Your question is the same as mine mate ..sell it , keep it or.....H mmmm
Wow! That would be something to see!
With mine, I was becoming so reluctant to ride - as I've kept it so good for so long and didn't want to risk anything. When I really thought about it, I was doing a large part of the reason for doing that was to keep it pristine for resale - in other words, selling was always at the back of my mind.
I guess if you answer the question of why you haven't ridden it for so long, it may help you decide which way to go.

What type of model makes a big different in the demand department 
I had a Suzuki GSX-R which I only done 1500km from new in 7 years ,
Didn't get a great deal difference 
Had a beautiful mint Katana 1100 & they were coming at me from all directions

Yeah, I think the Busa is more like your GSX-R - it ain't quite there yet. Maybe in another 15 years It'll be like the Katana!?

That's awesome!
Honestly, I have no idea what I'd do if it were mine. That's a real trophy bike!

Checked with my mate today, evidently the trailer was originally born as one of those little bubble caravans and first reg in 1960 ...must have been a special thing when you hooked it up behind your brand new EK Holden back then. Currently running wheels from a Standard Vanguard from the same era , tyres are a little hard to come by now - check out the mahoola leaf springs. Ironically the car towing it is a Mitsi 380 , another machine they don't make any more ...which is a bit of a shame for Mitsubishi I guess, end of an era too.
I'll keep the Honda though :-)
