Different Evaluations of Bike Engines

This document discusses the history and types of engines used in vehicles, including motorcycles. It describes engines ranging from early steam engines in bullock carts and motorcycles to modern internal combustion engines. Engine configurations covered include singles, twins, triples, inline engines, V-engines, flat or boxer engines, and up to V8 engines. Key points about each configuration are outlined, along with examples of manufacturers that have used different types of engines in motorcycles.

EVALUATION OF
VEHICALS
History
A bullock cart or ox cart (sometimes
called a bullock carriage when carrying
people in particular) is a two-wheeled or
four-wheeled vehicle pulled by oxen.

 It is a means of transportation used since


ancient times in many parts of the world.
They are still used today where modern
vehicles are too expensive or the
infrastructure favor them.
Cycle Rickshaw

The cycle rickshaw is a small-scale local


means of transport. It is a type of hatchback 
tricycle designed to carry passengers on a 
for-hire basis.

 It is also known by a variety of other


names such as bike
taxi, velotaxi, pedicab, bikecab, cyclo, be
ca, becak, trisikad, sikad, tricycle
taxi, trishaw, or hatchback bike.
 There were no steam motorcycles in 1818,
but there soon would be.
 The first motorcycles were powered by 
steam engines.
 The earliest example is the French 
Michaux-Perreaux steam velocipede of
1868.
Olden days
 This was followed by the American 
Roper steam velocipede of 1869, and a
number of other steam powered two and
three wheelers, manufactured and sold to
the public on through the early 20th
century.

Nowadays
 While today nearly every motorcycle has
its engine in the center of the frame; this
became standard only around 1900-
1910 after nearly every possible engine
location was tried.
 The modern equivalent became
universally popular in the 1950s and
remains much the same today.
 The Otto cycle gasoline internal
combustion engine was first used on an
experimental two-wheeler created by 
Gottlieb Daimler to test the practicality of
such an engine in a vehicle.
 The USMC has ordered a new diesel
motorcycle, the M1030 M1, that can use
the same fuel, JP-8, as the rest of their
armored vehicles, aircraft, cars and
trucks.

Types
 Two-stroke and four-stroke

 Cylinder heads

 Valve control in four-strokes

 Unit construction

 Cylinders and configuration


Single
Main article: Single-cylinder engine

 Single-cylinder engines (a.k.a. "singles"


or "thumpers") have the cylinder vertical,
inclined or horizontal, the last type most
common in step-through motorcycles.

 Until the mid-1960s, road-racing


machines, like the UK's Matchless, AJS 1960 BSA GOLD STAR
and Norton, tended to be large singles,
but since then multicylinder racers have
become the norm. 
Straight-twin
Main article: Straight-twin engine

 Starting with Edward Turner's


1937 Triumph Speed Twin design, and
until the mid-1970s, the parallel-twin was
the most common British motorcycle
type.
1962 Honda CB77 Superhawk 305 cc
 There are three crankshaft configurations
(18.6 cu in) twin
for this engine: 360°, 180°, and the newer
engine.
270°.

 Parallel twins usually have only two main


bearings.
V-twin
Main article: V-twin engine

 In a V-twin engine the cylinders form a


"V" around the crankshaft.

 V-twins may be mounted either


longitudinally with the cylinders
protruding either side, like the Honda Harley-Davidson Sportster  V-twin
CX500n  and Moto Guzzi, or transversely,
such as Harley-Davidson, Ducati, or
Aprilia.
Flat-twin
Main article: Flat-twin engine

 In a flat-twin, or boxer, engine the


cylinders are horizontally opposed.

 Flat-twins are made


by BMW and Ural and historically
BMW's opposed twin on a 1954 R68
by Douglas, Marusho, and Hoffmann,
among others.

 Some early motorcycles used transverse-


crank flat twin engines, especially
Douglas motorcycles before World War
II.
Inline triple
Main article: Straight-three engine

 Three-cylinder engines, a.k.a. triples, are


normally mounted transversely. The
British Hinckley Triumph factory has
specialized in transverse triples, although
their 2,300 cc Rocket III has its engine
Triumph Rocket III inline-3
mounted longitudinally.

 Honda produced the water-cooled V-3


two-strokes MVX250 and NS400. There
have been various race bike triples such as
Kawasaki KR750, Suzuki
TR750 transverse 3s, and
Proton/Modenas KR3, Honda NS500 V-
3s.
Inline four
Main article: Inline-four engine

 Production of four cylinder motorcycles


began with the FN Four in 1905.

 The first across-the-frame 4-cylinder


motorcycle was the racer 1939 Gilera 500 Honda CB750 transverse inline-4
Rondine, it also had double-over-head
camshafts, forced-inducting supercharger
and also water-cooled.
Flat four
Main article: Flat-four engine

 A flat-4 or horizontally opposed-4 is a flat


engine with four cylinders arranged
horizontally in two banks of two
cylinders on each side of a central
crankcase. The Honda GL1000 flat-four

 The configuration results in inherently


good balance of the reciprocating parts, a
low centre of gravity, and a very short
engine length.
V4
Main article: V4 engine

 Honda uses V4 engines in the ST


series and VFR series.

 Yamaha later raced transverse four Honda VFR1200F engine with dual clutch
TZ500/700/750's and virtually all the transmission.
bikes in the last decade of the two-stroke
GP500 era were fours, first squares then
Vs, by Honda, Kawasaki, Cagiva, Suzuki,
Yamaha.
V5
Main article: V5 engine

 Honda has produced five-cylinder


engines for racing, the RC211V 990 cc V5.
No V5 engines are currently available in
commercial production motorcycles.

Honda V5 MotoGP engine


 The range was to include the single, a
400 cc twin, a 600 cc triple and a 1000 cc
V5. None of these motorcycles reached
production.
Inline six
Main article: Straight-six engine

 The 1,047 cc Honda CBX was produced


from 1978 to 1982.
Benelli Sei inline-6

 The BMW K1600GT and K1600GTL,


which were launched in 2011, have a
transverse-mounted 1,649 cc engine.
Flat 6
Main article: Flat-six engine

 The six-cylinder engine is currently used Honda Valkyrie flat-6


by Honda in the Gold Wing, and had
previously been used in the Valkyrie and
the Rune, both of which were cruiser
developments of the Gold Wing.
V8
Main article: V8 engine

 Galbusera built a V8 in 1938, and Moto


Guzzi experimented over a period of two
years with its dual-overhead-cam 500 cc
V8, the Otto Cilindri, in the 1950s. Moto Guzzi V8

 In 2003 Daimler-Chrysler manufactured
a limited number of Tomahawk concept
vehicles with a Dodge Viper V-10 engine.
