Not sure if im the only one who didnt know this. The K in our model prefix is Japanese word, kairyo, basically means update or improvement. Id never knew that before, even old Honda models used same letter.

Found this on faceache.

Kairyo is a Japanese term meaning approaching improvement and moving towards excellence, it means jump from the present status to a superior status.
