Thinking of buying FE400, good/bad? things to look for?

I've seen a 2001 FE400 locally which I'm thinking of buying to satisfy my SM curiosity. Is this a good or bad first SM? My riding experience is road bikes, currently 900 Superlight duke and Bimota YB11. I've never really ridden off road, the 400 would be a road bike only initially, although I wouldn't mind doing some green laning or blasting around the forests. What sort of money is the bike worth? 2500kms on the clock but could well have been raced in the past, has road rims on it, condition wise looks used but clean and tidy. Motor started first kick from cold and sounded ok. Any issues with MOTs? It has the Husaberg exhaust but it's not BS or E marked. Didn't sound too noisey tho.

Is there a classifieds section on here BTW?

any advice appreciated!

Thanks guys for your response. No this is it Taffy. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... %3AIT&rd=1

It sounded good, I asked for it to be cold when I viewed and it seemed to start ok. Condition wise not mint but that used but clean and maintained look. There's nothing with it at that price and it will need an MOT. The fact that the std pipes aren't kitmarked is this a problem for MOTs? The guy has a titanium exhaust/ pipe and off road wheels too, what would these be worth? It is a 450 apparently, has the bore and stroke on the engine case. Supposedly it's not been raced but you never really know do you! It's described as race tuned but what that really means I don't know. To some people a K&N airfilter means it's 'race tuned'! I've seen a couple of WR426s too for about 2k or just above, they've come well recommended too.
