Depends on how many different things you want!

If you live in a flat place and don't want to ride long distances or on rough trails, and just want to ride around town doing errands... then one bike can do all that.
If you live in a hilly area, don't care about speed, and like to ride rough fire roads and wooded mountainous trails, then you can have one bike that does it all for you.
If you only want to go super fast on only paved roads, then one bike could do it all for you.

For myself- I only need to go medium fast, do occasional long distance riding in comfort, and be able to go over rough gravel roads as well. My bike does all that for me.
My next bike will do the same things....because that's just the kind of riding i do!
