Hey, I thought I´d throw in my thoughts on the gas tank size. If you live in good old California I think the smaller tank is caused from the added emission stuff that is on the California bikes. I noticed on my bike that you can´t fill the tank to the top because of smog stuff built into the tank which keeps gas from flowing back to the emission canister and is probably the .3 gals. No big deal because .3 gals is not that much anyway and you can easily eat up that much gas by just twisting the throttle to much. I still love my bike. I have ordered a nice rack for the back and engine guards from \
