Looks like our 2004 model.

We bought the same bike not-running with 250 mi about 5 years ago for $750. One broken turn signal, but otherwise in EX cond. Needed carb cleaning, fluids changed, other misc maintenance, and tires.

A lot of "what it's worth" is how much you can do yourself (as Danno suggested).

If you take it to a shop and say "fix it" it's going to cost a bunch.

If I were buying it as it sits, I'd probably pay about $500. Most likely it's going to need a fair amount of maintenance and there will be some not so obvious things than will need replacing or fixing (chain/sprockets, carb cleaning, tank cleaning/de-rusting, etc).
