Two stroke V-twin engines would seem to provide the best of both worlds; the high RPM and power density of a two stroke, and the large displacement and efficient packaging of a V-Twin.
HistoryV-Twin Engines have been used since their debut in the 1911 Morgan Three-wheeler, and two stroke engines have been around since 1881.
V-Twin engines are defined as having two cylinders arranged in a V-formation, and as using a crankshaft with a common arm to which both cylinder's connecting rods are attached.
Two Stroke Engines
Two stroke engines have only two cycles: intake and combustion on the piston up-stroke, and power and exhaust on the down-stroke. Two-stroke engines gennerally produce little low-end torque, but fantastic high-RPM power.
Because they lack the valve-train required by 4-stroke engines, V-twin two strokes tend to be very light and powerful. Their narrow profile makes them ideal for motorcycles.
These engines use a mixture of gasoline and oil for fuel, which makes them ecologically harmful, and their inefficiency give them relatively bad fuel economy.

"V" represents the opposing positions of the cylinders, just like a V-8 engine. The bottom of the "V" in the location of the crankshaft and each leg is the cylinders. "Twin" simply means there are 2 cylinders on each leg of the "V". Therefore a "V-twin" is a 4 cylinder engine.

An "L" configured engine is also referred to as a "V" engine. In a 90 degree V configuration the engine may be referred to as an "L", such as with a Ducati motorcycle. L-twin - 2 cylinders 90 degrees apart (shaped like the letter L). When the cylinders are less than 90 degrees apart, such as with a Harley-Davidson, it is referred to as a V-twin.

A twin cam is an engine that has two cam shafts (which open and close the valves). The most common reasons for two camshafts are: If a V-shaped engine design uses one cam shaft for each side of the V - obviously, if a V engine has overhead cams, you would need a cam at the top of each side of the V. Also, a straight in-line engine with two intake valves and two exhaust valves per cylinder might use twin camshafts. Actually, I V-6 or V-8 engine with one camshaft on each head in a overhead cam configuration is still considered a single overhead cam. The only time an engine is classified as a twin cam or double overhead cam is when there are two camshafts on each cylinder head. A double overhead cam V-6 engine would have a total of four camshafts. Two for each head.
