...seems like I'm forgetting something here...
I always get a kick out of the best and worst bikes. Not a whole lot of worst though. I don't remember owing a bike that I disliked.
Maybe add 1 more....how many wives as well...18 bikes 3 wives...LOL..
If you've owned a lot of bikes but stuck it out with 1 wife ?

1970's-teenager..my step dad was all too happy to buy me motorcycles probably thinking I'd kill myself eventually
JAWA-wrecked and sold
Rokon-traded for a VW bug (I think)
CZ-totaled...jumped with little brother on back and frame collapsed at steering column when we reconnected with Terra Firma. No helmets, no gear just jeans and t-shirts. We walked away
Benelli...left it at home when I moved out and little brother trashed it
1980-2008 Zilch...busy making a living
2009-KLR-did everything well but nothing spectacular. As reliable as an anvil
2014-Guzzi V7R and CB1100

RE: How many bikes have you owned. - Bike #12_imp - 04-10-2016
Even dozen for me so far... My excellent 2013 Honda CB1100. Prior bikes include the BMW XMoto, Suzuki SV1000S, Honda 919, BMW XChallenge, Honda FT500, Suzuki GS650E, Yamaha XT500, Kawasaki 500 H1, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki TM125, Suzuki TS100. I would enjoy riding another Thumper like the 2016 KTM 690 Duke. Someday I would like to also own a used Hayabusa to tinker around with.

The only bikes that I ever bought new were my first four, the 1981 BMW and the CB1100. The ones that I regret selling were...just about all of them, but I really regret selling the BMW R80 GS (73,000 miles). I gave the ATK away to a neighbor after riding it about 40,000 miles. It ran great even then.
Most fun bike...1979 SR500
Most "gotta keep it" bike (other than the CB...SR500)

Haystack, I love the SR500. A beautiful machine. If you have time, a photo or two would be great.
