Motorcycles have been around for more than ten decades. During this time, motorcycle engines have developed through tweaking and reworking items to get the best performance. There have been more than one dozen engines, but some never met with success. Cost efficiency and customer satisfaction brought failure to a number of motorcycle engines.

All motorcycle engines are fueled by gasoline. To best understand engine types, it is important to understand how an engine works.

A pole called a rod cranks inside the engine and creates a draft that pulls both gasoline and air into a chamber called the cylinder. Inside the cylinder, a piston and rod quickly move up to push the gasoline and air into a smaller space where it meets the spark plug. The spark plug produces a spark between its two metal pieces.

Once the spark plug gives off a spark, the gasoline and air explode. This pushes the piston down, which in turn drives the belt or chain. This action is called torque. The movement of the belt or chain causes the rear wheel of the motorcycle to revolve. A motorcycle's performance is determined by how many cylinders are inside the engine and how they are arranged.

Single cylinder engine:

A single cylinder engine has one cylinder and one piston. Single cylinder engines are used in all off road motorcycles. The single cylinder provides a lot of torque, but also a load of vibration. The vibration is loud and one of the qualities that dirt bike race fans crave during a race.

Twin cylinder engine:

Logically, twin cylinder engines have two cylinders. The cylinders are placed together at an angle. Usually the cylinders are positioned at a 90 degree angle, but there are exclusions to that standard. A twin cylinder engine produces more power because there is more torque and more fuel used. Twin cylinder engines do not vibrate as much as a single cylinder engine.

Now, as stated above, there are exceptions. The boxed or boxer design finds cylinders placed side by side. This produces even less vibration, but adds a new issue. The cylinders tend to jut out the side of the bike, which makes it hard to take sharp corners. Another issue is the tremendous heat that the cylinders project; it makes leg protection a necessary evil.

Triple Cylinder Engines

A three cylinder engine finds the cylinders included in a head. This type of engine offers a load of power, but it also requires more parts. Each cylinder requires an additional fuel injector and carburetor. The more cylinders included on an engine, the higher the engine RPM. More RPM means more power. Triumph makes motorcycles using three cylinders and boy can they fly!

Four Cylinder Engines

The four cylinder engine is just like the three cylinder engine only it has the additional cylinder and therefore weighs more. As is true of any engine, more cylinders equal more power and smoother sailing.

It is important to consider how much size and power you require in your motorcycle. If you are taking your bike off road, you need a bike with plenty of torque and a low rpm to make it up hills and quickly navigate corners. For off roading, stick with a single cylinder. A double cylinder is your second choice.

If your main purpose for riding a motorcycle is riding through traffic and along roads, do not purchase a bike with less than a twin cylinder engine, although a three or four cylinder engine is a better idea.

Getting Clear about What Boat you Want to Buy

That's a great question, meaning you're seriously thinking about getting your first boat.
To answer that question, you'll have to think about how you will use your boat and define your specific needs.  So before you start searching the boat classified ads or go looking for a new boat for sale or used boat for sale, here's some of the things to think about to help you define what type of boat and how large a boat you need.

- What kinds of activities do you want to do - leisure boating, water sports such as water skiing, fishing or better yet travel and overnight excursions?

- What types of water will you use your boat in - small inland lakes, large inland lakes, waterways, bays or larger bodies of water?

- How many people do you need to accommodate while boating?

When it comes to fishing you can fish in small aluminum boat 10-12 feet with a small outboard. These are considered utility boats and are perfect for small inland lakes and ponds. They're relatively inexpensive, light and easy to move around.  And on calm days you can use them on larger lakes near shore. In terms of capacity, they can hold two adults or an adult and a child. Larger aluminum boats come in 16-18' range and can hold 4-6 persons.

