I'd keep it, but that's me. I love this bike.
I wouldn't recommend "garage runs". They can do more harm than good, particularly with an air cooled engine. Short runs without bringing the bike up to normal operating temps will just dump moisture (byproduct of combustion) into the crankcase. If it's not going to be ridden for a long time, you're much better off properly prepping it for storage. Fresh oil, drain fuel system, drop some oil into the cylinders, pull battery, etc...
