I like the look of it sooo retro.

I think it's a Japanese market only bike.

     No they were only made for the anniversary year, Japanese market only i believe.  The NC36.

 Strangely it was only yesterday i did a search for one but searched for cb400sf NC36 so it didn't show up. I certainly will not pay that sort of money for one. Even though it does look a good one.

Four exhausts, twin discs, wider rims, neat foot rests - aside from the price what's not to like.
 Is it water cooled or is it an oil cooler?
Parts might be hard to find in the UK. 0-60 in 5 secs.
Future classic?

   Water cooled it is basically a Super Four which I think a cracking little bike. But not for taller people. Def for the vertically challenged I would say.  ;)

Looks like a CB1300X4 or SC40. Might be an SC38 though. I've got the SC54 version.

Yes it's the X4 CB1300, import only, I had the pipes altered to take the ART cans, it's the one bike I have always regretted selling and to make matters worse the are becoming sort after, still it was quick on acceleration and manageable, unlike the V-Max I once owned.
