Well Perry when the motorcycle was brought to life in the old days they did infact call it a motor,so thats where motorcycle came from.
Now we are in the 21 century,things have changed,gearheads have have paved the way,some people still call it a motor infact,some times in sentances its called motor,example
What did it run on all motor?)
(Meaning without any enhancers. Nos etc.poweradders)
Ok now slowman is right with this terminoligy,Engine.
An engine runs on gasoline,and a motor runs on electricity.
So now Perry,how long is the extension cord for your motorcycle?
My motorcycle runs on gas,does yours? Its confusing, LOL
Thats how it was explained to me a few years ago,some engine builders take offense to it being called a motor
So with that said,I try to pick my words and call it an engine,and some times,I said some times I'll say mototr but very little.
Some of the engine builders will chime in here I am sure and help me out.
Thats my .10 cents on the Engine, Motor deal :roll:
