Engine displament in Cubic Centimeters.
In automotive terms we originally used Cubic Inche Displacement (CID) and had such numbers as 289, 327, 305, 350, 454, 400, etc. Then as cars started being imported from countries where the metric system is used the size specifications turned to Liters (4.8, 5.0, 5.4,etc). A centimeter is 100th of a liter so a 1,500CC is actually a 1.5liter. A cubic liter works out to be about 1/60 of a cubic inch. For example a Ford 5.0 liter is actually a 302. So if you take the same 1,500cc convert it to 1.5liter and then multply that by 60 you get a 90cid motor.
There ya go. Hope this helps!

C.C. stands for Cubic Centimeters. It is unit of measuring Volume and in Motorcyces it measures volume swept by pistons in engines.
Almost all commercially available motorcycles are driven by conventional gasoline internal combustion engines.
The Displacement is defined as the total volume of air/fuel mixture an engine can draw in during one complete engine cycle. In a piston engine, this is the volume that is swept as the pistons are moved from top dead center to bottom dead center. To the layperson this is the "size" of the engine.

Cubic Centimeters = The actual volume in all the cylinders of the engine.
If you took pre-algebra and/or basic geometry, they taught you how to figure the volume in a cylinder.
It's diameter (measure across) x diameter x height x .7854
So, if you have a single-cylinder engine with a bore of 50mm and a stroke of 47mm, you would first need to change mm to cm by moving the decimal point one to the left. Then, do the math:
5.0 x 5.0 x 4.7 x .7854 = 92.2845 cc's.
If it's a twin, then just x2, a four cylinder x4, etc.

Cubic centimeters. It describes the size of the motor like 600cc or 900cc much like a 5.0 mustang means the motor size is 5 liters. Hope that helps

Cubic Capacity. It's the capacity of cylinder (size) all engines including cars are measures this way. A bike in most cases is less than 1 litre so the engine is measures in CC's a 3.8 Litre car engine is 3800 CC's

"C.C."="cubic centimeter(s)"---as in the size of the space that the piston(s) displace/compact in the motor---the bigger,and usually, the more powerful the motor---the greater /higher the "C.C." displacement number will be!!!

Cubic centimeters. It refers to combustion chamber displacement, the space in the combustion chambers. More space allows for more combustion, hence more power. Sometimes, especially in past US and UK makes, the figure was stated in cubic inches.

cc is cubic centimeter. it is the capacity or volume of the cylinder in the engine. in cars it is also litre, you might have heard in cars 2 litre engine. more is the cc less is the milage.
and bhp is another thing. it is the unit of power in vehicle.bhp stands for brake horse power.

cubic centimeters, it refers to the volume inside of a motorcycle cylinder.Example a fifty has fifty ccs of cylinder. remember math? Its just how they say what size the motor is

it means cubic centimeter
it is the volume of the interior (combustion chamber) part of the engine where the fuel burns out and produces smoke,energy..
