Had three this spring but now down to one.

I would like to have a small, convenient bike for ripping around town...and a heavier cruiser/dresser/bagger for trips out of town. I did that for a couple of years, then the insurance and maintenance costs got me down.

I bought the Z750 to tread the line in between...good in town and on the highway. Not quite as successful as having two, though.

So, this spring I had all three but liquidated over the summer.

I currently have 4. My main bike that I ride the most is the 2000 Vulcan Classic 1500. I also have a 2006 Harley Sportster1200 that my 19 year old son rides the most. I also have my very first bike which was a Bridgestone 100, fast little bike had it over 70 mph when I was younger and we also have a 1983 Honda Passport 70 if you can consider that a motorcylce.

I kept my 250 Rebel when I got my Vulcan 900. The Rebel gets 70+ MPG and handles very easily in city traffic when running errands. My daughter will probably end up with it later.

Had three, sold the wife's Honda now we have two. V-Star 1300 Tourer and my V2K. I'd like to add a full blown touring bike someday like a Venture.

I have two girl friends. One is hyper, while the other is more laid back. Ones been sitting in the garage more, while I'm getting use to the other. The older girlfriends have been getting neglected. Not sure how to tell them good by.

Technically I have 2, but I can only ride one of them a lot. The other one my wife rides and I can only steal that once in a while!

I had two bikes for about 3 months. I wanted a bigger bike but I was having a hard time selling my Shadow. I found a great deal on a 1600 Classic so I decided to buy it and sell the Shadow when I could find a buyer. I miss the
Shadow but I could not afford both.

I have two Suzuki's. A 1600 Marauder (Mean Streak), and the smaller 800 M50. Both great bikes and no complaints, just wish I could sell the M50. I'll say this though, the 800 is butter smooth compared to that vibrating beast big brother.

Talking Two here

I had a 2006 900LT as soon as they came out. My HD friends convinced me if I liked it so much I would really love a Harley. Nine months later I traded it in on a new 2007 Heritage Softail Classic. I liked it but there were things about the 900LT I liked better so I've kept the HD and bought another new 2008 900LT. I ride it at least as much. On a recent trip I took the 900LT because it has the Mustang seat on it and it drives great!

I sincerely hope the yellow one doesnt scare you too bad when you take off on her... LOL I feel like I have 2 bikes since I am in charge of my lovely wifes VStar 650 Classic and my V2K Classic LT, if I had 2 of my own, I would love to have a 650 kawasaki Dual Sport or since i am dreaming... the big KTM950 Dual Sport for the times I feel like cutting through the desert. I wouldnt mind a Hopped up Harley or a Indian either just to play on. I notice some guys here have a Meanie and a V2K or Nomad, too much fun.

I've got two:

'00 Nomad
'06 V2K LT

Didn't plan on this, but it sure is nice. Eventually, the Nomad will find a new home. Strange, both run, very well I might add.

I've got 2, except they are the same bike. I have an '01 and an '05 ZRX. I liked the first one so much, I bought a 2nd.

Years ago I had a KZ650 and a Suzuki RM400 dirt bike.
