If it's as good as it looks, I reckon $3500 is a fair price.
Nearly bought one in 1982............ but already had 2 other new Hondas, so I bought a 250 for the cheap rego............  :-\

The XR sat on that bloody rock up at his house for years. I'm pretty sure Geoff never rode it. He didn't have a very high opinion of XRs anyway. The bike wasn't a part of the GE collection that was auctioned off and it remained at the house for a while after GE passed until Vicki passed it on to Geoffs brother Porky. At least I think that's what happened to it. I can't believe it's been fifteen years.......it seems like yesterday.
