    i don't dispute the inconsistancys of the octane rating of the so-called race fuel & where its actually derived from but there definately a major difference between 96oct & even 98 Bp ultima fuels ( i never run 91), both the 96 & 98 display no change to the bike, yet the 'race fuel' theres a noticable difference. anyhow heres a pic to show the effect ( taken off my ph so quality ain't to flash) & a shot of the bike as of a few weeks ago, its back to rolling chassis now & hopefully should be a runner by mid Jan

    the pipe pic is just mild colour of what it runs compared to the dull crappy black from 96 or 98.
    the frame shot was just after it was repainted, only just put together for the shot nuts/bolts have been replaced along with bushes/seals & other assorted bits n pieces.
    the last pic is just a quicky of where its at presently

    There is,but it isn't bought in or sold by the major manufacturers, it is imported by the ELF Distributor and can't be bought at the pump

    and technically aren't you supposed to have a competition licence too before your able to purchase such fuels anyhow ?
    and with the fuel sold at stations its supposed to be sold only by container not directly into a vehicle fuel tank
