i usually run my bikes on Avgas because of the crap fuel we have here. Will it be okay to run an 09 on Avgas or are there catalytic converters, or o2 sensors that the lead will ruin?
 
No, due to the fact they have an O2 sensor which will become damaged by the lead, their are special HEGO O2 sensors which will work but they have to be matched to EFI. besides their is no benefit to run race gas or Avgas because the engine does not have enough compression, 13:1 + yes, either way without re-programing a new ignition map you could not expect to see an improvement in actual fact most probably will see a decrease in power because leaded fuels have a slower burn rate hence they require more advance.
