Default Simple Question couldn't find the answer

Hey, its a simple question but im not sure the answer and i couldn't find it in search or on harleydavidson.com. What kind of gas do you put in your vrod? Do they all take the same? Does it have to be premium? Or can you run unleaded?

ORIGINAL: ones

It needs premium. High compression engine.
[sm=exactly.gif] It's 11.3:1, TCs are around 9:1. It runs like crap with anything less than 91 octane.

Because I run without baffles and therefore have increased the fuel flow to prevent a lean condition I regularly getabout 32 mpg. By arithmetic your looking at about118 miles for the 3.7 gallon tank. You cannot suck it completely dry.I ran mineempty with the ol' lady following me with a gallonand hit 109.7 before it crapped out. With thetank from Unlimited Engineering I have a capacity of 5.3 gallons or 170 miles, but I have not run it empty yet.
