Well life isn't as simple as many people seem to think it is. If you sell it you may never get together the means to buy another, something else may always take priority for that money. If you cant afford to run it sorn it and put it away, assuming of course you own it outright and its not on finance. Very easy for people to shout don't sell your bike, but they are not living in your reality, it seems obvious to me that if it is on finance or a choice between owning a bike and feeding you kids or paying your heating bill then you have to sell it, but for as long as you can hold onto it and keep the wolf from the door as well, then keep it. Only you really know the correct answer.
