Choosing the Right Number of Cylinders?

When choosing the number of cylinders on your motorbike you have a very clear choice. You can either opt for plenty of grunt (few cylinders) or optimum performance (lots of cylinders). The fewer the cylinders your motorbike has the more attitude it has. You bike will grunt, it will growl, it will roar on the open road. Bikes with few cylinders will have a low RPM and are therefore suited to off roading where a lot of torque is required.

The more cylinders your bike has the more the bike is suited to long distance riding. Incredible bike performance is found in bikes with four cylinders where the engine is able to rev up to 10000 RPM and beyond.
