I have two, but three is the magic number for me. Once I pay off the Busa in two years, I will be picking up a M109R. I will be replacing my GSXR750 (track bike) next season for one of the newer 600's with a slipper clutch. So for 2010, I should be sporting a Busa, M109R and a 600cc track bike. Since I have to buy a house next year, it will have to have a three car garage!

I had 4... 07 busa, 06 gsxr 600 track bike, 06 raptor 700, 02 ex400 with a 04 kawasaki zx10 engine welded in. I couldnt ride them all. The bikes whoud just sit cause i always ride the busa. Theres only 2 days in the weekend so i sold the raptor and the ex/zx10 before they started to rust.
Id say 2 bikes. Street/track or street/dirt. Maybe track/dirt.

As many as your garage will hold.

I think it depends how much you ride. If you live to ride and would use more bikes I guess the sky's the limit (sounds like a single guys hobby to me tho 
). If you have time constraints and alot of bikes with limited riding time they can start to become a pain.....too much maintainence, need lots of battery tenders or new batteries frequently, lots of fuel stablizer, room, registrations, insurance, oil/fluid changes whether ridden or not.....not to mention most bikes depreciate pretty fast, so if they sit alot you'll be losing money hand over fist with no riding pleasure to show for it. Been there done that :
: I think 3-4 is my ceiling anymore. You need at least 2 tho.....always have a back-up bike

My riding habits have changed over the last 35 years. I'm too old for the dirt or the track. I can't afford more than two, but I would like to find a new home for the GSXR750K7, keep my busa for sporty stuff and get something really comfortable for 2-up with the wife

This is an on going discussion here at the shop. Brenda and I have 5 right now running...
1999 Busa
2001 TTR125
2002 YZ426F
2003 R6
2005 R1
Plus in the basement I have a ST1100 and a KX500 project. Both need lots of work.
The perfect number would be one that covers all your riding intrests.
