Good Evening Benny, I don't do a lot of miles so have been using Super Unleaded instead, I think others are as well,

Although I have no need to any more, when It first came in I was still riding up to London every day & had no issues with E10.

As Chris said as I'm not doing the milage now, commuting was 350 miles per week... I just stick Super in, Its more expensive but then even 'normal' petrol is over 150 per litre now...

The issue with E10 is if left in the tank the water in the Ethanol seperates out & can rust tanks + it's not a lot of good for thr rubber bits.

However Honda say It's OK to use. In the States that have been using it for years.

So It shouldnt be an issue in daily use but If storing your bike long term dont leave it in the tank & drain the carbs.
Making up since 2007, sometimes it's true...Honest...
