I run 87 in mine since that's what it calls for. Compression is only 9.5:1 so it doesn't need more. WHen I was in Colorado I ran 85 octane (because of the altitude I could run it) and I actually got 50mpg out of my bike the last couple days I was there and that was with some spirited riding! I normally got around 40-44 back then. The bad part was, I had 3/4 of a tank when I got home and it ran like crap on the 85 till I topped it off with 93 and went back to 87 after that.
