square 4? boxer twin?

I had only 2-stroke bikes, my favorit was the CZ 485/2, made in Czehoslovakia, single-cylinder 246 ccm, 18 hp, but it had much more torque than you expected. It was easy to ride, and it was reliable and economical. And, I think, it was beautyful. Twelve years ago, I had a big mistake: I married... you can imagine the consequences... :(

I went from the most common inline-4, through single, twin, boxer, ending up with a triple now. Great mix of everything.

You really need to cover crankshaft designs in any video covering engine configuration, at least when you’re playing engine sounds. 360°, 180°, and 270° crank inline-two cylinder engines all sound quite different.

And talk about the Yamaha CP4 engine, which I have in my MT10.

Wonderful survey! You did miss "dual pin crankshafts" of a few V-Twins that were exceedingly smooth in vibration. A 70 degree head angle could vibrate as little as a 90 degree head angle because there were two different crankshaft pins on one crankshaft that cancelled a lot of piston shake. I had the Honda PC-800 which was amazingly smooth, yet quite light for a "sport touring" full-fairing bike, and relatively inexpensive. My hands never went numb even on day long tours...........................elsullo

In general, a parallel twin is a 360 degree twin (he missed in the video) where one cylinder is on the compression cycle while the other is on exhaust. In contrast, the 90/270 is what's commonly referred to as an in-line twin, with the compression cycle of one cylinder being either the power or intake cycle of the other.

Great video. I have an in line 4.

Engine sounds that you added is unique

Lets see... you missed the 4 cylinder boxer motor as used on the early gold wings and the Wankel engines as used by Suzuki and Hercules.. And if you are listing one off configurations such as Allan Millyards' V10, he also did a V12 and Simon Whitlock did a 48 Cylinder motorcycle.

The term thumpers would normally only be attached from 500cc 4 stroke and up single-cylinder engines. You also didn't mention split singles commonly used by Puch. Straight twin engines are known as Parallel Twins unless the US is different. Most common having 360, 180, or 270-degree cranks In your description of V-Twins, you included Ducati and believe you are correct, the L-Twin term is a recent description. Rear cylinder cooling can be a problem with air-cooled bikes. You didn't mention the Square 4 engine used by Ariel. There may be more but hey!

Best sounding motorcycle engines: 1 Cylinder V-Twin Straight 3 Inline 4 Flat Six V8 V10 But overall, I think the Inline 4 sounds the best followed by the Inline six.

I have a 2011 H-D XL883N 'Iron' and a 1980 Benelli 900 Sei, as you can imagine they are two very different motorcycles. Although the Harley has a rubber mounted engine it still vibrates as it rumbles. The Benelli on the other hand is silky smooth all through the rev range, it also handles considerably better than the Harley.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but there is a distinction between a boxer and a flat twin. Boxers move in and out in time and in relation to eachother, as you described. A flat twin has one cylinder doing the opposite of the other, ie one goes in while the other goes out.

I own a 1973 BMW R75/5 that's a 745cc flat twin. The engine's pistons move in and out at the same time to balance their rotation. The faster one goes, the smoother the engine becomes. The VW Bug uses a 4 cylinder boxer engine where the two cylinders on each side have a piston at TDC and the other piston at the bottom of the stroke so resembles a boxer punching with a right then a left. Grew up with a neighbor that fell in love with BMW motorcycles and VW's while serving as a tank mechanic with the 3RD Army during WW2. They would find them intact and out of gas so painted them green, added a white star then put them to use. He said they ran exceptionally well and were simple to maintain. They tore down a VW Kubelwagen engine and were shocked to find that the crankshaft had no counterweights and just was a forged bar.

@@rogercohn I hope you're kidding. A boxer CAN have two cylinders firing at the same time. A flat twin? It's a physical impossibility.

Jawa produced a single cylinder engine that had two pistons. that shared a special connecting rod. the second piston was for valving. BSA also made single cylinder 500cc engines. Triumph has a different firing order then other inline twins. Suzuki made the Virago that was a V twin. Kawasaki also made inline triple cylinder two stroke engines. and Yamaha made twin cylinder two stroke engines. Honda also made 350cc, 450cc, 550cc, inline four cylinder engines. and Honda also produced the most inline four cylinder engines. and they produced the most reliable fours. Kawasaki also produced inline four cylinder engines. in the KZ 650cc and 900cc and 1000cc bikes.

NSU made a 250 single that used a second cylinder to push the air/fuel mixture into it. Think they called it a 250 compressor engine.

I think what you labelled an inline engine is actually called "A parallel twin". I've owned many Triumphs and BSA's , 650 cc parallel twins back in the 60's and 70's. And unlike your diagram for the inline twin, my parallel twins had both pistons rising and falling together, parallel as it were. The valve and ignition timing was different for each cylinder of course. This design was how they could keep the engine so narrow and did away with the need for a center bearing and journal. The parallel twins had only two bearings, one on each side of the crank. At present I have a Can Am Ryker 900 ACE. 3 cylinder inline, 82 hp and that 3 vibrates at idle so bad I can't see anything in the mirrors. Once above idle the vibration is gone.

They’re both called parallel twins they just have a different crankshaft design

I’d pay good money to hear all these engines idling. One of my pet peeves is blipping the throttle. The recoding for the Gold Wing motor has gotta be a carbureted engine. My 2019 starts up and stays running perfectly, doesn’t sound like that at all. That being said, I wish there more videos like this on KZread, maybe I’d actually be on here more often. I love the animated pictures of cylinder movement.
