Is this yours, for sale, you just bought it?

My goodness, that thing is a hoss!  :yikes:

How many gallons/liters will that tank hold?

Am I to take the 5,7 as "5.7 liters" in American style notation?  Is that the engine or tank size?  (I hope tank, otherwise that bike IS a tank, and has a bigger engine than my truck!).

  A guy I know from work(he and his brother finish drywall) has a boss. I sat on his,wow,those things are big! He's the president of the Boss Hoss ass. "Carborator Mike" is his handle, he rebuilds,sets up, the carbs for the boss owners.

The 5.7L (Chevy 350) is the "little" Hoss.  They used to build one with a 502 Chevy Big Block (8.2L).  Now they just offer the 5.7L Chevy ZZ4 crate motor with Holley fuel injection (355 @ 5250 rpm and 405 Ft.Lbs @ 3500 rpm) and the 6.0L Chevy LS2 crate motor with GM's multi-port EFI (425@5750 rpm and 425 Ft.Lbs. @ 4750 rpm).

If that was tank size, it wouldn't get you very far... 5.7L is only 1.5 US gallons (1.25 imperial gallons).  The Boss Hoss bikes have 8.5 gallon tanks with no reserve.  Their trikes have 8.5 gallon main with a 3.5 gallon reserve.
