If I'm not mistaken, on the back of the saftey,it states that it met certain basic requirements on the day of inspection only. If you bought it from a dealer they should be willing to make it right.

+1... Sorry to say this ...you're not going anywhere with this other than wasting your time...

If the bike is shuddering upon stopping, it may not be warped rotors. It may be deposits on certain spots of the rotors,causing different friction coefficients on different parts of the rotors. My KTM suffers this right now- It was disconcerting at Deals Gap, so I just turned it down a little and made due.
A ball hone can clean this up. I would check for warps with a dial indicator, and if none were found,then I would remove the rotors and hone them. A hone is much cheaper than a pair of $750 Honda OEM rotors thats for sure.

Fork seals......they can go anytime. I know people who have installed new fork seals and had the new ones leak the next day.

Suck it up, you bought a "used bike" now you have to deal with regular maintenance issues like brakes and forks. Get a service manual and learn to do it your self or pay shop rate, the min specs for brakes are almost "nill" you could wear them out in a week.

(c) no bonded lining shall be thinner than 1.5 millimetres when measured at the thinnest part;
(d) no riveted lining surface shall be closer to the rivet head than the dimension specified by the vehicle manufacturer and in no case shall it be less than 0.8 millimetres;
(e) no lining of a disc brake assembly shall be worn to the extent that a wear indicator is in contact with the rotor;
