Question Broken Wrist -> Sell New Bike?

I wonder what the brain trust thinks of this one. My instinct is to hold onto bikes forever, but since this bike is as close to new as you can get I wonder if selling it would be a better move since trail riding will not be happening for 6 months, and by then there will be next year’s bikes out.

Very wary of depreciation, I finally bought a brand new 2019 FS mountain bike only to find myself with a career opportunity that would mean 5 months of not riding. I got a great deal, so fine. No big deal right?

An unexpectedly eventful summer had me only ride it twice, and now I’ve broken my wrist in a cross race.

Sell for 60% of retail now? Don’t worry about it because all bike technology changes yearly whether it needs to it not and just shut up and ride the bike in June? ATMO hot dog?
