I may be the only one not to know but I am having a hard time finding out what CBR stands for. I looked in the forum history and it's not standing out. I could start making up my own definition, but I would rather be funny with other bikes not mine. And how about some history if anyone has it. Thanks!!!

Thanks for the terms. I kinda wish it was something more catchy, but it all fits just fine. How about the RR?

 

This was up before.
Someone said it was
"Cool Bike Riders" [sm=shades.gif]

I'll buy that one

 

Replica Racer
or
Race Replica

 

My manual reads "Race Replica" but some claim it stands for race ready or road racer.

 

CB is the engine designator. CB = inline 4. The R well you should know what that means

Another example. Hondas V-Twins are VT. Hence the VTR 1000 or the RC-51.

Just in case your still stuck on the R it means racing.

 

The RC-51's are offically called RVT SP-1 and SP-2's...
