    I don't know about "older" bikes, but my Shiver doesn't much care for Gull's "biofuel". The wee Italian much prefers 95 or normal 98.

    Its not the 98 bit, its the 5% ethanol in it. Causes problems on older biles especially those with crabs

    go for 91, they don't need 98. Comm isn't at all high. Spend the money on tyres.

    my bike and both my cars hate gulls fuel! Maybe just bad luck or I too tight to buy some quality machines that can use this green fuel?

    BP 98 makes a bit of a difference to the bike but overall, in bang for buck.. it runs most econmically on 95/96
