I foolishly forgot to fuel up my BMW R1200C motorcycle in Kelowna a few years back before heading south on Hwy 33 (Rock Creek). None of the towns on that stretch of road have anything close to the octane rating BMW recommends for this bike. I'm sure I was running on fumes when I finally stopped and had to put regular into it. Didn't miss a beat on the rest of the trip, but I've never put regular into it since, so, no great help to you, but I was quite glad it ran ok. You tend to be more in touch with what your engine is doing on a bike, it's right there under you growling away, so if anything's not right, you usually notice straight away.
