I have four. But I need to shift the mix a bit.
Having a classic or two should not count against ones 4 bike limit though I think, don't you?

I may die with nothing to show for it but there will be a heck of a garage sale.

Four?
Personally I think Jay Leno has a real good start on a garage.

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

I am fine with three....I have combined the fast/far one in the form of an FJR. I want a cruiser (brand irrelevant) and the GS, that would complete my stable!

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
).

One to go fast on...
One to go far on...
One to play with in the dirt...
And one to cruise around on lazy afternoons....
I'm half way there....
Thats my story (to the wife) and I'm stickin' to it...
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.
