"Good sound" in motorcycles: inline four-cylinder engine


Referring to the "good voice" in motorcycles, I believe that the answer must be equipped with a four-cylinder motorcycle. It is undeniable that the in-line four-cylinder engine has high-efficiency and smooth power output in addition to good sound. With these two points, the in-line four-cylinder engine has already occupied an absolute dominant position in the hearts of fans.

Today, let's talk about the motorcycle in-line four-cylinder engine! Let's experience the in-line four-cylinder engine through a motorcycle sound wave video, let the sound of the dreams accompany you to continue to look down.

The history of the world's first motorcycle in-line four-cylinder engine dates back to 1899, when Sir Henry Capel of the United Kingdom built the world's first in-line four-cylinder motorcycle and was developed by the Belgian FNMotorcycle. Since the in-line four-cylinder engine did not have a gearbox and clutch at the time, the body developed by FNMotorcycle could easily accommodate the in-line four-cylinder engine at that time, in fact, the engine was directly arranged in the middle of the car body. At the time, this motorcycle was very unique in its styling and had a place in the historical position.

Although the in-line four-cylinder engine motorcycle was born in 1899, the in-line four-cylinder technology was buried in the European two-cylinder engine and the single-cylinder engine for more than half a century. Until the 1960s, the in-line four-cylinder engine was Japanese manufacturers dig out and start to shine.

The first Japanese manufacturer to actively develop and manufacture in-line four-cylinder motorcycles was Honda. At the time, Honda’s Shoichiro launched the CB750 in 1968. The four-cylinder CB750 was sold at the same price as the European old-fashioned twin-cylinder motorcycle. However, with better quality and performance, the CB750 has been highly praised by fans in the European market.

After seeing Honda's glory in the European market through the in-line four-cylinder engine, the same Kawasaki brand in Japan also began to develop its own in-line four-cylinder motorcycle to fight against the Honda CB750. In 1973, the Kawasaki Z1 was officially unveiled. After the listing, it overtook the CB750. It became the king of sports street cars at that time. After this period, the real four-cylinder dynasty began to rise.

At the same time that the in-line four-cylinder street car competition was fierce, after 1984, the in-line four-cylinder sports car battles of major manufacturers began to start. Japanese manufacturers as the "main battlefield" created nearly two hundred horsepower and 250 km/h. A variety of excellent sports cars, for the sports car fans at the time is simply a time full of gospel.

The reason why the in-line four-cylinder engine can dominate the motorcycle is mainly from the perfect combination of power and volume. Although the power is not as strong as the inline six-cylinder engine, the volume is much smaller than the bulky six-cylinder. The in-line four-cylinder engine has designed a simple and clear position for the exhaust system. Although the in-line four-cylinder will be at a disadvantage compared to the width of the two-cylinder engine, with the advancement of technology, the use of aluminum alloy cylinders and pistons is extensive. It also effectively makes the current inline four-cylinder engine more narrow and compact than in the past, and its life is also increased by tens of thousands of kilometers of durability due to the wear-resistant coating.

In terms of power, the advantage of the in-line four-cylinder engine is the horsepower explosion at high speeds. This is why some people are riding in an in-line four-cylinder motorcycle. After experiencing high horsepower and smooth and stable power, they are completely inline. The outstanding performance of the four-cylinder engine is deeply attracted.

Although the motorcycles of the in-line four-cylinder engine still have high popularity from the current point of view, it is obviously beginning to shrink slowly under the general trend. In addition, in recent years, the performance of the two-cylinder motorcycle and the three-cylinder motorcycle gradually Factors such as improved, more savvy control, and relatively cheaper cost make the in-line four-cylinder model somewhat “squeaky”.

But then again, the author feels that the in-line four-cylinder motorcycle will definitely return to the market. After all, from now on, Benaili Huanglong 600, even if there is more scandal, because it is straight four, still sales top, and not long ago Why did the Haojue 750 get such a high attention? Not because it is an inline four-cylinder engine!
