On my daily commute to and from work, I would say I see 3-10 other bikes on the road. They could be anything, but it's usually some kind of cruiser (HD, Honda VTX, Kawasaki Meanstreak kinda bikes), or random crotch-rocket bikes. (Sometimes a Yamaha R6, Kawasaki Ninja zx-6r, or other Honda models, like the 600rr or f4i) You'll have to be more specific in your questioning if you want something else as an answer. (On friday and Saturday nights I can see upwards of 50 bikes out cruising or more, all kinds, including at least one Aprilla and one Agusta)

i usually see 20+ bikes just on my 17 mile drive each way from work....but you have to take into account that my city has like 6-8 million people in it.....with that in mind its a relatively small percent....
most are yamaha's for sosme reason around my neck of the woods...

I see every type of bike. I do see a lot of sport bikes, I have several that live around me so that's kind of cheating. I see full dressers all day long as transpertation for work and so on. Same a sport bikes.

On my way to work today.
GSXR 1000, SV 650 I think, HD full dresser. CBR F4i.HD sporster 1200I think,then in a pack CBR 1000rr X 5, CBR 600 rr, R1 X 2 and a Aprila I know them so I know the bikes. then my CBR 954rr I guess that counts.
We are having very warm weather for this time of year in CHi town so we are all out on the bikes

Why do you want to know this? The number of models that have been sold in the US probably runs into the thousands. You could try Kelly Blue Book's website. They probably list most of the models that have been sold in the US for the last 25 or 30 years or so.

some days at work there's 4 or more bikes on the lot
my 06 f4i ,an 01 f4i, 06 rr and a mean streak

on the way just depends on how nice it is outside
if i ride the highway i usually see a bunch of gold wings and various other cruisers
scenic route gives more sport bikes with one occasional rc51 i drool over
