Let's not forget the multiple lifts, obligatory HD signs hanging on the walls, polished floor and a bar for when the 'bros" come over. LOL. The funny part is that if I ever had the bucks that is exactly what I would have!

Need a lot more info to give truly useful advice.
I've used an 8x10 ziggler wooden shed many times over the years. Had one I built a counter shelf in with electrical outlets and still had enough room to slide it side to side on a bike jack and work on either side when necessary. I am a smaller guy though, might not be feasible if you're a big ol' boy. You can pick them up complete. Painted for a fee or paint it yourself. They'll even bring 'em out and drop 'em where you want 'em. I usually prep an area with solid cinder blocks, so the shed runners aren't sitting on dirt or they'll rot. I prefer to seal the roof to wall seam on the barn style ones with liquid nail, to keep the bugs out. Sometime a little extra work to seal the doors bug tight. I also drill a few holes in the upper rear area, that I cover with screen mesh panel you can buy at most hardware stores. That allows for better air circulation but you can still heat it up if you need to work in it because it's such a small space. Wooden floor is fine, just put a pan down under it, if it's an old shovel or you work on it and expect oil/fuel/fluids to drip.
I've got a 10x16 on the property right now with a bro's bike and trailer load of his tools, to store it safely while he's "on vacation." It's an fairly quick, easy and affordable option.
Then again... you have no area in your details, so you may or may not have ziggler hardware in your area. Perhaps you have a similar or equivalent supplier in your area. No idea.

I built a 6x8 shed to store my Road King and it barely fits. So go bigger than 8 feet and you should be good.
