The new rockets are designed to run on regular. Yes higher compression can mean higher octane but you also take into account static compression versus dynamic compression. Fuel injection, head cooling, and head design also play a role. That is why engines today can have higher compression than they did in the past and still run on regular.
Dirt Bike magazine did an octane comparison many years ago and found the lower the octane the more power. They did run the test engine with some fuel well below what the manufacturer called for and it made the most power until detonation put a hole through the piston. Higher octane is only to stop detonation because of its greater resistance to burn. If you put premium in a motor that doesn't require it you are just spending a little more money, making a little less power and adding detonation protection that is meaningless.
I only run regular in my bike and when I had it making 160hp at the rear wheel, it was done with regular, without issue, on the dyno and if it doesn't have an issue on the dyno it isn't going to have an issue on the road.
