I suspect another factor is that there are a lot of 400s in the market to choose from as they are a popular bike.

I have also seen it with property, mainly bungalows near me Ted. People pop their clogs and then you suddenly find they have far flung children who materialize. They price the property really low to get rid with minimal hassle/upset/having to constantly travel the long distances and the property sells almost instantly for far less than it's really worth.
I guess a deceased bike is a reminder of their loved ones and the sight of it upsets them quite often Or the reverse happens where they can't bear to ever part with it and it lies unloved for decades.

It's interesting that due to modern planning rules new bungalows in our area are just not being built in any volume, the few new developments that are building them appear to be OTT pricewise.
I have attribited some of the quite low prices on local bungalows due to them not having been brought up to date often needing new kitchens, bathrooms, old boilers complemented by asbestos roofed concrete pre-fab garages.
I don't like to think about what would happen to my bikes when I've fallen off the perch!

From a classic Brit dealer ... I reckon this was a steal too. look at those standard Hen's teeth exhausts.

What a lovely little twin there Ash.
Sounds really good running too (through headphones) my father's friends had various different Honda twins before I was old enough to ride bikes, funny how that sound memory is still so clear from then.
