You should be fine. I'm running Agip 20W/50 in my motor at the moment and it seems to be good.
Good oil pressure when hot and the 20W rating will mean it'll hang around the rockers on a cold start, 'casue it's nice an thick.
Because it's thicker when cold though, make sure you let the bike warm properly and keep the fast idle a slow as possible. Just enough to start, and knock it off as soon as possible.
This is a good idea anyhow, regardless of the oil though.
