    Thanks to everyone for the input. After reading your responses I decided to keep the bike because we are in a good financial position right now and I have too much fun on the bike!

    I did list my bike on a local classified website for a few days to test the market. After a few days I mostly got texts/emails asking if I would trade it for various things like snowmobiles, other bikes, etc. All of which I don't need/want. I was asking $2,200 when I decided to keep the bike and take down the classified ad.

    The day after I took the bike down I received 3 emails all asking if it had sold or if it was still available. I responded by saying I decided to hold onto it and not sell it. One of the guys even offered me $2,500 for the bike! This was a tough offer to pass on but I already made up my mind and I was feeling good about keeping it.

    I think it is a relatively inexpensive hobby that is both a good stress release and form of exercise. Thanks again for the input and helping me keep things in perspective.
