Assuming you winterized it meticulously (fogged cylinders, changed oil, stabilized gas, etc) maybe it won't be too bad, but even then I'd still run it as much as you can before winterizing again. There are parts of the engine that can only be lubricated by running it. Fuel pump, gas tank, plugs, battery, would all be suspect with a year and a half of being laid up.
Treat it like an investment and maintain it. Running it regularly is part of maintaining it. If you absolutely can't then sell it.
