I was gonna say... car tuners are kinda flocking to E85 because it can put out near-race-gas HP numbers, but is still street legal. Just have to have an engine that's properly set up for it. When it comes to E10, the 250R and 300 were engineered with the proper seals and o-rings to live with low ethanol content fuel. And really, it's not going to make a pre-gen burst into flames either. Going by butt-dyno here, but I've long since stopped being snobby and filled up my race bike with the cheap stuff.

That said, E-free with a shot of Seafoam over the winter, especially on carbed bikes is a good idea.
