This is out of the service manual - "For average operation at ambient temperatures of 30-90°F, use SAE 20W-40 type "SE" motor oil".
I run a Honda CB750 as well and the engine specs are very similar (plain bearings etc). For these engines fully synthetic oil is not recommended and you also want oil that has a high zinc content as that helps with wear factors. I would think these tips apply to the TX750 as well.

I'm using Shell Rotella T-6 which seems to work fine.

I use a 20w-50 - work greak and with the oil frothing issues like the heavier weight and the added piece of mind.
