Will it give you any more power or is it just wasted money?

Weird though that the manual that came with my bike says it shouldn't have anything lower than 91, I've used regular (87 i think) for the last 3 years with no problem.

http://cgi.stanford.edu/~sanjayd/gs500/Main/General See info under Fuel Type... 87 octane in the US = 91 or whatever specified in the owners manual

that says Fuel: RON 90.

I took this to mean minumum 90 octane.
