Engine displacement is a measurement of the amount of space displaced by the movement of a piston.  It is traditionally used to differentiate between classes of motorcycles but isn't always indicative of performance.  Two stroke motorcycle often are able to have quite lower engine displacements and reach the same level of performance of comparable four strokes.
