Take an example of two cylinder engine; A parallel engine goes firing for every 360 degree rotation, while an inline goes firing for every 180 degrees.

Means, on an inline engine, when one piston goes up, the other comes down. But in the case of parallel, both goes up & down together.

Additional information - Straight-two engine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ninja 250R, Triumph Bonneville are some motorcycles running on parallel twin.
