Yeah, but there have only been four:

Honda CB400F
Suzuki S-40
Honda Shadow 1100 Spirit
 
Would add a Motobecane scooter to the list below.
Not too many but every one has been enjoyed more than the previous one.
 
I've got a few minutes while waiting on the girls to get ready so I'll take a stab at it.
Being in the business/ around racing for most of my life I've had a lot of bikes.
My best bet is to list my favorites:


'80 CB750F
'82 CB450SC
'87 FZR1000
'90 GSXR1100
'90 FZR1000 (I bought and sold this one 3 times over 10 years)
'93 CBR900rr
'00 Blackbird
'03 GSXR750
'01 Bandit 1200
'05 SV650N
'08 DRZ400SM
'12 Streetglide
'14 Speed Triple R

19 1993 Seca 600 (junk, haha)
20 1989 YSR50 (with RM125 motor)
21 1978 CB125S (pit bike)

The problem is...I still have them all in my garage and race warehouse, LOL. I've reduced it from 30 that I had last summer, but buying is so much easier than selling. I'm guessing I'm up to ~125 total bikes owned in 30 years of riding and wrenching (to support my riding habit). What can I say, I like variety!:lol2: Now that my son is racing in the CMRA, we have a bunch of track-only bikes in the race shop. I don't really ever buy them to flip them, I buy what I want to ride. I keep most bikes for 1-3 years.
