Default Buy a new bike?

Hello i have already put up a post about if i get a new bike should i get a 600rr or a 1000rr. And i prolly should have asked this question first but i was woundering if i should even get a new bike? I have a 2001 f4i with 19500 miles and it runs fine and i dont need more power cuz this bike is alot of fun. So i was woundering if i should sell it now and get what money i can get for it now or just keep it until it starts to fall apart? It is my first bike and i have only been riding for a little less tan 3 months and i havent crashed yet but i know i am a young rider and have a good chance of putting a bike down. And since i live in minnesota i dont get to ride year round and i have already been working on wheelies not using the clutch but just throttle and i want to keep working on them which just increases my chances of crashing but i was just woundering if i should kep the bike or chance buying a new one and crashing it?

if your happy with it. keep it. Especially since your trying wheelies and stuff. Save your money for a rainy day or for repairs

Same dilemma except it was a k7 gsxr1000 and no stunting. I had my bike for 2 years and decided to buy the gixxer. Now I gotta figure out what to do with the f4i.

Riding less than 3 months? Keep your bike and learn it before you think of getting a new one.

Id say prob keep the F4i, your a fairly new rider, and are practing wheelies etc? ride her for 1 more summer, then decide. I had my F4i for 2 yrs, now have an 07' ( although its sitting cold in the garage) damn Canadian winters
