Should I sell my scooter?

Someone I know is interested in buying my scooter. Truthfully, I don’t use it much here in Vancouver – maybe a few times a month. But I do like that I have the option to use it, and it only costs me $15/month to insure (and only $6 to fill up the tank … which gets me 170-200km), so it’s not like it’s a financial burden.

I originally paid $2,200 for it (it had 34km on it, and brand new it sells for $3,600). Then, I put down $800 to upgrade it with a Stage 3 performance kit. So now instead of going 50km/hr, it goes upwards of 80-85km at top speed. That has a HUGE advantage over regular stock scooters, because I’m not afraid of being able to keep up with traffic now, which was a huge stress for me when I first got my scooter. Plus, it cuts down my commute time.

The scooter has about 9,600km on it. If I sold it, I would ask about $1,500 for it, because the upgrades were a custom job, and my scooter is currently one of the only scooters in the province (of this make) with these upgrades done to it.

I just don’t know if I can part with her. I love my scooter. And when I feel like it, I really do like riding it around. It’s fun! And it’s super loud (because of the upgrades), so it makes me feel cool when people hear the noise and expect a motorcycle, but it’s just little ol’ me. On my scooter. (Yes, I’m a nerd).

I’m just not sure if I’m utilizing it enough to justify keeping it.
