This is from the EU Owners Manual correct?Benchmark wrote: Had we been talking about the previous model it would of been a different answer as BMW recommended RON98 and RON95 at reduced power. As it's no longer in the manual I very much doubt the bike is configured to take advantage of the higher rating.

I borrowed this and added quotes as this helped me understand the world look and math on gas.
"Here is the formula with proper parenthetical inclusion:
AKI = (RON + MON)/2
Let's start with the most liberal octane for MON = 8 octane below RON
(95 + (95-8))/2 = (95 + 87)/2 = 182/2 = 91 AKI
So,... that's as if the fuel in the MON test had the MOST octane in it.
Let's do the math as if the MON were conservative, or 12 octane below RON.
(95 + (95-12))/2 = (95+ 83)/2 = 178/2 = 89 AKI"
