I'm sure it's half that... 200 to 250mls should provoke the urge to urinate and require active thought to prevent it.

EDIT:

Smith's General Urology states that the normal bladder can expand to 400 mls and will only be palpable if moderately distended. Therefore, 500 mls would seem to be about right, no?
