Diamo Aero GTX 50 scooter.. are these good quality scooters?
Harley uses cc's for the Sportster engines (883, 1200), The bigger engines are usually in CID although they are also listed in cc's for those that can't do converison. They really don't want most people to know that the big Metric Cruisers have bigger engines. It started because they were an american company and their engineers never learned the metric system (great education system we have). Harley is big on tradition so they are hard pressed to change with the times.I have an 2006 Kawasaki Vulcan Mean streak1600cc, I still want more pick up from it . Any ideas?

My somewhat educated guess would be because Harley prides itself on being an "American" motorcycle, and 40 years ago in muscle-cardom (you know, the American age of yore, with all the hippies and protesters?) all engines were measured in displacement by cubic inches, not cubic centimeters or even liters.
Harley is an American made machine and they go by the old imperial standard. CID-cubic inch displacement. CC refers to cubic centimetres which is metric.

Harley engines generally have much less power for any given engine size than a Japanese or European bike. So, in an effort to avoid unfavorable comparisons with Jap bikes (which of course use CC's), Harley talks in cubic inches.

It took a long time for the American auto manufacturers to start using the metric system. It only makes sense that Harley would hang a little further behind. They do list the ccs, they just don't make a big deal of it. An 88" is 1450cc.More Questions & Answers ...
