  3. CC stands for "cubic centimeter," which is the displacement of the engine. "Displacement" means the total volume of air that is compressed during the firing cycle of the cylinders. Usually, the more displacement, the more power. Motorcycle engines are usually described in "CCs" since the engines are relatively small; the same number divided by 1000 is the displacement in liters, which is how car engines are usually described.

    Several things happen when the pistons move back and forth. In a four-cycle engine, the piston pulls back to draw the fuel-air mixture into the cylinder, then pushes against the air to compress it. Just before the piston reaches the point of maximum compression, the spark plug fires, igniting the fuel-air mixture, which shoves the piston back to the beginning point, where it pushes the burned fuel-air mixture into the exhaust, and the whole thing starts over. It's called four-cycle (or four-stroke) because four separate operations happen - intake, compression, combustion and exhaust. The spark plug fires every other time the piston reaches the point of maximum compression (also called the top of the stroke). Valves control whether air is allowed to flow into and out of the cylinder.

    On a two-cycle (or two-stroke) engine the same process is accomplished by using the beginning of the compression stroke and the end of the combustion stroke to perform the intake and exhaust functions.

    In both types of engine, if there are multiple pistons they are attached to a common crankshaft (which is how power is applied to whatever the engine is attached), and offset so that the combustion stroke in one cylinder powers the compression stroke of another.

    Two-cycle engines are simpler and give a greater power-to-weight ratio than four-cycle engines, but require that lubricating oil be mixed into the fuel, and thus they don't burn as cleanly as four-cycle engines.
