1962 Honda CR-92 Street Version from the Maloney Honda Motorcycle Collection on display at LeMay - America's Car Museum -- Tacoma, Wa.
There never was a "CR92". Honda also put together perhaps 30 street-legal CR93s, most of which were sold in Japan. Engines in the street-friendly CR93 had lower horsepower thanks to a more restrictive exhaust (approximately 16.5 horsepower versus up to 21 on the unrestricted racers), employed a kick starter, and were fitted with a neutral switch, centrifugal ignition advance mechanism and a four coil ignition instead of the two coil setup found on the race engines. The street version was also equipped with a headlight, taillight, license plate holder, battery and side covers.
