    I think it designates the 2010 model?

    I could be wrong though.

    I am sure that is correct.
    When i had my 2010 HRC ABS it was called RAA. The non ABS was RRA

    Aflie your not the only one mate, I bought my ABS Respol blade at the end of Feb, I think it's a 2011 model as it had the updated Colour Front forks but when i'm asked about the model when looking at mods most seem to have 08-10 then 2012 model range. AS for the RR8,RR9 I have no idea. just ride and enjoy the thing but would like to know ;)

    Most web sites say 08 to 10 only coz they have not updated they're systems


    The only way to know for deffinate what model you have is by what owners card Honda send you as they take it from your VIN number

    The dealer wrote RR9 in my service book which i went nuts about as i had just paid 11 grand for a brand new bike that had sat in the show room for 2 years

    Honda sent my owners card and it was RR-A so i phoned Honda uk with my VIN number and they confirmed it was a 2010

    I had to get the dealer to make out a new service book for me with the correct model number on it
