91 octane is super un-leaded that is what's recommended. I only bought a belly full of 94 octane 1 time so far and didn't notice much af a difference,so I stick with the 91,it's already expensive enough!

I run 92 or 93. Hard to find 91 around here. Everyone I have talked to tells me to run mobil gas because its good quality stuff. I freakin hate mobil and exxon though (they make too much money) and wont use their gas in my trucks and cars. My cars and trucks run fine on the cheap stuff... maybe I'll try it in my bike later.

Default 93 here in Southern La.
Usually our choices here in New Orleans are 87, 98 and 93 so I use 93. On a recent trip to Wisconsin I used 91 quite a bit and didn't notice any difference.
