Each of the three cylinders has a capacity of more than 819 cubic centimeters. The total displacement happens to be 2458 ccs, which is more than the displacement of practically all compact vehicles!

Harley Davidson CVO
The Harley-Davidson CVOs are the next-largest on our list of huge bikes, with 117 cubic inches, or 1,923 ccs in displacement. The Milwaukee-Eight 117 happens to be the largest Harley-largest Davidson engine. As a matter of fact, it only appears in the CVO series of completely customizable, limited-edition motorcycles that come straight from manufacturers. CVO is an abbreviation for Custom Operations. CVO began the operations a little more than twenty years ago, and higher displacements were only an improvement seen on the motorcycles.
Indian Thunderstroke 116
The Thunderstroke 116 represents India's biggest engine, the V-Twin, with 116 cubic inches (around 1,890 ccs) of displacement. It's offered in the Limited & Dark Horse trim levels on certain Roadmaster, Springfield, and Chieftain models.

Milwaukee-Eight 114
It's available in a variety of Cruiser & Touring models is Harley-largest non-CVO engine. And the V-Twin has a 1,868 cc displacement and produces torque ranging between 119 and 122 lb-ft.
Honda Goldwing
The Honda Goldwing is a motorbike classic for comfort. Besides smooth-riding features like the double-wishbone suspension and optional transmission, the Goldwing has a one-of-a-kind flat-six engine alongside the displacement of 1,833 cubic centimeters.
BMW R 18

In many respects, that's a definitive BMW motorbike. It draws on the 100-year heritage, much of which was spent building bikes while also incorporating cutting-edge technologies. The famous BMW motorcycles of the past always had flat engines. Meaning, one cylinder on either side jutting straight out laterally from its center!
Boulevard M109R B.O.S.S.
The standard Boulevard has really become popular these days, but it offers some unique surprises. Firstly, the 109 in M109R refers to the 109 cubic inches of its displacement or 1,783 cubic centimeters. On the model, multiple components get blacked out. And the blacked-out engine happens to be the main attraction, producing 128 horsepower & 118 lb-ft. At 112 mm or 4.4 inches, the aluminum alloy pistons are apparently broad. The dry-sump lubrication system contributes to the low engine profile.
Kawasaki Vulcan
The Vaquero does not have a windshield, but Voyager includes a large windshield with additional features. Both have the liquid-cooled fuel-injected V-Twin engine, producing 108 lb-ft torque at 2,750 rpm. Integrated baggage, cruise control, a backrest for the companion, and securely affixed to its frame make the experience all the more comfortable for long distances.
Yamaha VMAX
The VMAX gets powered by a distinctively cool and transverse-mounted displacing 1,679 ccs. That's enough to call it 1700 in case you worked in marketing. According to the estimates, it has 174 horsepower & 113 pound-feet of torque at its wheels.
BMW K 1600 GTL
When it comes to crossing the continents, the BMW K 1600 GTL comes to mind. It is maybe the ideal cross-country option for your hard-earned deutschmark. It sports the inline 6-cylinder engine that distributes all 1,649 ccs evenly over six cylinders — six!
Moto Guzzi MGX-21
The Moto Guzzi happens to be the brand steeped in flair & propelled by torque. And the torque comes from around 1,380 ccs of distinctively V-Twin, with a head jutting out on each side of that frame, in the MGX-21 & a couple of Guzzi's other bigger models.

Now that you have learned the ten biggest displacement bikes, you can decide on investing in the right motorcycle accordingly.
