I am going to change out my brake fluid to the Motul RBF600 and just wondering on how much I should get.

Do you all think one pint will do the Front brake, rear brake, and clutch?

or should I get 2?

Yesterday I rebuilt my front caliper, and dumped out all the old fluid. I had one 500ml bottle of the RBF600, and had plenty to do that, including knocking over the bottle and losing a couple ounces. It should be plenty to do the front and rear brake, I am not aware of how much fluid the clutch needs.

One bottle will easily do the whole bike.

BTW, I don't really like RBF600 for the clutch. I find plain 'ol DOT4 from AutoZone to last a bit longer and not get as foul so fast.
