What does cc mean for motorcycles?

[SkylarFitz]

Motorcycle cc represents the engine displacement, which is the total volume of space the piston moves through in the cylinder. The larger the engine displacement, the higher the fuel consumption; the smaller the displacement, the lower the fuel consumption. Displacement is a relatively important structural parameter. Engine displacement can measure the size of the engine. The performance indicators of the engine are closely related to the displacement. The larger the engine displacement, the higher the power output. Generally speaking, the engine displacement used in motorcycles is 200cc. Depending on the cooling method, the engine data can also vary significantly. For water-cooled engines, the limiting factors on horsepower are relatively small. Because water cooling is more efficient than air cooling, it can squeeze out more horsepower. During operation, the engine speed of a water-cooled engine will be higher.
