Can't Beat Roadrunner. That dude is just too fast....ah well it's a 250 and tops out at about 140km/h / 85 mph.
But it's an efficiency monster that costs very little to purchase and operate.

Seriously though from what I hear the CB used to stand for 4 cylinder in line engines, the R for Racing (or simple a sport bike configuration) that the older CBRs all had. However that has changed over the decades and now even my single cylinder and two cylinder bikes hav the CBR name attached to them most likely just to boost sales with a well known name as they don't have much in common with the original 4 cylinder CBRs.
