Don't sell it...

Your going to take a brutal price hit because of the time of year it is, I know I just sold my gixxer and i lost a fair bit of money and i can't even sell my R6 and its priced lower than i wanted to go...

I know it REALLY sucks having a bike sit in the garage all winter, especially when your in chicago and you can't ride again till april. Its depressing. But unless you don't care about loosing money its not worthwhile to sell it now, terrible time of year.

If your hearts not in it, selling may be the best thing for you. You are going ot get hurt selling in off season sorry to say. But getting back to the thought of getting out, listen to your conscious... it may be trying to tell you something. there will always be bike to ride

just keep it man. from my own experience, trying to sell a bike during the fall/winter can be a bitch. you'll get a bunch of lowball offers. plus, i don't think you wanna go through the stress of looking for another bike come summer time. i say just keep your bike, and you'll be thankful you did come april.
