    Plastic or metal? And am I thinking right?

    Its 2014... EVERYTHING is plastic.

    IMO the most important thing is to use a good gas treatment product meant for storage. I know we all have faith in the Honda engineers... but even the OEM fuel system components will begin to breakdown and deteriotate if the bike (or any vehicle) sits for too long. I would try to get some miles on it every 2 or 3 months at minimum.
