Aw, heck…no way man! I need a minimum of two bikes. It took me a while to figure out which two, but I think I finally did…Gold Wing and the scrambler are a sweet pair! Good topic!
I would rather have more motorcycles than one expensive bike. My dream bike is an Aprilia v4, but the prices of it keeps the dream at bay. Right now I have 3 bikes. Two street ( 2017 GSX-R 750, 2020 GSX-S750 ) and one track bike ( 2011 GSX-R 750 ). Total cost ( without upgrades like suspension ) about 27k. A new Aprilia, about 26k. The plus side is, if I slide one across the pavement, I still have two others to ride. I have a buddy who spent a TON of money on getting his Ducati all set for racing, and the second race of the season, garagesaled it in turn 5. Now he can't afford to fix it, and his season is over.
I believe if I had that much money to spend on bikes, I’d most likely get 2. I just want a good tourer, and a good dirt road bike. Basically, what I have now. I spent $10,000.00 on the Wing, and $5,000.00 on the Strom. I ride both of them often, well worth the money for what I do with bikes!
Cha-ching! Wow! I didn't realize day care is that expensive! Not sure which I would choose..I would probably go with the one expensive motorcycle. You've got a really cool collection of bikes! That Low Rider ST is an awesome bike!
I think I'd have to do multiples as I would want ones that did different things. I think its an easy question for me as I don't have a "dream" bike but rather I like different bikes for what they can do...if that makes sense. Great question
I go with multiple bikes thinking. Yes, I'd love to have a Heritage Revival, but I know that is not in my range of affordability. HOWEVER, the real reason for my multiple bikes, goes back to the old saying "Variety is the Spice of Life" ! I love having a different experience to choose from every day I ride.
I don't think one bike would cut it for me since I like variety and functionality. The way I have my bikes set up, I have one for around town and one for more distance oriented riding and that's been working out. I'd love to add a 3rd but I'm gonna need to wait for a while before that lol.
For 50k....I could own a few bike's lol....but I've had 7 bike's at one time and my kid's said dad you have a different bike for everyday.....like I told them....I can only ride one at a time....so I eventually got down to 2 different bike's....and that's plenty for me lol... that's what I'm down to now....great topic brother....👊🏽😎
Thanks man. I’m sure at some point my number will go down as well. Eventually I won’t be able to ride these tall bikes so doing that while my knees still work lol
I only have time for one right now, but if I had the choice I would have multiple bikes. Prob one to ride long long distance and one from around town or local crusing. Two bikes would probably be the sweet spot for me. 😎🏍🏍. Good topic 🙂👍
25k in day care?! Bro, A role of duct tape is like $5 and should cover a week no problem. The more I toy with more motorcycles in the garage the more I just dump money into mine to make it exactly what I want to ride
Near and dear topic as I literally was beating my 🧠 trying to decide if I should part with all my very modestly priced yet very reliable bikes and just buy THE ONE 😯. After asking for advice from friends and then just obsessing over it I decided to just stick with my stable as is. That theory of not putting all your 🥚🍳's into one 🧺 kept coming to mind. So that's my way for now. Great topic. Helmet looks 👌 🔥
I’m so jealous of the room you have with that garage! And that’s why ChopperFett is my hero! My number is 30k and have room to store two bikes. Also, I don’t have kids-that daycare is spendy! 👍😀
For me motorcycles are like potato chips, you just can't have one lol. If I had a bigger garage no doubt instead of having 4 bikes I might have 8 or 10, this might be a good thing that I have a small garage lol!
@@ChopperFett OH Hubby has been trying to put the Harley in the living room and he got told no 🤣🤣 He said it's a work of art, a conversational piece lol!
Damn wind 😂 That’s a hard question. I kind of like having two and even 3 came in handy when the other two were down during a popular run up here. Even a new bike can break down and then you have something else to ride. However the maintenance part is getting a little ridiculous. Bahahaha you planned out the 20 grand 🤣. I have lots of storage space so that’s definitely not an issue but like I said it’s the cost of maintenance 🧑🔧. Oh Brett I wasn’t even thinking about it and now you got me going lol 😂 I say keep what you have and have options buddy
I like the idea of having multiple bikes - mostly because I'd buy them with different types of riding in mind. There really isn't a high dollar bike on the market that I feel like I have to have. That also makes owning more less expensive bikes more appealing.
For sure man. If you have the room to spare then go for it I say hahaha. I could myself finding a rocket 3 or diavel to replace everything but you can find those cheap on the used market too if you don’t need the newest model lol
Keeping all in mind of everything you said and trying hard not to repeat. Here's my take. They both have upsides and downsides as you have pointed out. I have done both. I would like to talk about the riding experience by itself. When all you have is one bike you gain the ability to "Wear" the bike. Meaning you gain an intimate relationship with the bike. You know it's limits as far as acceleration, handling and stopping. You have a muscle memory for that bike and that bike alone. Riding the bike becomes like wearing your best fitting clothes. The bike moves with you as if it was clothing. You are in many ways married to it. What a great feeling! Multip[e bikes gives you the ability to ride the bike that best meets your mental state at the moment you decide to ride or best fits in function. You have a need, pick the bike that fits that need. Beautiful! Here's the downside of having multiple bikes from what I have found. I find the idea of being able to wear any of them impossible. Never getting the muscle memory for each bike, being able to access that particular memory and apply it. Also, it's bad to let a machine sit. You may and will have a couple of favorites but be forced to ride a bike you aren't in the mood to ride just because it hasn't been run in a while. IMO
Dude epic reply here and you hit the nail on the head. I would say the Z gets 80% of the rides, so I’m starting to wear it. Now the Dyna that I have known for so long has become a stranger to me riding. Still has its purpose but not as confident with her as I used to be.
