I can't answer this question directly but can at least
give a helpful pointer if the answer is "Yes, you can
use leaded gas".  A friend of mine has a few `old' (i. e.
1972 or so) bikes from back in the days when high octane
gas was the real thing.  He boosts the octane of his gas
by buying 5-gallon quantities from a nearby community
airport.  According to him the gasoline used for private
airplanes is somethine like 105 - 110 octane! He then
mixes this with regular leaded gas, or even unleaded.
He says it really gives a lot of zip.

My friend has been an amateur racer for the last 8 years
and does ALL of the maintenance on his bikes except for
the stuff that would require machining of parts.  I say
this only to point out that he is more than just a casual
rider.

Any caveats to this technique will be readily accepted.
