Learning about Motor Bikes 101

Motor Biking Info


For those of you who don't know how to judge sizes of motorcycles or dirt bikes, I'm going to explain.

Dirt bikes have brand names, the cubic centimeters (cc) of the engine, and a stroke number.
RM 250 2 Stroke (taken apart)

For instance, in my welcome photo the bike was a ktm (brand), 350cc (cc of the engine),4 stroke. Stroke is the  amount of power cycles an engine needs to create movement, engine power cycles vary in size. However, dirt bikes come only in two different power cycles 2 stroke or 4 stroke. 

Stroke Number (more detailed)
  A two-stroke, engine is a type of engine which completes a power cycle with two strokes  which makes the piston create an up and down movement to get the only one crankshaft  started.

 This is in contrast to a "four-stroke engine", which requires four strokes of the piston to  complete a power cycle.

Motorcycles are different. There's so many versions of motorcycles but for now I'll talk about street bikes. They will have a brand name and the engine size. Such as a Suzuki 600, 750, 1000, and 1300.
