They are great little bikes - my son had the "gull arm" model - pulled like a train and revved like a demented cicada beetle 
Top speed is around 130MPH + believe it or not.
Spares in the US won't be easy to find - to my knowledge they were not imported into the US by Honda so any that show up are "grey imports. Honda US don't keep spares. $2500 seems a bit steep for that reason.
The biggest issue with the 400RR is maintenance - they need it to be done PROPERLY.
If both bikes run, OK, if not I wouldn't be too keen.
For that money you can buy 2 CBR1000F's in the US and they will be running, and there are plenty of spares........
Hope this helps.

That is a very relative question Nutty...
If you are where I am assuming you are , in the states ?? well then , hey you need to make sure both of those little babies are ready to go without emptying your pockets of cash into them ???
You can as the man in the shadows said, get a dam good 1000 or two ordinary ones running for that these days .... so again , your question is relative to what you are really after I spose ??
First question - do you want or need 2 - 400's ?
Second question - do they need money spent on them as well ?
Third question - wtf are you going to do with them ??? lolol
good luck with the deal if you go through with it .... and I hope it all works out well for you no matter what you decide to do ...

tbh, the philippines have a LOT of parts for those little bikes. im sure if you needed a distributor or craigslist type deal you could source some parts from there. if the bikes are in great condition (not counting paint or scratches).. are you wanting them just to have or or resale value? in great condition im sure you could squeeze out $1500 each to the right buyers

well guys its not for me, my co worker is planning to buy it.. heres the seller's ad:
88 and 89 CBR400rr Japanese spec - $3000 (anchorage)
No it isn't a typo. This is CBR400rr japanese spec motorcycle, and i'm letting them both go for $3000 O.B.O. (we agree on it, its yours and add is pulled, I don't play the someone else called with a higher offer game). The bike has 20872 kilometers or 12970 miles on it. It's seat hight and weight make it a fun and easy bike to handle and to learn on, this is the bike my wife learned to ride with. As it has moved from here to there a couple times and being a little older it's a little rough around the edges but still a good looking bike. It's been kept in the garage especially here in alaska and does get periodically ran durring the winter. It will need a new battery though. I did say 88 & 89, there is a second bike that is stripped down completely although I do not have fairings or the front forks or front wheel for it. Both bike and spare frame are registered. If you'd like to have two running bikes just assemble the other one with early cbr600 front parts.
If you'd like more info just email or call 907-602-**** and ask for steve

...the japanese spec part has me curious, but i think 3 grand is a bit much for a cbr400(RR?) thats been thru some rough times. yeah youre getting a frame that IS registered but.. when you go to get current registration after building it back up youre looking to throw another $300 on top for the $3000 purchase price.
tough decision bro.. any pix?

Well one of those bike is ready to run according to him, and the other is good for parts etc..
