We are not getting any reports of poor performance with any of the other high octane unleaded fuels. If you have a favorite supplier then have the bike set-up for it. There is enough difference in the fuels to warrant this - we're still talking GSX-R1000s here. With the Hayabusa, standard unleaded is all that is required. It is far more important to have clean, fresh fuel than to have a fuel with a high octane rating.
Political correctness necessitates that we do not recommend or condemn one oil company, however when the same name keeps popping up whenever poor running issues are raised then that company has some explaining to do. Typically an oil company will not admit to any faults (Mobil - light aircraft fuel etc.)
Another thought. If your standard bike is running fine on Optimax, then perhaps you should look at having the injectors cleaned. <i></i>
