Default How many bikes have you got?

Just a conversation I was having with my dad and some of his friends about bikes.

I've only got one at the moment
Dad has 4, single, twin (Hor Opp), triple, and an IL4
His friend only had 1 after selling two recently

Then I read the post about having a bike to last all season...

Really, is there a bike that does it all? A good comfy reliable commuter, that can be wizzed round a B road, and also keep up with a sports bike on a track day?

How many bike do you realisically want, is one enough, or do you want more for more occasions?

Random monday fun.

Most at I had at one point was 3, a RS50, a ER-5 and a heavily modded DT125(thing was amazing) :P

1. And a BMX

Would like a hack too (DR350 or the like ideally). My new one is too nice to let rust.

I have 3 bikes at the moment
Honda 125 off roader- never ride it
SV650s K5 - it's a heap of rust and scratches and doesn't like running on 2 cylinders
Ducati 749s - used most for commuting and fun.

I've got 2 SVs. Ones set up for long distance motorway stuff,ones standard gearing, which is apreciated more on the roads round here. I was only meant to have one, but I couldn't face selling the black one when I'd used it for the purpose it was bought for.....even after Suzy was back up and running. TBH its just as cheap on the insurance for both so no need to get rid.

Was the owner of 4 at one point, but 1 and 2 went before 4 arrived

Now keeping it simple:

Daytona 675 for sweeping fast roads

KTM 560SMR for tiny twisty roads
