My dad and I bought our first bikes together. My dad has passed and I still have both of our bikes in my garage. His bike is a Honda VTX cruiser and mine is a 2006 R6 which has been a track bike for most of its life. In the last 5 years I have used my R6 for two trackdays... yes two. I can justify holding onto the cruiser since I ride it when I miss him and it can double as a backup street bike but I don't see track days in my future anymore.
I like seeing the two bikes together in my garage because it brings back memories of us riding to the sandwhich shop for lunch or viewing pictures from the racetrack and how my riding was progressing. We didn't have much in common but we always had the bikes (regardless how different they were). I'd like to get another bike I see myself riding more often (say a WR250R) but I'm afraid I will regret selling a bike I'm so attached to. I also feel if I wanted to get back into track/racing, I could easily buy an already setup (and newer) bike.
Should I sell/part-out my R6 or will it be one of those things I regret? I currently plan on holding onto his VTX forever.
