What type of engines do motorcycles have?

Motorcycles typically have internal combustion engines, which can be classified into two main types: two-stroke and four-stroke engines. Two-stroke engines are lighter and simpler but generally less fuel-efficient and produce more emissions. Four-stroke engines are more common in modern motorcycles, offering better fuel efficiency, lower emissions, and greater durability. Additionally, some motorcycles use electric motors, particularly in electric models, providing an alternative to traditional combustion engines.
