IMS created the new tanks because there was a need in the market for off-roaders and racers alike to increase their time and distance in the saddle. ‘’Off-road enthusiasts can travel farther and racers can practice longer,’’ IMS President Scott Wright explains. ‘’It also improves the odds against that real annoyance - running out of gas. Hey, we’ve all been there.’’ 4-time Motocross Champion Gary Jones, owner of the Gary Jones/Yoshimura off-road racing team, is very enthusiastic about the new product: "It’s great because it gives you the extra-capacity you need yet retains the feel of a stock tank. It’s really easy to move around on the bike and keep in the proper riding position. Plus, these new IMS tanks look really cool. We leave ours on all the time, whether racing a WORCS event or a local motocross.” Versatility is really the key to this new breed of extra capacity fuel tank. The tanks are thin, sleek and easy to grip with your legs. The IMS GP tanks really capture the overall requirements of the serious off-road rider and racer.