Taking a step up you get into the 14-18 foot range which are considered small boats. They're available with an open or closed bow and in many varieties - from deck boats, ski boats to powerboats and fishing boats. Fishing, ski and deck boats have unique features for those activities.  Our first boat was a 14 foot Bayliner Bowrider, meaning it had an open bow and seating for two in the front. It also had 3 seats across in the rear.  It was good for 2 - 3 persons comfortably.  If I wanted to take my boys out cruising on a small inland lake, this would have been the perfect size. It was equipped with a 50HP Chrysler Force outboard and moved fairly well for a small boat. It was even capable of pulling a skier as long as the skier wasn't too heavy and the boat wasn't overloaded.  We skied with it when we pretty thin and there was only 1 or 2 persons in the boat - more than that and it had a difficult time pulling a person out of the water.  But it was fine for pulling tubes or other water accessories. We once had it out on a larger inland lake when the water was pretty choppy with 2 to 3 foot waves. That was pretty rough. The boat was bouncing around to the point where we had to get it out. If you're going to take a smaller boat out on larger waters, for example 14-16 footer, it's only enjoyable and safe when the water is fairly calm.  If you're target is general or recreational boating, then a powerboat or deck boat provides the ability to do a number of activities. But if you have a specific focus, like fishing or waters skiing, you'll want to take a closer look at boats in those categories.

Advantages: low to mid cost depending on whether you buy new or used, easy to trailer, launch and store, perfect for dad and kids in small to midsize lakes Disadvantages: minimal seating capacity, smaller engines means limited ability for recreation and sports.

If you're planning on larger parties and pulling adult skiers, you'll want to move up to the 18-24' range. These boats generally come with larger motors, outboards or inboards and hold 4 or more passengers comfortably. They're great on both small and larger lakes and because their depth or draft is relatively low, they're also good on shallow lakes.

Many of these boats come with large outboard motors or 4cyl., 6cyl. or even 8 cyl. engines.  Reliability is generally high and gas mileage is pretty good. You can also find 6 or 8 cylinder I/O's for added speed and power.

Advantages:  mid-cost range, fairly easy to trailer, launch and store, good for families and larger parties of 4-6

Disadvantages: generally without sleeping amenities, head or shower

If boating and sleeping over night is in your blood, you may need to consider 26 to 30' footer with a cuddy cabin. These boats offer usually offer sleeping for 4 or more, toilet, shower, and some include kitchen amenities. This size of boat is getting fairly large and you'll need a good size truck to pull it. These boats are perfect for the larger inland lakes and waterways. You can also get them out in the inlet waters off the coast or in bay areas in calm waters. In this size of boat you'll have the ability to cruise to different locations or hot spots for fishing, swimming, overnight camping and the like. They're fitted with larger gas tanks, around 100 gal and also hold 15-30 gallons of water. They provide large storage areas and amenities to keep every member of the family satisfied.

Advantages: ability to do a variety of boating recreational activities- from skiing, tubing, fishing and more

Disadvantages: more expensive than mid-size, requires a larger truck and trailer, more expensive to operate, store and maintain.

Lastly, if you want to spend even more time on the water, either traveling or overnight trips, you may be interested in 30-36' boat.  Now you're in the large size boat range or small size yacht range. These guys are not towed frequently. They are usually kept at a marina, stored and maintained there.  They generally have twin or triple inboard motors and outdrives and are well detailed inside and out.  You can easily sleep for 4 or more and you'll usually find a stove, refrigerator, TV, shower and toilet.

Advantages: ability to travel, stay overnight and enjoy all the comfort features of home
Disadvantages: cost is generally high to purchase, operate and maintain, also harder to trailer and store, usually done professionally

There are many boat manufacturers of all types and you have quite a large choice depending on where you're at and what your local dealers offer. Here's a few to get you going. Check these boat manufacturers out.

Utility /Small Boats: BRIG , Whitehall

Fishing Boats: Sea Swirl, NITRO, TRACKER, SYLVAN, LUND, SMOKER CRAFT, TROPHEY

Ski Boats: EPIC

Pontoon Boats: Sun Tracker, Manitou, TRACKER, Sunchaser, Premier, Gillgetter, Northwood

Power Boats: Bayliner, Sea Ray, MAXUM, Rinker, Four Winns, Wellcraft

Race /Cruisers: Formula, Fountain

Yachts: TIARA

Well, that should give you some things to think about.  Look around, shop around and also talk to your friends that already own a boat. They'll be able to offer some great advice. But it's more important to really figure out what you want to do and where you want to do it.  If you do that before you go out and start searching your local boat classified ads or start looking at new boats for sale or used boats for sale, you'll be well on your way to deciding what type of boat and how big a boat you really need to buy.  And remember, it's not the size that counts, it's just being on the water!
