The German language rocks.
Why, yes, it does (well, no, not really).
We
do have many rocking words, though. And this thing isn't just any
Doppelkolbenmotor, it's a
Zweitaktdoppelkolbenmotor, or
Doppelkolbenzweitaktmotor, if you like. But since there aren't any
Doppelkolbenviertaktmotoren out there, that's a moot distinction, really.
It was created to enable
Zweitaktmotoren* to have
Gleichstromspülung** and
Aufladbarkeit***!
Apparently, putting one of these in your
Kraftrad**** will result in vibrations almost as low as with a
Boxermotor*****.
Of course, only the
Kreiskolbenmotor****** will be truly free of naughty vibes.
* two stroke engine
** uniflow scavenging
*** chargeability, i.e. the possibility to use forced aspiration
**** legalese for motorcycle, literally: "force cycle"
***** flat twin engine
****** rotating piston engine, i.e.: a wankel
It does sound nice, I think:

They made a 500cc version with two dual-piston double-cylinders, so four cylinders and four pistons working as two cylinders (man, this gets confusing fast), but I couldn't find vid of it.
