i have a cb400t2 as well with an origional 9000 miles on it. i actually think that it suffers from the low mileage. i bought it for 350 dollars. no paint fade at all. but, the head gasket leaked and the brakes squeaked and the front and rear shocks leaked. once i fixed all of the issues incl. the origional tyres, the bike really performed well. good accel. for the size and very well balanced. feel free to e mail me with any q´s.
