How long is gas still "good" in a tank? Premium gas, pretty sure it's 10% ethanol.

I've let high octane sit in dry environments for six to nine months multiple times w/o issue. YMMV

As I understand it, the issue with the ethanol is attracting moisture. If I was going to leave a bike for a year, without someone around to ride it, I'd drain the fuel, run it dry, and put the it on a stand.
