Did you read this on the US FZ1OA forum, Nick? If so, US uses Motor Octane Number to indicate octane whereas UK/Europe uses Research Octane Number.
The same fuel will score lower on the MON test than on RON so you can't make a direct comparison.
Use 95 octane regular unleaded in the UK. I expect some will reply that Shell Advance Super or similar works better in their bikes but it's not what I've found.
