[0005] In the prior art, the outer surface of the cylinder head is provided with multiple layers of cooling fins. During the driving of the motorcycle, the cooling fins enable the engine to dissipate heat quickly.

[0018] 2. The cylinder head body is also provided with multiple reinforcing ribs, which are connected by the compact structure in the cavity to make the overall structure of the cylinder head more stable, and also reduce the vibration caused by the movement of the valve train.
