That's good enough for me, seems that anyone who might know has been asked and model designation letters seem the best explanation. I think I prefer that explanation to ' City Bike ' as that sounds like a commuter scooter type of bike. Cheerscurlyjoe_imp said:

Geez, I thought everyone knew that CB stands for "cool beans" and now you have your explanation.
Nah ... it stands for Completely Barmy.

Django, no worries; it also took me a while to locate the signature line feature!Django_imp said:
Click on User CP at the top of this page, where it says, "Welcome back, Django. You last visited: Today, ... (User CP - Log out)."
Then you'll be taken to a new page, User Control Panel, with myriad options along the left-hand side. Change Signature appears as the 5th item listed under sub-heading Your Profile. Hope this helps!

I fell for that one until someone informed me it was a long standing forum farkle. Of course, I didn't go into the detail like you just did. With 3,211 members, 6,430 Forum threads, and 111,264 Forum posts, I don't know how you missed it.

Well, call me a chump, 'cause I bit on Django's lure... hook, line, and sinker!

Jerrycon is that a provable fact or a theory because I've always been wondering and have heard a million possibilities?

Provable fact? Not at all. With Honda unwilling to confirm, I'm just throwing my pet theory out there to see if it gets any traction. (I added the katakana and kanji for extra believability points). I do love the Honda Benly with the silver tank, though. And my CB1100 certainly serves as my Custom Benly.
The most provable theory is probably the theory of series designation. First there was the C series, which included the Super Cub Then a CA series, which included the CA95 Benly. Then the CB series, which included the CB92 Benly. If we one day see a CC series, then we'll have our proof.

Fritz, I'm sorry for that. :beerchug:fritzwilliger_imp said:
This was not intended as trolling. I just thought, it would be funny, to pretend in the signature line, not to know, how to change the signature (obvious paradox).
However, meanwhile I had 3 or 4 forum members at the hook and you're not alone. I didn't want to make you feel like a chump and I changed my signature again for that reason.
Cheers.

They bit because this is the friendliest, most helpful group I have come across in 25+ years of forums - Hats off to all! BTW, why I was pleased to assist all with discounts when possible. I guess it says something about the type of person that values a CB.

Moini:hello:
CB stands for "Cylinder Bank"
It's the designation for the shape of the engine
Look at VFR or VT = V Form Cylinders
or CX = Cylinders like an X
Have a nice day

a motorcyle engine should have oil in it, not water......
