I was specifically speaking about the US market were E85 is wildly available and we are about to change our standard blend from E10 to E15.
Motorcycle manufacturers are resisting this change because they claim E15 will destroy even newly made motorcycles. Bikes that were manufactured well after the timeline to move to E15 was announced. When E10 was mandated they didn't bother to look ahead to the next step and make their engines E15, E20, E25 compatible.