Your dream bike is NEVER your dream bike. After about a month it becomes like every other bike. So give me multiple bikes. SALUTE MY FRIEND. Another great vid
If I sold all of my bikes to just buy one. It would be the Harley Davidson Roadking Special. Like you, I would have more space in the garage. My running costs would be a lot less (rego insurance and repairs). But I would not be having as much fun either. There would be no more trail riding or track days.
I would probably do the fun fast bike, then the touring and road trip bike. Coming from having 4 cars at one point, I know that sometimes it can just be to much and some of the vehicles overlap with what they can do.
I think that’s the way to do it. I technically just have the three ish bikes and they don’t overlap much. I’d like a bagger for some longer adventures.
BIKES! It amazes me that's the first time I've seen a moto-vlogger use that clip 🤣. I'm pretty happy with my 19 RKS, it tools around town ok and does big miles well also... but variety is the spice of life 🤷♂️
Retail prices attempt to reflect the impression of high end or high quality in products however in reality this thinking can lead to many disappointments from expectations. To the starved egos in the market place branding and paying the highest prices is the importance while all with manufactures marketing strategist and Retailers pray on this understanding. Once upon a time a high cost delivered a high quality item but in today’s world I high cost is an illusion or a slight of hand or just a very large con for one of a better phrase. What truly denotes a quality item in today’s world can only be determined over time and not by cost because industries are in the market place to make a buck and as wide of a margin as possible.
I've done the multiple bike thing and would prefer just one. One of the newer (2018+) Heritage meets all my needs of comfort for longer distance and agility for fun around locally.
I have only been riding for 2 years and I prefer having two different motorcycles. One is an adventure bike that I can beat up and take off-road and my other is a pretty street machine that loves the twisties through the bluffs
I have a 2012 Kawasaki Vaquero, a 2014 Triumph Thunderbird Storm and a Harley 2018 Street Bob. I really want a Harley Low Rider ST. Sure, I could trade those 3 bikes in and walk away with an ST and a plethora of accessories, but I'm not going to. My Vaquero has a ton of custom audio that I love to ride long distance on. My Thunderbird is just a really fun bikes to ride and was left stock. My Street Bob is highly modified with a 5 gallon conversion tank and runs 150 HP and 155 Torque. She's my daily rider to and from work and for day rides under 500 miles. I can't imagine, no matter how much I want the ST, trading them in for 1 bike.
I made the mistake of having multiple bikes I have niether the time or effort left to ride them all or maintain them all are high end bikes I will be selling a few as soon as I figure which ones I can do without more than 2 are 2 many for me
LOL, while I'd love a CVO, I'd rather have multiple bikes... and the SGS was my dream bike anyway, so I'm good. That said, I ride my SGS about 100x more than my other bikes... so I'm considering selling the others. Also, GOOD GOSH! $25k/yr in day care??? We have 2 kids in day care for like half that... and I still think it's expensive!
@@ChopperFett Ahh, yeah, my wife wanted to sign our kids up for one of those kinds of places, but it was gonna be over $3k/month... and I just couldn't stomach that. Our current place is far cheaper, and works with them on reading and math and stuff in a playful manner, so they sort of get the school-age stuff before having to actually go to school. I actually have a video where I talk about being SUED by a prior daycare provider - it's worth a watch if you haven't seen it already.
Firstly I am so sorry Brett, I genuinely hadn't seen this video before I recorded mine last week which pretty much asked EXACTLY the same question 😔 (great minds think alike) I would have always gone for multiple bikes..... right up until you put the CVO up on screen, and that's my dream bike, and will always be a dream with that price tag 😭 Great video, and again I'm sorry for my video but I honestly hadn't watched this one yet 👍
Hahahah no reason to be sorry mate, we as motovloggers only have so much to talk about hahahah. It happens more than one would think. Appreciate ya brother, ride safe this weekend if able to ride!
I can only afford one right now, and it is not expensive. Which way would I have it? Probably multiple cheap motorcycles. Now I am only a few bikes away from having multiple. I would not mind having five to eight motorcycles at 3K to 6K each.
If I had the disposable income to own more than two bikes and two cars and pay the regos and insurance for such, which are exorbitant I would definitely have more bikes and more cars. Do you know anyone willing to share some of the lottery winnings? 😁
Aw, heck…no way man! I need a minimum of two bikes. It took me a while to figure out which two, but I think I finally did…Gold Wing and the scrambler are a sweet pair! Good topic!
Nice man!!! I think the Goldwing as disappeared like my Dyna lol
You know me, I want multiple. You can have different types for different rides or different days. I just need a bigger garage or get rid of some junk.
Make it happen man!!!
I would rather have more motorcycles than one expensive bike. My dream bike is an Aprilia v4, but the prices of it keeps the dream at bay. Right now I have 3 bikes. Two street ( 2017 GSX-R 750, 2020 GSX-S750 ) and one track bike ( 2011 GSX-R 750 ). Total cost ( without upgrades like suspension ) about 27k. A new Aprilia, about 26k. The plus side is, if I slide one across the pavement, I still have two others to ride. I have a buddy who spent a TON of money on getting his Ducati all set for racing, and the second race of the season, garagesaled it in turn 5. Now he can't afford to fix it, and his season is over.
That’s my biggest fear. Even with warranties there will still be substantial downtime.
I believe if I had that much money to spend on bikes, I’d most likely get 2. I just want a good tourer, and a good dirt road bike. Basically, what I have now. I spent $10,000.00 on the Wing, and $5,000.00 on the Strom. I ride both of them often, well worth the money for what I do with bikes!
That is the perfect set up for you man. Two very reliable bikes as well.
@@ChopperFett Thanks! They keep me pretty happy!!

