I attached pictures of my current bikes this season in order from best to worst. My CRF450L, CBR650R, Sptint150, SR50, PC50, and Cushman Truckster which is technically a motorcycle but...

I've sold a few bikes in the past couple of years but my fleet still includes my 08 Kawasaki ZG1400 Concours, a fantastic machine.
My 2012 Suzuki DR650 with about $2K worth of suspension upgrades is an outstanding dual sport ride.
My son has taken over the use of my 99 Buell X1 but I still get to ride it occasionally.
After many years of work my 1967 Kawasaki A7 Avenger if nearing the end of it's restoration.

It looks like you have a machine for all conditions John. I love the Buell. Always wanted one. I have a friend that has a xb9r. Fun track bike, very torquey. I'd love to eat some miles up on the Connie too. Looks comfy.
The Buell is a torque monster for sure. I bought the Concours new in 08 and 80000km and 15 years later I still love it.

I'm happy to see I'm not the only one with multiple bikes.
Just for reference in case anyone is not aware of the formula for the correct number of bikes to own it is: X+1, X being the number you currently own.

I think the most I had at once was around 5/6. Only 2 now, but probably enough pieces and parts to build another f3 if I wanted to.
Edit. Forgot the kids pw80

Well, I do have 4 more vintage Kawasakis that are either parts bikes or waiting to be restored. The number is limited by my storage space.
1989 FZR250 (JDM), 1988 FZR400, 1990 GSXR750, 2009 ZX6-R.
I have a soft spot for 80s sportbike with double round headlights.
The FZR400 and the ZX6-R is the only left. I'm in the (long) process of turning the ZX6-R back into a road legal streetfighter.
That FZR250 Japanese import was something else. 18,000 RPM redline and light as a feather. They don't make the 250s here like they did in Japan.

Ultra, baby! (Sofa model) Just like this (not my photo):
Spin 'er up to a buck 20, lock on the cruise control, crank the satellite radio & eat up the miles. Put >90k miles on 'er since '08. Not bad for a neck of the woods that sees a bunch of snowy winter each year. And, yes, I have rubbed the floorboards on the pavement.
And an old iron Sporty that's been bored, stroked, cam'd, carb'd, dual plugged & single-fired, ported & polished to an outstanding, wait for it, 74 cubic inches! Removed the electric start, put on a kicker & soon developed Sportster Leg, a chronic condition due to poorly adjusted valves, timing, points & spark plugs. Get those aligned, she's a one kicker. Not? Sportster Leg...
Bought a rigid frame for it years ago, always wanted to chop it. Have a Weber 40IDF I've always wanted to mount on 'er, as well.
Edit: For those who don't know Hawgs, FLHTCUI, ElectraGlide Ultra.
