What is an Honda XR650R worth these days?

[U-E]

Hi all,

I was about to advertise my recent acquirement but I am having a hard time figuring out a proper price to aim at or entertain offers at etc. Anyone practised in the valuation area or bought/sold similar? Its by no means urgent, but it needs a new home for whomever can use it or strip it eventually as I can't use it and its owner doesn't want it anymore (ergo I have it as payment for a lot of gardening).

Its effectively a barn find, Honda XR650R dry stored and covered for the last 7 years at least. Its in what I believe to be in decent condition overall for 17 years old. Well looked after in its time and owned by a careful retired gentleman.

2003 with Acerbis add-ons (tank, hand guards etc), and road use kit it would seem (mirrors, lights etc). Nice un-bashed' bash plate and 3789 kms on the clock. V5 present along with some receipts and MOT's (and tax discs).

It rolls fine, but no key as yet and I'm very carefully looking into getting it started again, maybe, but might leave that to the new owner (along with the many cobwebs). The wires were not attached to the key barrel and it would make sense that the barrel (with missing key) was part of the road kit, a later addition and not entirely needed?

Oil is 'like new' clean, as is the coolant and spark plug. To me, it seems pretty darn tidy (and not off-road'ed) and looks a nice big swanky bike for those who dig the Enduro types.

I will try and add some pictures. If anyone has any sensible ideas on a rough ball park figure to aim for, it would really help as bikes not my domain and prices seem to vary a lot on the XR's (and 650cc ones seem to be more rare.

Many thanks!

PS) Got 4 tyres x2 road and x2 knobbly's with it too, could sell them separately I guess.

Advertising by stealth?

This bike is from the early 2000s - it will be some time before it's the stuff of this:

Just stick it on Ebay as a project with no reserve. You should get a decent price at this time of the year.

You're probably right about key. Most owners needed them to be outside the garage after paying for petrol and fitted an ignition to help slow the theif down.
The last one I saw for sale was 4k.

Thanks everyone

I might invest time and a few pennies to get it started. It was faultless before being stashed away, so maybe a bit of careful (very careful) going over and I might be lucky and find the reason for not firing. Maybe the cdi or coil is dead, might just be a wire out somewhere.

Really appreciate the feedback - I spent hours googling and ebay searching to get some ball park figure on the 650s when so few are for sale at the moment.

In Brief
You're not into bikes, know very little about them, have little interest in them
and basically just want to turn it into money and reckon if you can get it running it will fetch more dosh.
OK?
As you know little about bikes, I suggest you
Leave it alone or you might feck it up.
Take good pics, advertise it accurately and honestly and attract offers
A long Ebay listing with a phone number (so you can get off bay offers) is a common ploy.
You can always pull it before the listing ends.
Do you have a v5 in your name?
While not ultimate proof of ownership, a V5 does suggest
it aint not nicked nor nuffin.

this thread should be in Bikes for sale

Stick it on ebay with an honest description. Projects bikes are selling at the moment. It will either do really well or really poorly, but don't expect £4k. It doesn't work.
