Default E85 fuel blend?

I was watching AFN last night and they had a piece on Bush's push for alternative fuel. It says that a there will be a lot more gas stations selling that E85 fuel blend in the states.

Does anybody know if the bikes will work properly on that stuff either EFI or carbed?

I,ve been told that you cannot use it in HD's I don't know if this is true or not. It may saw in the manual.

An engine has to be set up to either exclusively run E85 or have electronic sensors (FI only) to determine the type of fuel in the tank and adjust for it. As it cost the same as gas and you get nearly half the gas miliage I don't see why anyone would want to run it.
