| Re: What does "CB" stand for? I believe it stands for City Bike, and CBR would be City Bike Race, or something like that. RR is Race Replica. |

| Re: What does "CB" stand for? I read an article once about the unveiling of the original CBR600F (Hurricane) where the press asked the Jap Engineers at the unveiling what the "CBR" stood for and was quite surprised at their response; "Completely Bad-assed Ride". I was impressed... |

| Re: What does "CB" stand for? CB is for "crashes badly". This is undoubtedly because it weighs more.
CBR means "cant be repaired" or "crashed beyond recognition". This is because it goes so much faster.
RR simply means "road rash"
