Hvad står CBR for ?

Og så på en tidlig lørdag morgen slog det mig lige pludseligt:

Hvad står CBR for? Typisk mig
Ind på nettet - Google - søge - søge - søge -> Intet resultat!
Hmmmmmmm? Måske søgte jeg ikke godt nok?
Måske står det slet ikke for noget?

Kan nogen hjælpe med det?

Et par bud fra min søgning:

Can't Build Replacement.

Cool Bird Rider.

Can Burn Rubber.

Classic Black Rocket.

Closed Body Racer. (faired bike)

City Bike Racing (started with the CB series in the 70's then added the R)

Kinda what I heard was \"City Bike\" for the \"CB\" series and they added the \"R\" in 87 when they introduced the Hurricane making it \"City Bike Race\" edition.
Then of course they changed it to \"RR\" meaning \"Race Replica\"

Det sidste er nok det mest seriøse bud.

Og så en længere smørre om de forskellige forkortelser:

I don't think there's anything official, but there is sort of a method to the madness for the prefixes. Here's a stab at it, and it doesn't include things like frames, etc.

Hej Daniel!

Ja - det var jo en længere historie. Fin research må jeg sige, og mange sjove og gode muligheder.

Det vil jeg studere
