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]] [[motorcycles]] often are able to have quite lower engine displacements and reach the same level of performance of comparable [[four stroke]].
'''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]] [[motorcycles]] often are able to have quite lower engine displacements and reach the same level of performance of comparable [[four stroke]].


Displacement = radius squared x 3.14 x stroke x number of cylinders.
