Default took a cbr out yesterday

and i dont know what to do. On my phone so apologies for the lack of paragraphs now then took one out and its ok apparv from a small crack in the fairing but what is worrying me is the paint on the tank where the seat fits is all worn off and repainted. What would cause this? Also its got the cct thing but its 100 quid off so not too bad. Hmm cant decide

The seat rubbing. Just give it a tap to make sure it's not half rusted through.

Would not the tank wear be an indication of high (ish) mileage. If it's supposed to have only 10k or less miles then I'd be a bit wary personally.
