A motorcycle engine is an engine that powers a motorcycle . Motorcycle engines are typically two-stroke or four-stroke internal combustion engines , but other engine types, such as Wankels and electric motors , have been used in small numbers. Although some mopeds , such as the VĂ©loSoleX , had friction drive to the front tire, a motorcycle engine drives the rear wheel, power being sent to the driven wheel by belt, chain or shaft. Most engines have a gearbox with up to six ratios. Reverse gear is occasionally found on heavy tourers , for example the Honda GL1600 , and sidecar motorcycles, such as the Ural . The rider changes gears on most motorcycles using a foot-pedal and manual clutch, but early models had hand-levers. More recently, some have automatic or semi-automatic gear
