Whatever the marketing dept thinks sounds cool at the moment. 
Since we all know that it's not really a racer nor ever even marketed that way, it probably should have been labeled as a VT1000F. The F series has always been a sport bike but not necessarily a race replica (R series) but in 1986 Honda went from the VF series to the VFR moniker and everything sporty since has had the R in the first set of letters even if a bike like the VFR turned towards sport-touring.

In Hondaspeak, VT prefix = V twin; R suffix = any road sports bike.
Model word names are a whole new artform. I particularly like the thinking behind the Isuzu Bighorn Plaisir.
