If you are counting all the field bikes and stuff then when I was youngster I had ( or rather we had - about 5 of us in our village pooled resources to buy beg borrow but never steal) .....
About a dozen Honda C50/70/90s. These were stripped down and almost indestructible.
A James 150 (real shame we killed that one),
Yamaha DT100 with a filed nail for a carb jet,
Lambretta 200 - rubbish off road but could carry all 5 of us),
3xCG125 (very very tough bike). There's more. All the bikes were knackered really and heading for the breakers but we would strip them, bodge them and get them going and raced around a sand quarry in the village and across fields and farm tracks. No one ever tried to stop us. We also tried a few cars but they always properly broke after a few outings.
