SOME colors will have the metal tank sooner than others.
I have only heard of a metal tank on two Green S3, so far, in the US. That is not to say there have not been others. I hear the flat black S3 is showing up with metal tanks in Europe - just not in the US in that color yet.
If a plastic tank unsettles you... :gayaway: :gtfo: ;D
Hooligans only!

Heh. I don't like the idea of a fist size rock bouncing up and hitting my gas tank, doing the flaming Ghost Rider thing.Devious2xs said:
You're a hooligan, eh? I take it that means you don't wear a leather jacket because only wimps worry about road rash?

Actually the plastic tanks are very thick.
Ever seen a plastic fuel cell? They are thin, and much harder to puncture than any metal tank.

I'm not a huge fan of the plastic tank either, but I'd say if a fist-sized rock (or anything big enough for that matter) comes at you at speed sufficient to puncture your polymer fuel tank, you have much bigger things to worry about than a gas leak...like your skull!
Just a thought.

I can honestly say from personal experience that crashing multiple times does not cause fuel leaks. In fact, the cool thing about a polymer tank is they don't even dent, really. The Triumph tank is actually marked quite clearly "Acerbis" on the bottom. Thick plastic and very very tough! A completely different plastic than the bodywork and front fender.
Given my experience with crashing metal tanks, I'll take a plastic tank any day.

·Me too. I'm really disappointed that Triumph has gone to metal tanks after all these years. A backwards step in my opinion. What's next, cabies instead of efi?
