If I have to store a bike for a while I replace the fuel with aviation gas. I know from experience that aviation gas will last for up to a year.

http://www.goldeagle.com/brands/stabil/default.aspxModern gasoline does not remain good in storage as gasoline did years ago. Either draining the tank (good idea in a dry climate like Arizona) or filling to the top with gasoline plus Sta-bil or equal is best. Running the disconnected carburetor dry is good.
