Should I sell my car and keep my bike?

I have two vehicles; a 1993 Ford Probe GT in great condition with only 57,500 original miles on it. And I just got a 1998 Yamaha FZR600 with 23,400 miles I've had the bike for a little over a week and its off to a bad start it has mechanical problems and my friend dropped it on the left side during a test drive ruining the whole appearance of the whole bike. So now my bike has mechanical and cosmetic issues. But i like motorcycles way more than cars but how would I get by if its raining or snowing? I like my car it has been very dependable for the last two and a half years that I had it, but its behind on maintenance, its going to need brakes, oil change, clutch, struts. I am thinking if I sell my car I would get my beat up bike like new again and I'll have left over money for first month's rent. But I honestly don't want to sell my car but I can't have both I gotta choose one. So what do you all think?car or street bike?Should I sell my car and keep my bike?
Me - I keep my bike, always.

But, I'm in a different situation.

You should dump the problem bike and keep the reliable car.

For now, at least.



Later, when you don't have to worry about rent (first, last, or otherwise) get yourself another bike.Should I sell my car and keep my bike?
I'd go with the car for sure. It's a whole lot safer, you have more room for people, more room for whatever, and like you said... weather issues. If your car is giving you too much trouble, you could maybe upgrade to a better car with the money you get from selling your bike.Should I sell my car and keep my bike?
id rather have the bike but it just wont work out because of weather, u gotta have a carShould I sell my car and keep my bike?
put you bike on hold and get your car fixed and in a month or so once you get your car up to par then you move onto your bike and fix it up.dont sell any of your things because if you wait you can keep them all if you really think about it.Should I sell my car and keep my bike?
It really depends on where you live. How much snow do you get? Is it raining a lot?



I'd stick with the car. I love bikes but don't forget about when you buy something. It doesn't even have to be big! How will yu get it home without a car?



Also how long have you been riding? I've been riding a few years and I have to say that I've thought about dropping my car and living with just the bike. I even tested it out for a month over the summer last year, leaving the car at home and taking hte bike everywhere. It was really annoying when I had to do errands, a normal 1 hour errand trip that stopped at 3 stores became and ordeal as I had to go home between each stop and couldn't get what i needed every time because I couldnt fit it on the back.
