Many new motorcycle enthusiasts become confused about the size and power ratings of motorcycles. Keep reading to learn all about motorcycle ccs:

What does “cc” mean?
CC stands for cubic centimeters. This measures the volume of an engine’s cylinders. CC is not a measure of power, but a measure of size.

Are higher cc motorcycles more powerful?
Yes. The larger the engine, the more air and fuel it can take in at once. This means it can generate more power, at the expense of fuel efficiency.

What are the sizes of cc?
Small bikes like scooters and mopeds have engines between 50 and 125cc. Most motorcycles are somewhere between 125 and 1400cc, while large cruiser motorcycles can approach 2000cc.

How do I choose the right cc for my riding style?
Beginners should choose motorcycles with lower cc. They should also consider the number of cylinders and overall horsepower. Too much power can be dangerous for beginning riders.
