Which Gasoline for my Motorcycle? (Part I: Octane Rating)

It's important to remember that gasoline octane ratings are not indications of quality. Different countries employ differing rating systems, but all octane ratings are simply a measurment of a given fuel's resistence to ignition. Higher octane or "Premium" gasoline isn't "better" than lower octane, it's just harder to ignite. Running higher octane than necessary to avoid preignition won't make your motorcycle run better or add HP, or even run "cleaner". However, it won't harm to anything except your wallet, so if it makes you feel better...
In Part II, we'll explore whether there's a difference between brands of retail gasoline in the USA.
