Who wants to go down to South Seas and Montgomery Cycles to see what, if any, current sport bikes (other than the R1 and the Panigale/848SE) have metal tanks?

Doesn't the CBR 600/1000RR have metal tanks?

I put a magnet against the tank of a CBR1K at last year's IMS, and it slid right off.  Don't see a chance in hell that they're using aluminum tanks on those bikes with the price they sell them at either.

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw that—it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

Huh....
Never heard of the CBR tanks swelling tho
After more thought don't they a steel tank with plastic fairing cover over them?

Unless there have been big changes the gixxers should have metal tanks.

OK, it's been different, and the rain has been needed, but I'm ready for a break in this Winter weather.
