What is the realistic minimum number of motorbikes you need?

[onearmedbandit]

I had three, the sportsbike, the streetfighter and the ahem streetmagic (fun bike though). Didn't ride the SM at all, sold it. Don't ride the streetfighter enough, time to sell that. Anyone want one?

[F5 Dave]

I remag. ould have to be. Apparently it was stolen and recovered, still a runner, then left to languish. Somebody had a tutu with it and got it running but half dismantled the bike in the process so bits of it are buried under junk in the shed it calls home. The owner of the shed had an idea to use the motor in a go kart. I don't think that eventuated. It's the yellow and black colour scheme so I'm told. The best one.

They are doing a project one in CMM mag atm. Id love one.

Do you have sheds that you're keeping secret from your significant other? Despicable behaviour and devious to boot.

guilty on all charges

i was gonna put 'bits on the side' instead of 'shed'.


still thinking about the minimum number
min 5 but would like 7 and a few other things as well, sprots car, boat etc. dreams are free.

if I could register myself (instead of the bike) and ride whatever bike I own then there would be more

yes Akzle I have the wrong word description again

Except Bimota Mantra's, they're gay as fuck and should be killed with fire.

You lot are amateurs.

When a woman starts a sentence with "You can't...", then you fire her, and get on top of the next one. As a result, I have four bikes, two here (CBX1000 and a little Hayabusa) and two in a city, far, far away from here. Given that I've also spent this summer (what fucking summer?) selling most of my muscle cars here, soon I will have a couple (several) more bikes in said far away city. Because you need a street bike (which has to be a GSXR obviously) and a track bike, and a spare track bike for when the first track bike gets binned, and a naked. And a touring bike. I know this for a fact, it's written in the Human Bill of Rights Act, right between the section on marriage being a cruel and unusual punishment, and the section where it says it's acceptable to piss on Axzle from a great height.

What is this? A reasonable discussion on kiwibiker that hasn't descended into a flame war?!!

Give it time. None of the regular protagonists are here yet. I'll PM them if you like?

And fer fucks sake nobody gives a shit if you've got a GT-19506 or use Tapatalk. That's nearly as bad as dissing a Harley from a 250.

[haydes55]

Sidecar for speedway
Sidecar for circuit racing
Sidecar for the road
Thou sprotty
S1000xr or multistrada or dorsoduro etc
Trail bike

That'll about do.

Is that you Mr Trump?

[madbikeboy]

Is that you Mr Trump?

That guy is seriously not right in the head. Did you see his press conference? The ramblings of a lunatic. It was always clear he was a sociopathic narcissist, but now it looks even worse... Delusional.

[MarkH]

Realistic minimum?
4 or 5 maybe.

Maximum?
LOL - No such thing!

My ST1300 is good for sealed roads - got me from the Waikato to Invercargill for the Burt Munro rally, I ran up over 4,000kms in a couple of weeks.
My DR650 is good for sealed roads & gravel roads and also handles a bit of 'bush bashing'.
I'd like a bigger adventure bike like the Africa Twin to handle other than sealed roads while still having enough luggage capacity to run big trips.
For something different - a Zero Motorcycles DSR 13kWh bike for short range commuting.
Maybe something a bit more off-road capable than the DR650 for the tougher trails.

[Tazz]

Forty Two.

[pritch]

Forty Two.

Nah that was Bill Clinton. Trump is 45.

[Swoop]

Correct answer is "one". You can only ride one at a time.
But if it's off the road, then a replacement would be needed...

There's no such thing as too many.

The question was "minimum", not "too many"!

I think you have reached motorcycling nirvana ( the state not the band) when you are happy with a sweet phat magna.

And a nice warm goat for those cold, cold nights...

America gets the president it deserves. Just look at the last two idiots they chose. Mr Bland and Mr Tooretardedtoeventiehisownshoelaces.

Too many is when you cant get access to the one you want to use because off lack of access.

Number restriction set by available storage space which is related to willingness to gain more storage space.

My wife told me when I got the second that there would never be a third bike.

Install towbar and get trailer under the need ability to finish renovation. Then introduce track bike.

Now my wife has introduced "There will never be a Forth bike".
Its like some sort of challenge that she has put before me.

Im thinking Motard would be ok and now I have bike trailer perhaps a trail bike also.

I've been riding this all week since taking it to a Vintage Motorcycle Rally last weekend.
I've got other far cooler bikes but this one is the best all rounder.
It would be perfect if it had a Guzzi 850 motor but then would be too heavy.
Probably classified as a sort of street scrambler.
Quite custom here in AK as the plate is on normally, seat is black and no exhaust wrap


I get the spray on dirt from Amazon.
