I understand where you are coming from but putting it in the living room (or even garage) and keeping it forever for me is not a good idea - it spoils the memory of the trip, giving me guilt feelings for its current non use rather than pleasant flashbacks. Personally I know of several ex-travel bikes in that situation, bikes that are gently decaying, probably never to go back on the road again
Maybe a middle road between an open market sale and keeping it, is to sell it at a budget price (or even give it away) to a young traveler who is poor but has dreams. That way it can live longer for its intended purpose and maybe you could share the new adventures. Just a thought.
