A report I read recently said there was no firm deadline as yet for the introduction of E10 in the UK.
There have been quite a few hysterical articles about the current E5 petrol in the classic bikes magazines, and how it will cause havoc and destruction etc. Yes, it can cause problems with specialised glass-fibre petrol tanks, and with certain (older) makes of plastic fuel tank liners.
All I can tell you is my 1976 Suzuki GT380 runs perfectly well on E5, without any problems. It's caused zero issues with plastic / rubber components in the carbs and fuel lines.
Some people also complain that modern fuel goes 'off' quickly, or sludges up if left for more than a couple of weeks. Not for me -- over winter, the Suzi is often unused for up to 3 months with old fuel in the tank and carb floatbowls, yet it fires right up again on the same old fuel.
