Ok so Motul RBF600 seems to be the favourite. However I think I have found something a bit better
Everything I have read seems to point to Castrol SRF being the best brake fluid money can buy. I am sure it's massively overkill but hey who cares.

Hrpworld.com sell all sorts of different brake fluids and list them here:
http://www.hrpworld.com/index.cfm?form_cat...action=category

They point out the Castrol as being the best for extreme temps. It is sold as a 'racing' product and marketed at racing teams and the like. However it also is included in some aftermarket brake upgrades info here:
http://www.pistonheads.com/tvr/chimaera/brakes.htm

Honda Racing used it in their 2004 Superbikes, as do many car racing teams including a number of F1 teams.

It is DOT4 approved but far exceeds that, and is compatible with all major braking systems inc ABS and Non-ABS cars.

The Castrol retails at about
