If you have the frame number and receipt for it, go to the police, explain the current position and ask that they recover your stolen property. (It will speed things up if you have the original crime reference.) Emphasise that it is currently advertised for sale and could disappear at any time so you'd appreciate immediate help to secure your bike.
If they can't do anything quickly enough for you, explain to them you are going to see the bike as a potential buyer and will, if you feel it safe, ride off with it.
The current possessor has no title to it, good faith purchase or not, so I wouldn't be buying it back or making any sort of offer. It's yours and the law supports you, not the person who now has it.
