papa al Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Is "CBR" an initialism denoting something? I think about these things when riding. CBR150R? I know 'RR' means 'race replica.' And PCX? Vietnam makes the Wave100 carbies designated NCX. Pundits.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amusements Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 I would guess that it is Championship Bike Racing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave_boo Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Honda has never set forth the rationale. It is a confusing soup of letter though isn't it? For instance, why one year was it VFR and the next it was RVF? Here's the ones I know about. I'm sure there's others also...

Briggsy Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 In addition the factory name is often different from the name under which the bike is sold under. E.g. My old Kawasaki GPZ 500 in the UK became an EX 500 in the log book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dutchbike Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 What about the secondary codes used by Honda like : MC 19 / MC 22 / MC 28 / KW 6 / NC 23 / NC 35 etc etc What about a MC 22 CBR2500RR I'll like when a bike has a name: Ninja,Panigale, Katana, Nighthawk, Interceptor, Balckbird Mach, Goldwing, Jota to name a few, sounds better then those abreviations. http://auto.howstuffworks.com/17-silly-and-unusual-motorcycle-names.htm#page=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papa al Posted January 18, 2015 Author Share Posted January 18, 2015 Actually CBR = Cross Beam Racer Some guy online disputes this! He says Honda says: CBR is short for CITY BIKE RACING. I think I'll go race mine around the city for a while. See ya.... But CBR150R? The second R? Redundantly repetative? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second R is replica usually used for the more higher spec street racing bikes in that range....mostly as Honda is not exactly consistent about it.
