If a bike's displacement is 498cc, what does that mean?

Question

If a bike's displacement is 498cc, what does that mean?

Answer 1

That is the size of the engine (internal piston displacement).

Bigger  = more power BUT heavier and more difficult to control.

Good Luck....

Answer 2

it means it's a half a liter motorcycle

Answer 3

The engine displaces 498 cubic centimeters in volume.

Answer 4

cc usually stands for cubic centimetres.......and it's used u specify ur engine capacity.....don't know what displacement has got to do with it....displacement is the distance traveled.....

Answer 5

498-cc is cubic centimeters of displacement it means the space where the gas and spark meet and produce combustion

Answer 6

Essentially, it means that it will go faster than a 250cc bike.

A honda rebel is a 250 cc bike.  The top speed is somewhere around 70mph to 80mph.  A 498 (it will be rounded to the nearest 50, so will be called 500) cc bike should go much faster.  It will also be heavier, and bigger.

Answer 7

It is a measure of displacement of air or length of stroke X diameter of the bore X Pi X r2. X the number of cylinders. 498 cc is about 30 cubic inchers.
