We run the high octane because the motors will start to detonate if ran with too low of octane.With that being said I run a mix of VP C-12 and 92 from Sheetz.Thats what I run in my big bikes and I dont feel like having an extra gas can for the 50 so I just run the same gas.
I ran 93 octance pump fuel in my 88 race head, and still run the same thing in my 124SE. I used to run U4 but stopped running it becuase it was a pain to get.
