I wish I never sold any of my past bikes as I would love to still have my ‘80s CR80s, ‘90s CR125s, ‘00s YZs ..etc. (back then I needed the money to buy the next bike).

I am now keeping every bike I own for now on..forever..
I hear ya on this one... I am 50+.... and looking back, I could have worked a bit harder and kept all my old bikes.... and now, I wish I would have...

Young guys.... if u have the means, park those old bikes instead of selling....

Sad truth - 2-3 rides a month is probably above average for most vet riders. If you can afford it I'd keep it.
I wish I had time to ride 2-3 times a month!

Time for a YZ250. Bike stays relevant because they don’t keep upgrading it. Sounds like a two stroke buying situation. Keep it and ride as little or as much as you want. This way you can still say you ride dirt bikes

I bought a 110 last year after wanting one for years. I haven’t ridden it much at all, but I know if I sell it, the chances of me getting another regardless of availability are slim. I’ll hold onto it for a bit longer.

If you do decide to sell, make sure you keep your riding gear. I don’t know how many times I ebayed perfectly good gear thinking I was done and then had to buy mew stuff down the road.
