No the F4 came out in 99 n 2000. The F2 came out after the hurricane (F1) in 89 or 90.

Folks, a Decade is 10 years, NOT 20!

So what you are saying is that it was a score of years ago?
My local Honda dealer goes with the Hurricane name being dropped because insurance companies didn't like the name.

RE: Honda drops Hurricane Name
I find that hard to believe, but I am by no means a motorcycle insurance expert. I think it could have definitely been a factor in the change but most likely a lot of things played into the drop of the name like what was said earlier in following the lead of the Euro companies or even just consumer studies with the name. Just my .02

RE: Honda drops Hurricane Name
Yer , if some insurance co are doing this..... it is a load of bull**** ..
I just received my quote for insuring my CBR1000F and it was only $345.00 AUD for full comp...with no special mention of what type of ride I was insuring ..
http://www.ebikeinsurance.com.au/ ( they insure in three countries now )
Mind you , in Aust we do not get a Hurricane sticker on our ride... we are just CBR's
If Honda are doing it? , I think it is for other reasons? ..and they are using the insurance line as a cover to shut the people up that might want to keep the name..
If you insurance co runs that **** past you ...bloody hell , just go elsewhere !!!!

well i wonder why the cbr or cane wasnt available in the USA in 89, the year after they removed the "hurricane" name? just wondering.

It will be interesting to hear from anyone that has that answer
I might go do some searching myself now
