WRC, Nothing wrong with Auto transmission fluid. Infact IIRC that is what Honda recommends for a couple of their bikes.
Thing with transmission fluid is the viscosity index is usaully quite high and so in theory less affected by temperature change.

Hornet's Nest probably best option without knowing what the original Honda recommendation is.

If it were me, I'll be inclined to ask a dealer(workshop) if they could have a look in the service manual and tell me what the OE fluid is. Then you have a known base line so to speak.
