My friend has recently aquired an motorbike DT50 MX 1985 and he needs to know what kind of petrol would it take?

It will be fine on unleaded, providing the Autolube system which injects 2 stroke oil into the fuel/air mix is in working order.
To check, remove the semi circular cover from the R/H front of the engine to reveal the oil pump. Turn the throttle and you should see a round cable pulley rotating maybe a quarter turn and springing back when you close the throttle.
On the front of the pump, facing you; you will see a crosshead screw about 5mm diameter, undo this and 2 stroke oil should drip out. Check the 2 stroke oil tank is full.
If the pump and associated plumbing is missing/ seized, not working, broken, which is common, then you will need to mix 2 stroke oil in the petrol instead. (around 220 cc per 5 litres to give a petrol / oil ratio of about 25 - 1).

Use a good grade of two stroke oil at 40:1 ---- 3.2 ounces of oil per gallon of premium fuel.

I used to have this bike and it took 2 stroke which would be unleaded with 2 stroke additive.
Hope this helps

I used to put aviation fuel in mine and it ran fine. (not jet A1) just standard aviation fuel used in single engine aircraft.

you'd have to use unleaded and add 2-stroke oil
