  2. World Motorcycle Test Cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Motorcycle_Test_Cycle

    The motorcycle is then accelerated and braked in a variety of patterns to represent a particular type of real-world operation. Therefore, statistical conclusions on pollutants emitted or fuel consumed by a variety of vehicles and testers (e.g. manufacturers) can be: compared directly to each other; used for assessments against legislative controls

  3. List of motorcycles by type of engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_motorcycles_by...

    List of motorcycles by type of engine is a list of motorcycles by the type of motorcycle engine used by the vehicle, such as by the number of cylinders or configuration.. A transverse engine is an engine mounted in a vehicle so that the engine's crankshaft axis is perpendicular to the direction of travel.

  4. Motorcycle testing and measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorcycle_testing_and...

    Motorcycle testing and measurement includes a range of more than two dozen statistics giving the specifications of the motorcycle, and the actual performance, expressed by such things as the output of the engine, and the top speed or acceleration of the motorcycle. Most parameters are uncontroversial and claims made by manufacturers are ...

  5. Fuel efficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_efficiency

    Fuel consumption is a more accurate measure of a vehicle's performance because it is a linear relationship while fuel economy leads to distortions in efficiency improvements. [2] Weight-specific efficiency (efficiency per unit weight) may be stated for freight , and passenger-specific efficiency (vehicle efficiency per passenger) for passenger ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yamaha_SR400_&_SR500

    Fuel consumption 4.8 L/100 km (59 mpg ‑imp ; 49 mpg ‑US ) [ citation needed ] The Yamaha SR400 (1978–2021) and SR500 (1978–1999) are single-cylinder , air-cooled, two-passenger motorcycles manufactured in Japan by Yamaha Motor Company as a street version of the Yamaha XT500 , with a standard riding posture and styling recalling the ...

  7. Energy efficiency in transport - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_efficiency_in_transport

    Automobile fuel efficiency is most commonly expressed in terms of the volume of fuel consumed per one hundred kilometres (l/100 km), but in some countries (including the United States, the United Kingdom and India) it is more commonly expressed in terms of the distance per volume fuel consumed (km/L or miles per gallon). This is complicated by ...

  8. Thrust-specific fuel consumption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrust-specific_fuel...

    Thrust-specific fuel consumption (TSFC) is the fuel efficiency of an engine design with respect to thrust output. TSFC may also be thought of as fuel consumption (grams/second) per unit of thrust (newtons, or N), hence thrust-specific .

  9. Consumption map - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consumption_map

    A consumption map or efficiency map [1] is a chart that displays the brake-specific fuel consumption of an internal combustion engine at a given rotational speed and mean effective pressure, in grams per kilowatt-hour (g/kWh). The map contains each possible condition combining rotational speed and mean effective pressure.
