It's as you read it,35 thousand 280 yen.
35 yen wouldn't buy you much

Not necessarily..... they put the comma in odd places. They often leave a zero off the end so its very confusing if you are looking at web prices. If you are looking at Japanese bike prices, they won't be massively different to where you are - so if they look either 10 times too much, or too little.... you've probably got it wrong !

Thats twenty three thousand,one hundred yen.
There is another price in red above that saying 21,945,it looks like thats the discounted price (the 5% off bit in red). If it was a few yen,the comma would be in front of the 3,making it 2,310 yen.Very cheap

I think Davsato is right ..... get the calculator out and see whether it makes sense first. I do not believe you will get a WR450 for £100... not even in Japan. Best ask a Japanese person - and probably best not to post the question on the Yam Tech Forum !!! It says they won't sell abroad anyway.....
The North Asia moderator lives in Japan I think.... he will be able to explain it better.
