Petcocks on new bikes
I have been looking at several new bikes from various manufacturers. I could not locate a petcock on many of them. Is this standard, and should I be looking for a bike with a Petcock? Note: I am going to buy a brand new bike.

Petcocks are typically only found on bikes w/ carburettors .. Fuel Injected bikes have no need of a petcock, and most new bikes have a fuel gauge to let you know when you hit reserve
