$7k would be pushing it for and older SE. An SP maybe. The paint scheme is not very desirable. I would much rather have a Repsol or Rothmans, or any other paint scheme for that matter. I learned the hard way that its just easier to buy exactly what you want rather than try to fix it up. If I was there (bay area) I'd try to talk it down to $6k which is all its really worth to me right now. But that's not to say its not worth $6,500.The true test would be just to put it on ebay at no reserve and see what its really worth. If an NC30 can bring $9,300 and a MC28 Repsol $9,800, this bike should do OK. Sellers that are willing to put thier item up on ebay at no reserve are seen as sellers that are more interested in selling than sqweezing out every last dollar. I think buyers see this as a good thing and items that sell without reserve often sell for much more than if they had a reserve. But of course it is a risk for the seller.
