The meaning of cbr and rr

The actual meaning of cbr is city bike racer and the RR is race replica. There you go that's the answer.

Honda’s CB and CBR series seem to be some of the most debated names in motorcycle naming, at least as far as the meaning of the name was concerned. While most of the riders agree that CB stands for City Bike, the name of the sportbike CBR series is fought upon. Some riders say it means City Bike Racing or Racer, but Honda’s top hat Dan Hancock said it in fact abbreviates Cross Beam Racer.

Apparently, this name was used to express the placement of the 4-cylinder in-line engine, which was positioned across the frame beams, and this coming from Honda’s R&D mastermind, so I think that makes it official.
