well said mang!
some bikes and cars that were designed to run 87 may eventually need to run higher octane to prevent predet. this is due to things like carbon build up, which can make the engine run hotter , hence, you'll need gas that's less prone to predet...so higher octane.
high compression ratio itself doesn't justify higher octane though, things like timing also play a role.

I have a 94 cbr 600 f2 and i will not put 87 in.. for a simple reason Better gas mileage...... and my step dad is a dyno tech so i wanted to see the difference in accelration and good specs from 87-94 octane i only use 94 perfromace is better ill try finding the slip....... and put on hear if i can find but it did perfrom better on 94 and got more miles out of a tank of gas

I've tried to run higher octane, and have noticed nothing in the way of performance, or gas mileage... just the smell of unburnt fuel being more predominant in my exhaust gases... pretty smell from race gas, that is all...
Nothing but 87 octane for me. My 929 is meant to run on the cheap stuff, so why would I give it anything else?
