Sorry about the situation, hope you're mending.
Without knowing what bike it is, the likely value if a runner, emotional attachment etc, I'm certainly tending towards what others say and take the money, draw a line under it.
With any sort of physical impairment, recovering injury or discomfort etc, the easiest bikes to get on with will always be a sit-up-and-beg type, either a naked traditional style or a sport/tourer type. Also from what certain friends have said and done simply due to getting older and less strong, weight is going to be a really important factor. There are plenty of light upright modern middle-weight bikes which are truly excellent machines, from CB500 to Tracers etc.
