Doesn't really mean anything. Honda has been using the CB prefix for all their street bikes, since they started building 2 cylinder bikes. The R is just added to designate a race style sport bike. RR is for a race replica. Just to advertise that their models were competitive on race tracks.
CR - Competition Racer
XR - Cross country Racer (X as in MX motocross)
XL - Cross country w / Lights
CRF - Competition Racer Four stroke
VT - Vertical Twin
GL - GoLd wing
Use your imagination as a model designer. What would you designate a quad with tank treads? - QTT?
Yamaha -YZ - Yami's Zing past the competition.
Suzuki - RM - Rev's More or Race Model
Kawasaki VN - VulcaN

CB is Honda designation for a street bike. A 'C' designation is for Cub, 49 to 99cc semi-scooter (step thruogh frame, 17" wheels)
Dont know but here's a guess.
I guess CB is for Cub, Bigger? (lol) the 'R' is probably road
RR is definately race replica ( as in CBR900RR)
The race only bikes are RC for road racers and CR for motocross

I'm not sure but I think it's just an insignia (is not initials for something) like the honda cr the yamaha yz, kawasaki kx, suzuki rm, suzuki gsxr...etc.

i've got continuously understood the "CB" to stand for Commuter motorbike, or city motorbike (i.e.: designed for on a daily basis commuting or city driving). i've got heard that the "R" stands for Race, Racer or Racing (i.e.: greater sportier version of their CB motorcycles). they quite have a "CBF", yet i don't know what the "F" stands for. So "CBR" stands for city (or Commuter) motorbike Racing.

Not sure about bikes.
But usually it means the Engine and Drive-train type.
Could be type of bike frame also.
