That's where I was.... Paying insurance, property tax, plates, etc on bikes that I never rode just didn't make sense... but again, to each their own.

I agree, I think that I an happy with 2, possibly 3.

I want a cruiser or tourer (goldwing/harley etc)
Sport bike or supermoto
Dualsport

for me I would just like to add a GS900 to get some dual sport. I honestly have no desire to go back to sportbikes... other than that, maybe a small dirt bike.

But if money is no object... I'd have several other bikes that do the same thing...

In ND it's actually cheaper (at least for me) to insure year round. I get an annual discount that makes it more affordable than to just insure them for 6-9 months. Plus, I never have to worry if the insurance is up to date on them or not... I just get on and go!
