Steel tank? was the triumphs made from something other/non magnetic?

The 07 and some earlier year Speedtriples have plastic tanks. During latter 07 and from 08 they have steel tanks. There is no advantage I can see in plastic tanks - are heavy as thick, hold less fuel and can't drop on the magnetic tank bag. That was the only thing I didn't like about that bike.
