I don't think that's what it means. First of all, understand that EU fuels numbers (RON) are different than US numbers ((R+M/2)). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octane_rating
What they are saying is that the use of anti-knock techniques in the engine computer allow the bike to take advantage of higher octane, while still allowing the bike to run on lower octane.
