Can you ensure you will always be able to by the none ethanol fuel?

Non ethanol would be the far better choice but it is rare to find.

I buy the non ethanol when I can. But to answer your question, yes it's better to buy the non ethanol if 91 octane will work in your bike.

91 should be fine in your motor.

Non-ethanol is better as long as the Octane rating is sufficient for your engine.
