I think you would be nuts to sell that bike for $8500...There are less than 500 of them in the country, some will be crashed, others left outside to the elements, abused or butchered into cafe or "customs". If Honda never brings them back, I predict that pristine deluxe models will hold their value well.
Just look at the Transalp, Hawk GT, CB-1, RC30, CBX, GB500, CT500 Turbo, and many other "weird, obscure" Hondas that were showroom failures in the U.S. and 20 years later are still selling for a large percentage, or much more, than their original MSRP.
Look how many here have mentioned looking for one or regret not getting one over the standard. I feel lucky to have found mine in like new condition.
