I'd be patient that bike is worth a bit more than $2500. Try your local Craigslist, take more and better pictures like in a motorcycle magazine and write it up like a salesman. Here's an example of when I sold my XR650R. The puffery here is actually mild compared to other ads I've run:
You're looking at a totally unique XR650R suitable for on or offroad. It's setup beautifully for street ridng but has
been successfully run offroad on sand, steep hills and through mud. This bike can do it all! Don't confuse an XR650R with a Honda XR650L. The L model is air cooled, heavy and slow. Honda designed the XR650R to be an off road only racing machine so it is water cooled, light and fast. I got the bike through Maryland Inspection last spring and it is currently tagged. It may well be the only street legal XR650R in the state. XR650R's have won many major offroad endurance races around the world due to their 290 lb weight and 50HP motor. It was manufactured from 2000 - 2007 and there were almost no changes during the model run. The bike runs beautifully with excellent throttle response. I've put about 1500 street miles on it and 20 or so offroad. It has accumulated 11,000 total miles. This XR will handily defeat a liter bike on a tight road yet can stay with anything offroad while running the engine barely above idle. With the current gearing it tops out at 98 and cruises at 80.
