What Are the Classification of Motorcycle Displacement?
2 Answers
Motorcycle displacement refers to the cylinder volume of the engine, measured in milliliters. The numbers in motorcycle model names typically represent the displacement. Below is a detailed classification of motorcycle displacement: 1. Ultra-lightweight: Below 100cc, including 50-90cc, such as 50, 70, 80, and 90cc. 2. Lightweight: Small displacement ranging from 100-150cc, including 100, 110, 125, and 150cc. 3. Medium-small displacement: 200-400cc, including 200, 250, 300, and 400cc. 4. Large displacement: 500-900cc, including 500, 600, 750, and 900cc. 5. Super-large displacement (liter-class): Above 1000cc, such as 1000, 1100, 1250, and 1300cc.
Motorcycle displacement categories are roughly divided into several ranges: small displacement is typically 50 to 125cc, like scooters, suitable for urban commuting, fuel-efficient and easy to park, with cheap maintenance; medium displacement ranges from 250 to 500cc, such as some light cruisers, offering more power but not too aggressive, great for short weekend trips; large displacement is between 500 to 1000cc, including sports bikes, with fast acceleration but higher fuel consumption, requiring caution for beginners; extra-large displacement exceeds 1000cc, like Harley-Davidson level, purely for performance enthusiasts. These categories help people choose bikes based on their needs, saving money and being practical, so don’t blindly buy high-displacement bikes and waste resources.
