Just one.  But she needs 12 different pairs of boots in various colors and heels, 6 different jackets so she never has to wear the same one more than once a week, at least as many helmets in various styles and colors and pairs of pants (all of which she requires make her look 10 pounds thinner and make her butt look good), 18 different courier bags to accessorize her outfit ...

Ridingfar I may have to disagree with you on one small item, the number, I'm filling in the gaps of the 4 a little, and on a side note my wife must love me because she plain doesn't care (and if she did I just take a picture of her walk in closet and send it to her before I need to go get another bike and the picture speaks for itself LOL!!) how many are in the garage as long as she didn't have to pay for them and she can get her car in the garage. And I like your way of thinking just keep rolling with it

Triumph Sprint ST
Aprilia Falco
Suzuki Katana
Ducati Monster
Aprilia RXV 450
Kawasaki Vulcan 1500
Yamaha WR426
Husqvarna TE511
Kawasaki KFX Quad

And the connie is coming soon

oh yea and my wife has 1 her Honda Shadow

Having a classic or two should not count against ones 4 bike limit though I think, don't you? Smile

4 bikes -

1. Track bike
2. ST bike for commute and longer trips
3. Street fighter or naked type for local hooning
4. Classic or retro bike like an old cafe racer or a Thruxton.

My Daytona 675 serves as 1 and 3, Sprint as 2.  Would prefer a K1300S for 2 (and occasional 3).

I would take four of one kind, as long as it's the right kind.  Four naked roadsters would be the cat's meow!   Bigsmile

But really I'm just tickled to have two, even if one is my wife's mini-chopper - it's still fun!

Same here- the B12 for touring/ go relatively fast, the XR650 for the dirt/street, and the Tracker for the lazy day rides (which turn out to be not so lazy  Lol ).

Since I don't do lazy cruising at all, I just need to talk my wife into a dirt bike. With the bike I already have, that will cover it all for me. WE will see how that works out. Lol
