If you're going to insult someone, at least make sure the term of abuse is spelt correctly

Effective capacity of one rotor face is 654cc. So two rotors will give the 1.3 that some people quote.

However, due to the way in which the rotors interact with the housing, there are always four faces involved in compressing/burning fuel, so the 1.3 is technically doubled to 2.6.

Odd thing is that it can be taxed as 1.3, but insurance will treat it as a 2.6. Bastards.
