The Trojan two-stroke, as used from 1913 in the Trojan car in the UK, was independently invented but would now be described as a split-single. Photos of a 1927 "twin" model at the London Science Museum show the internals. [6] The "fore-and-aft" layout of the cylinders means that the V-shaped connecting rod has to flex slightly with each revolution.

The V Due was a 500cc V-twin two-stroke motorcycle first manufactured by Bimota in 1997. Technical specs included the first electronically controlled direct fuel injection on a two-stroke bike, cassette type gearbox and dry clutch. Its power-to-weight ratio surpassed almost all sports bikes of the day. The first production run of 150 bikes ...
But the company wasn't doing well and in the lean years following World War II racing and luxury machines were sidelined in favour of cheap two-stroke engines. After the war, they used Villiers engines to make the 250 cc Viking and in 1949 they used their own engine for the Talisman, a smooth two-stroke with 180-degree crank.

In the early 1960s, the company was taken over by Manganese Bronze Holdings , and in 1966 together with AMC became Norton-Villiers , and in 1973 merged with the BSA group to become Norton ...
Around 1918 the first two-stroke engine was developed to motorize the tamper. The plant expanded across from the railway system in nearby Pinneberg. The tamper machine was sold to Krupp in 1922 to concentrate on motors for motorcycles and small trucks. 1927 a bicycle auxiliary motor was developed and, in 1929 two-stroke ILO engines for ...
The engine is a V-twin four-stroke, 895 cc (54.6 cu in) or 993 cc (60.6 cu in) displacement, fan-driven air-cooled, gasoline engine design.The larger displacement is achieved by increasing the stroke from 78 to 87 mm (3.1 to 3.4 in), but using the same bore of 86 mm (3.4 in).
