To sell or not to sell?

So I'm upta Camp doing some work, and on our way through a small town We come across a couple of old bike for sale. I immediate pull in to check them out and lo and behold: A BSA chopper ala Easy Rider style and a Dnepr (Ukrainian version of a Ural)
I called the number just to find out what it was (a Dnepr?????) and get a price. It wasn't outrageous after I did some research.
Problem is, I would have to part with one of my other bikes, and since the Roadstar Custom isn't moving (not trying to hard either) I'm thinking of selling my FZ6R. I use the FZ as my commuter in good weather, but take the wing if its questionable. I guess what I'm asking is - "Somebody talk me out of it!"

Those will end up being tinker toys as much as you will have to work and upkeep them probably... The FZ is bulletproof good fun. I really would not myself.

Well, you can still buy a Dnepr. It just looks old. Based on the Ural which was based on the BMW the Russians shamelessly copied as payback after the Germans bashed the crap out of their country in WWII. I doubt they would have lost any sleep if it had put the Bavaria Motor Works company out of business permanently.

What year was it ?

I was planning on hitting this place up, just to see one of these bikes after a recent ride on the twisties above Rockingham, NC. I got lost (I do that a lot) and didn't make it.

I'm not even contemplating buying one. I just wanted to see it. It's fun to have a tinker toy everyone oohs over, though I certainly wouldn't sell a great bike just to get a conversation piece.
