1. A motorcycle heat exchanger, comprising:
a housing;
a single supply connection via which a fluid is supplied to the motorcycle heat exchanger;
a single return connection via which cooled fluid is discharged from the motorcycle heat exchanger; and
a heat exchange region in which the fluid interacts with a medium in order to be cooled where the fluid discharges heat energy to the medium during operation of the motorcycle, wherein
the single supply connection and the single return connection are arranged next to each other on a same side of the housing located in a lower corner region of the housing in an installation position of the motorcycle heat exchanger,
the heat exchange region comprises a plurality of heat exchanger tubes through which the fluid flows from the same side to a side opposite the same side,
a single discharge tube leads from the side opposite the same side to the single return connection, and
a hydraulic diameter of the single discharge tube is equal to a hydraulic diameter of a sum of all heat exchanger tubes.
