I'd say go for it. They are becoming more and more scarce.

Things to keep in mind: (some mentioned already)

The bike is 7 years old. Having "only" 2500 miles on it is not necessarily a good thing.
You will need to run some carb cleaner through it for sure.
Check the bottom of the bike (and chain) for rust.
You will certainly need a new battery soon.
You will probably need new tires soon too; after 7 years they will be stiff and hard, useable but not good.

Be SURE that you, or someone you trust, takes it for a test ride of at least 10 minutes or so.

He will probably be able to get $2000. You just have to decide if it will be from you or not.
