There are actually MANY different coolant formulations, with some automakers using their own exclusive formulations (VW for example). Honda has always used a formula in their motorcycles that is silicate-free, and uses organic corrosion inhibitors that are formulated for aluminum engines. There are other properties to consider - seal conditioners, as well as lubrication of pump seals.
