So true these cars are a money pit in a good way!

Lol thought this was appropriate. I feel ya tho... I am in the same boat but everytime I lay eyes on the bike... it's an instant nope, I'm keeping it.

You'll regret selling it. Honeymoon period lasts a long time for a car that ticks so many boxes, maybe not before winter comes by definitely by next summer you'll have one great weekend ride and be hooked again.

I can't imagine any car replacing the experience of even the least compelling bike. Except for maybe this:

Thanks for the input guys. Think I will keep it since its not really costing me anything at this point. Maybe I'll take it to work for the next couple days. There is something that a bike does for a person that a car can't replace. I just need to re-discover my love for motorcycles again. I used to do track days and builds all the time with them. Man do I miss track days, too.

I am in Seattle and I am still keeping one of my bike. Not going to sell it. Sorry wife!

Forgot to mention that bikes are incredibly cheap when you consider the smiles per mile efficiency. There may come a day when even an FRS sucks too much gas.

The FR-S, for what it is, is an incredible car to drive. Plus the weather elements no longer are a concern being tucked into a neat little coupe. Sell the bike and if down the road you decide you can't live without one, buy another. So many cars/bikes, so little time.

Yep, I'll add to this thought. Over the years I have "saved & stored" several vehicles ...... thinking I would use them again. It all started with a 1948 Chev coupe, then a 1970 MGB, then a 1956 Ford stepside PU a 1970 Honda 90 to name a few. I even thought of keeping my 2006 Miata to run around in on sunny days.

Well, guess what ...... all those fine vehicles NEVER got used again ...... they just "rotted" away ....

So, like whaap, I would suggest you sell the bike.

I've let bikes sit for a year or two at a time, but never considered pitching them all-together.
Only problem was gummed up carbs and cleaning a rack of 4.
Solved that by selling the carb bikes and getting injected ones. No worries other than keeping the batteries charged.

Yeah I would be sad panda without my bike

[OrangeJuleas]

I sold my 1993 CBR900RR to get my FRS. I was a little sad in the in-between period (didn't know what kind of car I would be getting yet), but after getting my new baby, I have never looked back.

I would consider getting another bike again at some point. I love riding motorcycles and the feeling is a lot different than a car, no matter the characteristics of either vehicle. However, half the fun is experiencing new things, so as much as I loved my previous bike, I'd be looking for something different to learn the ins and outs of. It's all part of the fun!

Just my two cents.

TL;DR: Sell the bike. Get another down the line if you need.

Could probably go for an excellent ride Christmas day around here, low traffic after all.
