Wow. I am shocked at how bad these answers are.
LukesDP-CC specifically means Cubic Centimeters, not inches or "L" you are correct about the way displacement is measured, though it is not "air" just the volume of a column defined by the diameter of the piston and the length of the stroke..
Vettle1 is accurate, but could be clearer in the four functions-
intake, compression, power, exhaust.
From Sinvras-"CC means Cubic Capacity. Higher the CC higher is the pick up of the engine and higher is the fuel consumption." that is just stupid.
Brian P-"CC actually denotes the cubic capacity of the cylinder of the engine on a bike. Thats the volume of fuel - air ratio that will be subjected to combustion. This is what produces power in the bike.
However the efficiency at which this fuel-air mixture after combustion would be converted to Brake horse power in the wheels would vary.
A larger cc bike would normally have a higher amount of power output, however if the engine were marginally smaller but more efficient it may produce more power.
Power output too is subjective. A large truck, like the Kenworth,may produce 350 Horse power, the same amount of power produced by a top of the line vehicle like a Mercedeze or BMW, however a Kenworth produces this power at 1200 rpm or near idling speed without the risk of overheating the engine, and would be able to produce this power consistently for very long periods of time, so long as it does not run out of fuel. However a car would produce this power at 5000- 6000 rpm. It would not be able to run at this high speed for very long periods of time without overheating. The manufacturers figure that at this speed it would run at over 200 Km/hour, it wouldnt practically have to run at this high speed for very long, as it would eventually run out of road, so it would eventually slow down after running thus for a relatively short period of time."
WHAT?!? Are you drunk?
vankstwer -CC is a metric measurement that is used to show displacement in a internal combustion engine. CC=cubic cintimeters. As you noticed in most of your line of motorcycles that are on the market, (being majority japanese) Thats why you see the motor and model names being named off in letters following by #'s. (yz1100) Take notice to harley davidson motorcycles, The engines are shown in displacement by standard measurements (81cid) Cubic inches in diameter. As for the type of motor dirt bikes mostly have 2 stroke engines, an engine that has a combustion cycle on every revolution. 4 cycle motors its every other revolution.
English isn't great but a decent answer.
In general the larger the displacement of the engine, the more power it will make. For a given displacement a two stroke will be more powerful than a four, but over a narrower RPM range and it will burn more gas. Most motorcycle engines are less than one liter, so the engine displacement is given in CCs like the CRF 250, whereas most cars are over a liter so they are quoted in liters, like the 5.0 Liter Mustang back in the day.

cc is cubic centimeters/ci=cubic inch
2 stroke means all (4) swquences are accomplished in 2
4 means it uses all 4
4 strokes have more torque and power through all ranges
2 strokes have less low end power but have a high power band (an area in the rpm range where the engine runs most effecient and the hp is increased over its 4 stroke brother of the same cc
this is a very short explaination. im sure you could find out more about 2 and 4 stroke engines if you googled it.

CC means Cubic Capacity. Higher the CC higher is the pick up of the engine and higher is the fuel consumption.

CC i bielieve is the displacement of the engine, in cubic inches. or L. if you know how engines work, that is the amount of air that can fit between the top of the pistion between its top and bottom positions, for every piston. however, this does not translate directly to power, horsepower does. and it has some awkward way of beign measured. anyways, just read up all things engine at howstuffworks.com its oversimplified and easy to learn
