I've just joined CBR Forums and had a quick question. I bought a 87 CBR F1 Hurricane a few months back, and was just wondering what the difference was between a Hurricane and a regular CBR. Any help would be great.

 

Hurricane was for 87-88 only I believe. Its just what they called them at first, then they dropped the Hurricane name because it was too offensively traumatic or something along those lines. There was only one 600 model those years, its not a suped up 600 or anything.

 

They droped the hurricane name, because in europe, it drove the insurrance companys insane. At the time it was the most expensive sports bike to insure.
Even Kawasaki Ninja's have been renamed in some parts of the world to please the insurance companys

 

please the insurance companies how? how did i drive em insane? its just a name lol

 

Thanks for the input

 

C'mon down to the Hurricane section and meet the rest of the guys !
