My ICE bikes also see very few miles any more.

I hang onto my XT1200Z for any adventure touring that might come up. It's the go-to bike for any type of group ride with ICE bikes (never less than 130 miles, and up to thousands). One can't bring an electric to an ICE bike group ride and expect to participate like a respectable friend.

I hang onto my 500EXC because the FX won't do the distance of any dirt ride I go on, and frankly, I don't feel like slamming the beautiful thing down repeatedly, wiping it back and forth on surfaces of dirt and rock.
