We have all been mainly exposed to one type of bike engine, i.e., Single cylinder engine found in most motorcycles. But there is lots of variety in the type of engines used in motorcycles. Know what they are?
So In today's video, we are taking a look at different types of engines used in a motorcycle.

Commonly Found Motorcycle Engine Types Are:
1) Singlecylinder engines: A piston engine with only one cylinder is a singlecylinder engine, commonly termed a thumper. Singlecylinder engines work best on small cc bikes. They are cheap to maintain and fix if something goes wrong. Single cylinders are sluggish at higher RPMs but are very aggressive and punchy down low, making them great for adrenalinepumped lowspeed rides.

2) Twocylinder engines: As you can guess from the name, this engine has two cylinders. More cylinders mean more weight, more cost, and more power. Types of twocylinder engines: InlineTwin, VTwin, LTwin, & FlatTwin.

3) Triplecylinder engines: A straightthree engine (also called an inlinetriple or inlinethree) is a threecylinder piston engine where cylinders are arranged in a line and a common crankshaft. Straightthree engines typically use a crankshaft angle of 120 degrees, resulting in an evenly spaced firing interval.

4) Fourcylinder engines: Most automotive fourcylinder engines use a straightfour layout. Types of Fourcylinder engines: Inline4 & V4.

5) FiveCylinder Engine: The straightfive or inlinefive engine is an IC engine with five cylinders aligned in one row or plane, sharing a singleengine block and crankcase. The fivecylinder engine is almost as compact as an inlinefour and nearly as smooth as a straightsix engine.
V5 engine: The engine design is a 5cylinder in a V configuration, consisting of three front and two rear cylinders.

6) SixCylinder engine: The straightsix engine (also referred to as an inlinesix engine; abbreviated I6 or L6) is an internal combustion engine with six cylinders mounted straight along the crankcase with all the pistons driving a common crankshaft (straight engine). Types of Sixcylinder engines: Inline6, V6, & Flat6.

7) EightCylinder Engine: Motorcycles have rarely used V8 engines, with the few built for motor racing. In 1907, Glen Curtiss set an unofficial world record of 136.36 mph (219.45 km/h) on a homemade 4.0 L (244 cu in) motorcycle.

8) TenCylinder Engine: A V10 engine is a tencylinder piston engine where the cylinders are arranged in a V configuration around a common crankshaft.
