Number of cylinders
Small motorcycles normally have a single cylinder, many smaller and mid-range motorcycles have twin cylinders and most medium to large motorcycles have four cylinders. However, no generalisations can be made, as there are a few large singles and twins. Three cylinders have been widely used and there have been some six-cylinder machines. Many different layouts have been used with vertical cylinders the most popular. There are some horizontally opposed and V layouts.
