Really, I could do with a light quick bike as well as the Cali 1400. But I rarely do "short" trips, living in the middle of nowhere. However, the fleet at the moment is:

Cali 1400
VStrom DL1000 - mainly for use by my SO when she gets more comfy with power.
Suzuki VL800 cruiser - only retained because it's evidence in a lawsuit. Nice bike
VStar 250 for my SO
Lincoln LS - probably needs to go, very old now
BMW 318i - runs perfectly, 1996, just needs cosmetic restoration
1991 Ranger pickup - bought new, now in farm use
2004 Chevy Cavalier - SO's car. For some reason she uses the Lincoln . . . .
GT mountain bike for my SO
2006 Wilier Thor carbon bike, with mostly Dura Ace

I keep thinking an EX500 or whatever they are called now would be a great bang-around machine.

Norge is my country bike. Nearly as much fun is my Honda S90. 1968, 18,000 miles. All original, with faded tank. Great for around town and short trips. Gets up to 60 mph if I'm lucky.

I picked this up a few weeks ago:

I haven't had this much fun on a bike in a long time. There's a lot to be said for something smaller and lighter.

The garage is packed with XS Yamahas, but this is the only one I'm currently riding.

It had to have some work done to the frame because at some point in its life the rear loop was cut off for racing purposes and when I had it re-attached about 15 years ago they made it a half inch too short which caused some problems. The rear fender couldn't be attached without some rube type connection. Unfortunately I didn't catch it until after it was repainted.

So it is fixed and primed so I just need to put the final coat on and start putting it back together.

My El Camino shelf? I've had it for eighteen years and only driven it. I made a handshake deal to sell it just the other day. PM me if you want to get in line if the deal falls through.

I don't have an 'other' scoot. Each gets it's turn. It depends on my mood and the nature/function of the ride.

But for some boring reason, they're all the same brand.

Triumph tiger 800. Great for commuting!

Depends on the day and my current mood:

Ride each one at least once a month.

I get to rotate thru every day as long as weather permits. Luckily only rains or snows here about 10 days a year.
