At one stage I had five motorcycles. An offroader, a supermoto, an NC, a big tourer and a classic. I now have three because I got fed up of maintaining them all, and one or two were not getting used enough.
One is a Triumph 1200 Explorer. It is a good two up touring bike and every year we do a trip abroad on it and several long trips at home. Since April 2013 it has 45,000kms on it. For me, neither of the other two fulfill that requirement as well as the Triumph. The Africa Twin replaced my NC as an overall runabout. It gets used for everything other than two up touring. Since purchase in May this year it has 9000kms on it. The third bike is an 89 Dominator that is used solely for classic events run by my Veteran and Vintage motorcycle club. It has very low mileage on it at 11,000 miles over 27 years. I rack up about 500 miles per annum on it since purchase in September 2013.
So, they have their uses and indeed are getting used. I may add back on a 250 offroader shortly as I am still interested in that aspect of motorcycling. I may or may not part with the Dominator to fund that.
