Default High Octane Fuel

A local gas station in my area just began to carry 110 octane fuel. Would this hurt my bike at all??? Im just curious as to if i would cause any harm or if it would be a benefit at all. Thanks

bike wouldn't run any better, possibly worse. waste of money mostly as the bike only needs std 87 octane

Unless your bike is pinging, there is no need for a higher octane. I had a car that would ping in the summer heat and I solved the pinging by putting 89 octane instead of the 87 and the problem was solved. Once the summer heat waves had passed, I just went back to 87 and the car was fine.
