91 minimum.
87 octane would be the minimum but 91 would be more ideal.
I had an 1986 Honda shadow VT1100 (loved it) and I ran mid grade with no problems. You can run 87 octane with no problems.
I would use 91 octane gas. That is what I used in my Honda Elite 150.

Regular should work just fine. If you hear it knock a little, then use super.
87 octane unleaded. There is no benefit to running higher octane fuel in the VLX. The only caution is fuel with a heavy ethanol content as the ethanol can attract water when sitting for a while which will cause problems with the carburetor. (Personal experience.)
87 octane regular
The gas octane that would be the best in a Honda CR-V from 2009 is 87 octane. Higher octane gas will improve its performance, but it is only necessary to have 87.
