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...
Better to ride every week or 2 for 45 min. And imho, you've already taken the big depreciation hit so the drop in value in the next year or so will be less so you might as well hang on to it, unless want something different. In that case sell it now and use the money to buy later when you can ride regularly. You might fancy something else by then.
