Streetbudgie - have you considered stripping your bike down and selling for Parts?
With the money you make from doing this, you could have a substantial sum, to put towards another bike?
The sentimental value does decrease, once you start shifting parts and seeing the cash in your bank account (I've been there myself).

Could even sell the bike as it is, complete, yet with an engine that requires attention or replacement (if you don't have the time/space to strip it yourself).
That is, if the prospect of sourcing and fitting a new engine is out of the question for whatever reason(s).
