Re: Machines post about the Honda CX500
Randy,
If I were looking to sell that bike the first thing I would do is expand your range. I would put it on Craigslist for all the surrounding states and major cities. It’s a lot of work, but you’ve got a fairly rare bike and someone who really wants one , might be willing to travel to pick it up.
I would also join the forum that supports that bike and advertise there.

I share your concerns about shipping. I’ve bought three bikes from out of state, but only from dealerships.
As a last resort, you could consider dismantling and parting it out. The parts are probably worth much more than the whole. You have some very unique and probably hard to source parts on that bike. But it would take time to get your money.
Good luck buddy!
