Abstract

A motorcycle engine (20) is disclosed for mounting in a motorcycle (10) such that cylinders (80) in the engine are all inclined towards the rear of the motorcycle. This configuration can allow the engine to be mounted further forwards in the motorcycle, giving rise to advantages in the design of the motorcycle, including allowing a more compact engine. Further aspects include features of a powertrain of such a motorcycle, including components of the engine, and further components of such a motorcycle or engine.
