What is held in these containers under the front fairing of the 1190?

[xtremelow]

1 plastic - fuel overflow; 1 plastic - water overflow, 1 aluminum - fill tank for coolant system

Water overflow?????? Wonder what the water goes to, since he noted the aluminum one is for the coolant?

It's the overflow for the cooling. The aluminum one is where you fill the coolant and the water one is an overflow so that you don't lose coolant when it gets hot.

Possibly has water injection into the intake manifold to super cool the air entering the engine. Although, why you would need an overflow for that makes me wonder if that's actually it.

I know virtually nothing about road racing motorcycles, but in the car racing world, many sanctioning bodies require a "puke can" for coolant overflow, as to minimize spilling coolant on the track (which can cause MAJOR problems, I have personal experience!).
