Proper identification can be difficult, as the CB92R didn’t carry any unique markings. And since few owners can trace their bike’s history back to the day it left the dealer’s showroom, any CB92 with the proper period parts can call itself a CB92R, even if it’s not. American Honda sales figures show 148 CB92Rs sold in 1961 and 268 in 1962.

Oh, how things have changed
From a 1962 Honda Motor Cycle Owner’s Manual are the following riding suggestions, translated by Honda for the “American Motorcycle Rider.” 

1. At the rise of the hand by Policeman, stop rapidly. Do not pass him by or otherwise disrespect him.
2. When a passenger of the foot, hooves in tight, tootel the horn trumpet melodiously at first, if he still obstacles your passage, tootel him with vigor and express by word of mouth, warning Hi, Hi.
3. Beware of the wandering horse that he shall not take fright as you pass him. Do not explode the exhaust box at him. Go soothingly by.
4.Give big space to the festive dog that makes sport in roadway. Avoid entanglement of dog with wheel spokes.
5. Go soothingly on the grease, mud, as there lurks the skid demon! Press the brake foot as you roll around the corners, and save the collapse and
tie up.