Yea man daycare is ridiculous. We just got one kid into kindergarten and it should save us $800 a month lol
I think I'd have to do multiples as I would want ones that did different things. I think its an easy question for me as I don't have a "dream" bike but rather I like different bikes for what they can do...if that makes sense. Great question
For sure man. That’s why all my bikes feel a lot different from one another

HOWEVER, the real reason for my multiple bikes, goes back to the old saying "Variety is the Spice of Life" ! I love having a different experience to choose from every day I ride.
That’s exactly why I need seven motorcycles. One for each day of the week.
I don't think one bike would cut it for me since I like variety and functionality. The way I have my bikes set up, I have one for around town and one for more distance oriented riding and that's been working out. I'd love to add a 3rd but I'm gonna need to wait for a while before that lol.

I would take the 50 grand, build a garage, then buy multiple bikes!!
One Dream bike would be nice, but I would rather have multiple!!
Hahaha that’s taking the exercise outside the box lol
I only have time for one but I would love multiple🤣.
At least the one you got is a purrdy one
I only have time for one right now, but if I had the choice I would have multiple bikes. Prob one to ride long long distance and one from around town or local crusing. Two bikes would probably be the sweet spot for me. 😎🏍🏍. Good topic 🙂👍

I think if I had a more expensive bike like yours that might change my tone.
I'd love to have a garage full of bikes, but that aint happening, guess I'll stick to one bike for now.
As long as the one bike brings you all the joy you need there is nothing wrong with that.

@@ChopperFett OH Hubby has been trying to put the Harley in the living room and he got told no 🤣🤣 He said it's a work of art, a conversational piece lol!

Multiple bikes for me, which should come as no surprise. One for touring 2-up, one for playtime and one for off road. That’s the bare minimum 🤣
