R: Racing or Replica.

RR: Race Replica.

RC: Road Racing four stroke engine.

NS and NSR: Two stroke engine.

V: An engine with the V-design, two or four cylinders.

VF: A V four cylinder engine.

VT: A V two cylinder engine.

CB: City Bike.

CBR: Cafe Racer.

S: Sports bike.

GL: Gold Wing.

CV: Constant Vacuum carburetors.

CR: Off Road.

XR: Dirt bike or Motocross bike.

XL: Street Legal dual-sport bike.

VLX: Luxury Cruiser.

VTX: V-Twin Extreme.

ST: Sports Touring.

VTX1800R: V-Twin Extreme 1800 cc R (retro) bike. In this line of bikes, the last initials further mean: S for Classic, F for Sports Cruiser and C for performance.
