I have a 1994 price list showing your CFR-3 at $999.95 US. It was 2nd in a 5 model road line (at least in then USA).

Thanks, T-Mar. This bike seems so underrated to me, including the group. She drives very, very good indeed. To my surprise I must say. I own quite a few bikes, all great, but this is my first composite. I am a happy man.
