What fuel should I use in my classic motorbike?
I have a 1981 motorbike and want to get it running again. It ran on 4 star petrol and 2 stroke mix. What petrol should I use now?

Most motor factors still sell two-stroke mix, so you should get a bottle of this and some high octane Petrol – Tesco Momentum 99 Octane is the highest octane fuel that’s commonly available.
