Longitudinal runner
The installation position of an internal combustion engine , especially in motorcycles , is referred to as the in-line rotor . The crankshaft of the engine is installed at right angles to the direction of travel of the motorcycle and rotates alongside it - hence the term "inline rotor" - which is available as a single-cylinder engine , two-cylinder engine , three-cylinder engine , four-cylinder engine and six-cylinder engine . According to Helmut Hütten, “in the past, according to an old standard and at BMW”, the term was to be understood exactly the other way around. The wheels [of a motorcycle] thus had "a highly undesirable transverse run".
