Every condo is different and have different rules. As long as you are within the lines of that parking spot and not going outside the boundary of the space provided for your unit I would ask the board to show you in writing where it says one vehicle per space only. If they can't then they have no right to force you to remove the motorcycle until they have a meeting and amend their bylaws to specifically state only one vehicle per space.
I would also be an a**hole and obtain a copy of the bylaws if you haven't already received one when you moved in. I would then go around and note every infraction I saw and complain to the board to have it rectified. Maybe they'd get sick of hearing from you and leave you alone.
Before you go off on a legal tangent make sure you know your enemy and your rights. Think twice before trying to sue a lawyer. If the rest of the owners are retirees don't expect the same consideration as a building with a young demographic.
First of all are you an owner or a tenant? Tenants have virtually no rights with respect to asking the PM to do anything. The tenant would have to go through the owner who may not care about your parking problem.
Be aware that your parking spot is common element as is your balcony. You just have exclusive use of that piece of concrete.
Be aware of the differences between declarations, rules and regulations, condominium bylaws and condominium policies.

Important concepts that condominium owners should know are:
declaration and description
by-laws
rules
policies
Declaration and description
The declaration and description are the legal documents that create a condominium corporation. The declarant (developer or builder) prepares these documents and files them in the land registry office. This process is referred to as registering the condominium.
The declaration includes information, such as:
The street address of the condominium.
The mailing address of the condominium, if it is different from the street address.
How much each unit will pay for common expenses, expressed as a percentage of the total budget.
Which parts of the building will be exclusive use common elements, like balconies.
The description provides:
A survey showing the boundaries of the property;
A description of all the elements and assets that are included in the property.
Diagrams showing the shape and dimensions of each unit.
A description of what is included as part of each unit. For example, a condo unit may not include a front door. The front door may be a common element, which would prevent the owner from painting it a different colour.
The declaration and description can only be changed if over 80% of the owners agrees to this change. For example, if there are 100 units in the condominium, over 80 owners, depending on what the amendment deals with, would need to agree to a change.
By-laws to govern how the corporation is run
By-laws describe how the condominium corporation is to govern itself. By-laws can deal with a wide range of matters, such as:
how directors are elected
how common expenses are assessed and collected
when/how the condominium can borrow money
maintenance of common elements and units
By-laws must be reasonable and consistent with the Act and declaration. The condominium board of directors can make, amend, or repeal by-laws, and owners can provide input.
By-laws do not come into force until they are:
Approved by a majority of owners at a meeting called for the purpose. The requirement for a majority can be changed by regulation under the Act.
Registered in the land registry office.
Rules - helping owners get along with one another
Rules promote everyone's safety, security, and welfare. They help ensure all owners can enjoy living in their condominium and protects your property and the condominium's assets.
For example, rules can:
Restrict the use visitors make of common elements.
Prevent owners from renting out their units for short periods of time.
Limit the number or size of pets allowed in the building.
The condominium board of directors can make, amend or repeal a rule. Rules must be consistent with the Act and declaration.
When changing rules, the board must:
Notify owners about any changes they want to make before those changes become effective.
Provide all owners with written notice of the rule at least 30 days before it becomes effective.
Owners who do not like the rule can act to change it or stop it from becoming effective. For instance, an owner can request an owners' meeting.
Policies - everyday rules to guide the condominium
The Condominium Act specifies which issues require a by-law. But some governance issues do not need to be in a by-law, nor do they need to become rules. Therefore, the board may prepare policies to address such issues.
For example, the board may establish a policy regarding contracts. This policy might require the board to get three quotes before awarding a contract, helping ensure the condominium gets the right deal.
Owners are not directly affected by policies. End Quote
Specifically permitted or specifically banned.
In medicine, generally speaking, you can't do anything unless it is specifically permitted.
On the street you can do just about anything unless it is specifically banned. Many bans are covered by general terms ie vandalism. lewd behavior etc.
Has the OP read the R&R's, bylaws etc to see if the above issues have been covered? If it's a bylaw issue and it goes against you you could get the second vehicle booted in 30 days.
any other ideas??
