Hey Eagle747.
The link Marcnicol posted is correct.
The exact volume is 26l. But due to the design of the valves at the bottom, you may not be able to get the full benefit of it. Meaning there may be some petrol left that the valves cannot access. So it's somewhere in between 25l and 26l.
You can save about 60Euros if you forego the high polish finish and just take the raw paint. But negotiate that with Thorsten at OTR. It was something he offered me, but I don't know if it's a standard deal or if I was treated as a special case.
I have not heard of an alternative being made (like Acerbis, for example). But if you in your research come across simillar products, this forum will be VERY interested to hear from you. Because as Maxwell said, it IS rather pricy. I bought my tank because I needed it for a long distance trip. You can make various solutions with custom made jerrycans that you strap on your bike. But in my humble oppinion it is a poor (albeit clever) substitution. But that's just my personal preference.
Oh and just to comment on the slow delivery mentioned by Marcnicol, I can attest to that. The tanks are only made in each individual case whenever someone orders one. So it's not like they just pull one down from the shelf and ship it to you. This ofcourse increases the delivery time. At the time it was frustrating for me, because I was on a pretty tight schedule and had only a small window of opportunity to test run it before the real trip started. But, if you are aware of the delivery time in advance, it's not as much a problem, as just another thing to plan for. Ask Thorsten at OTR(he speaks good english) what timeframe he's talking about when/if you place an order.
Questions? Just ask.
Best regards
Torsten
