Default Advice on Price please, thinking of selling

I'm thinking of selling my bike as i've just started a new job and bought a new car so money is getting tight. My second reason is my SV has been a bit of a workhorse when it was my primary vehicle and is looking a little worn, so since im now a weekend rider i'll be after getting something shiny and clean for next summer.

The bike is a 99 SV650S in yellow.

Bad bits:

Front left fairing has some scratch damage from a spill last year,
Bar ends also have some scuffing,
bike has done over 32000 miles but i had to replace the speedo so it shows as less,
General dirt/minor rust as expected due to age and milleage,
I took the restrictors out last week and now the bike is a little smokey after a ride (going to get my local mechanic to sort it),
Front right indicator doesn't work( its just the wire, i'm going to replace the wire next weekend),

Good bits:

I have a full givi topbox kit fitted together with a givi 52litre topbox (could take off and sell seperately),
I've loved it and kept up on servicing (although not FSH and not done by me),
Set of new pilot road 2's on it.
Maglux tank protector,

By 'smoky' I take it you mean from the hot engine not the exhaust?

If it is the engine then it is simply one of the crankcase breathers was note re-attached to the airbox when it was replaced after removing restrictors ... 5 min fix

I'm going to hold off selling the topbox seperately until i'm sure that it wont be worth selling it with the bike.

But I wouldn't expect it to go too cheaply since its not that old.
