As he mentioned its not for power but he mentioned that factory rating rises if you raise the Ignition timing or go to high compression pistons ( my ECU was flashed and ignition timing altered by guhls) and the 93 octanes having more detergents to keep higher tuned engines cleaner.
The CB1100 is designed to run on 87 octane and up to 10% ethanol (not 15%) and says this in the owne'rs manual.(as most Hondas have been for years)
Running any higher grade of gas than that, is just wasting money. You get no more performance and it doesn't run any "better" or cleaner. Of course, it's your motorcycle and your money.

Thats why I thought I was always supposed to use 93 to keep all my carburetors cleaner for longer? (The extra detergents)
I appreciate the video tho Idk how I never saw that one on their channel.
