I will never put anything but premium in any bike I love. 10% more, pshh.
Do some research,. In some cases, you are actually harming your motor by running premium if it calls for regular. What part of premium can harm your motor are you not understanding?
So if you really love your bike, and the manual calls for regular, than that's what you should be using.
I really don't get this whole idea, that just because it cost more, it must be better.

Ever notice that the person
telling you to calm down
is the same one that got you worked up
in the first place.
