Honda CM400A is a full blown motorcycle, not a scoot. Unlike most motorcycles It has an hydraulic automatic transmission. A scoot has a belt and variator transmission. It is completely different.
The CM400A is not as powerfull as the CM400E (economy) CM400T (touring) and CM400C (custom) versions, all with 5 speeds manual transmission, but you can ride it to highway speed limits.
If it is in mint condition with little mileage as you say, it can easily sell for 1000$ or more. With high price of gas, more and more people are considering motorcycles and scoots. CM400 has 16 & 18inch wheels as opposed to 10 inch on scoots. This is quite desirable for safety and comfort on rugged pavement. CM400 is light and short, so it is very easy to handle compared to most motorcycles on the market today. It is still possible to get parts trough the internet despite the fact it is 25-30 years old !
I am commuting to work with a CM400T 1980. I love it !
