Default Different Frame types?

Quick question.
How many diff frame styles are there in production right now?
This came up at work and if we don't resolve it we will argue the rest of the week.
This is my guess:

Softail
Dyna
Vrod
Sportster

Am I missing another?

The guys here are saying the touring bikes use the Dyna Frame. I wouldn't have believed that but maybe there are right.?!

Bet them 500.00, and then you can take me out to lunch.

The Touring models have a frame of their own with a three point rubber mount, that is considerably different than the Dyna Frame that uses a two point rubber mount.

Current frame configurations are:

Softail
Dyna
Touring
V-Rod
Sportster
