Why do we use CC’s for motorcycle engines?

494 views

I understand that CC’s = mL’s, but CC’s is something that I have always associated with the medical field.. so how did motorcycles get roped into that? Is it just easier to say “I have a 250cc dirt bike” rather than saying “250mL?”

Volume is volume, doesn’t matter if you say cubic centimeter or milliliter, it’s the same thing. There is no association with this or that field or industry, this is not imperial system where a farmers volume is different from a barman’s volume, volume is volume, an abstract concept separate from a practical use case.
