I considered the option of total breakdown and that's one of the reasons why I never got a more expensive motorcycle. My bike costs just over 1000$ (BMW F650 1993) so if it really breaks down and the repair would a multiplication of this amount, I would probably offer the bike for free to some local person in need of new means of transport. I would get rid of the problem and the bike would probably got fixed with time and be of benefit to somebody for many years.
Only two consideration here: - Is it environmentally friendly to dump bikes in foreign countries?
- Not all countries would allow me to leave without my bike.
Anyway, it's a consideration.
