CC means cubic centimeters. Bikes made by foreign manufacturers use cubic centimeters because they use the metric measuring system. Bikes produced domestically, such as Harley Davidson, use cubic inches.

What is a Motorcycle engine converstion to horse power engine?

If you mean how do you convert , say a 500 engine to horsepower - you can't. Hp is a measure of power that the vehicle can produce, whereas 500 is the inches of the cylinders - which is a measure of the size of the engine. Although the size of the engine affects the Hp it can produce, so does the size of the vehicle (it's weight), and the speed it's running (Hp is always given at a certain RPM, as the engine's efficency is different at different speeds). Hope that helps. PS you can convert the Cu In to Litres, like 1 liter is about 61 cubic inches.

Why motorcycle engine rev so high?

because a motorcycle engine is smaller in comparison to a cars engine. a motorcycle also puts out more power for its size than a car engine. To do this it must create a large amount of centrifugal force and to do this it spins faster. This reduces the maximum amount of torque available, but due to the small size of motorcycle, and rider, the torque is not necessary, and can even be dangerous. A car requires alot of torque in order to move, so the engine must be made of heavier materials and moved slower.

What are engine kilowatts?

The Watt is the fundamental unit for power in the mks unit system of measurements. Kilowatts = 1000 Watts; so engine Kilowatts are the units used to measure the power of an engine. Truth be known, though. Kilowatts are more likely used for electric motors than they are for internal combustion engines. A common unit for engine power is horse-power (HP), but 1 HP = 746 Watts. So Watts can be used to measure engine power as well.
