So spoke to Yamaha techbical and they confirmed that my 2007 FZ1 is compatible with E10 petrol.
It says that if your vehicle is unsuitable for E10, E5 should still be available in SUPER grade. Does that mean it's going to be a choice between E10 or expensive but now with added E5?.
I’m pretty certain Red Ceri has got an E10/FZS1000 horror story, despite what is claimed by Yamaha regarding E10 suitability.

I don't see it that way. The production and infrastructure for those alternatives you mention are not in place in the volumes reqd to replace petrol/diesel, and no-one wants to pay for them. Some of those alternatives mean we will need to rely on other nations to supply and transport to us, meaning they will have us over a barrel. The world is unstable, and becoming more so as resources diminish and alternatives need to be sought. This is why the Chinese, Russians and others are expanding there spheres of influence into nations with yet untapped resources.
Few years ago whilst on a tour to Normandy I accidentally filled up with fuel with the highest Ethonol content available at the time

A couple of years ago in Germany a truck driver advised me not to use E10 stating it messes up the carb diaphragm
Not in Teesside, north wales, Scotland, Dorset or north west England I believe, they will have ethanol in their super but only up to 5%
