Default 110 octane mixture?

Hey guys sorry for the newb question, but is it possible to do a race gas mixture in bikes like cars do? Except maybe 1/3-1/2 gallon of 110 octane mixed with 93 octane since bike tanks are obviously smaller. Just curious as to if it would enhance performance or have any serious downfalls like running super lean or burning the plugs faster? Any input would be greatly appreciated. If this helps i have a 2006 cbr1000rr, mods are yoshi slip on w/ mid-pipe, airbox flapper mod, k&n intake filters, heat foiled airbox, smog plate mod, and thats pretty much it. Thanks guys!

Been answered a few times, but in a stock compression bike, higher octane results in less power. Higher octane fuel burns slower than lower in the same compression settings.

Premium gasolines will give you better performance, increased mileage, burn cleaner with fewer emissions, and ultimately result in less wear & tear on the engine.

This is what the oil companies would have you believe

In other words, race gas isnt good to use on the stock compression bikes. Lol
