You run then jump because you get more momentum and can jump higher.

Also, you increase your horizontal velocity so that you can jump farther.

Can a 50cc motobike have a 450cc motor?

yes it is obviously possible to do as many people have done so before.

Yamaha and Honda 50's are the easiest for this operation as they have a sturdier construction.
