CB1100 First Impressions

[redbirds_imp]

First, congrats on the new bike. It's a beauty.

I know little about fuel and octane ratings but my understanding is that there is no advantage in using a high octane fuel in a motor like the CB1100's that is designed to run efficiently on regular 87. To my knowledge, there is no engine knock sensor that would allow the motor to operate with more timing advance with higher octane fuel. I simply use 87 octane and rarely, ethanol free when practical.
