CB was used in the early 60's to designate the low pipe street models. Like an example, the old Super Hawk was a CB305, the off road/street high pipe versions were called CL, like the Scrambler was called a CL305, then there was the Dream, which was a CA305. They kept the CB, CL thing going and added the F when there was a change like the old CB/CL 350 twin was then teamed with the 350/4cyl. called a 350F in 1972. The CB 750, CB500/CB550 became known as the CB 750F or the CB550F when they became sport bikes doing away with the 4 mufflers and going to the one muffler, plus a change of engine parts, handlebars, etc. It appears as if the "F" seems to stand for what they used to call the Super Sport versions. This is only an observation. Your's may vary.

i dont know if that is true or not though, seen information on what everything meant and it had to do with model, engine type, type of bike, all that jazz already stated, but it had it all broken down....i have seen this posted several times, just cant find what i was looking for....ill just keep looking.
