T reg will have the 16l tank, later ones are taller in the middle, you'd notice if side by side, also if std paint the graphics/wording is different.

Lift it & look underneath... This is a 16ltr.

19ltr tanks have the petcock mounted on the frame not the tank...

Unless it's been painted later bikes have the Honda Wings on the tank early have a FireStorm decal.

Or you could just try filling it up, if you try getting 19lts in & it ends up mostly on the forecourt/your trews/boots its a 16ltr... :lol:
Making up since 2007, sometimes it's true...Honest...
