Single-cylinder motorcycles are mostly synonymous with bread-and-butter rides. The simple construction of a single-cylinder engine (both for two-strokes and four-strokes) makes it a perfect power source for an inexpensive motorcycle. This was also the ideology followed by all major automakers just after the Second World War. As a result, we got tiny single-cylinder motorcycles in the '60s, '70s, and '80s from Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki, and Ducati, to name a few.

10 Smallest Single-Cylinder Engines Ever On A Production Motorcycle

Kawasaki’s Ninja lineup has been in production since 1984. The first model to get the ‘Ninja’ designation was the iconic GPz900R, which immediately bagged the fastest production motorcycle title at the time. No wonder it went on to become a movie star in its own right. Fast forward forty years, and the Ninja series of motorcycles is still going strong globally.

A global stop-sale affecting a significant portion of BMW’s model lineup has caused disruptions for many dealerships, potentially impacting hundreds of thousands of vehicles worldwide. The news first broke in Australia, reported by CarExpert. The delivery halt, which affects both new and used vehicles, has left approximately 30,000 cars undelivered in Australia, with the global impact remaining unclear until BMW identifies which models require rectification. BMW Germany also confirmed for BimmerToday that the recall is currently being extended in the form of a delivery stop, with around 175,000 vehicles affected in Germany alone.

Yamaha is perhaps the first to employ the motorcycle equivalent of paddle shifters on its upcoming MT-09 variant, foregoing the shift pedal and clutch entirely.

Yamaha MT-09 Y-AMT: How The Semi-Automatic Transmission Works On This New Bike

The T-56 six-speed manual transmission has had a very interesting history. Originally made by BorgWarner and appearing first in the 1992 Dodge Viper with its special V10 engine, the T-56 showed up next in GM's 1993 Firebird Trans Am and Camaro Z28 F-body pony cars — as an antidote to problems with the existing T-5 five-speed. The T-5 was small and easy to package in a variety of vehicles, but it was torque-limited to 330 lb-ft at a time when a new horsepower war was getting started in Detroit. The new T-56 six-speed was the solution, with its ability to handle 450 lb-ft of torque without any issues.

Being a small automaker is fraught with challenges, but sometimes, it can be a benefit, as Austrian outfit KTM is demonstrating with the latest revision of the X-Bow GT-XR. It's still powered by the 2.5-liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine from the Audi RS3 - delivering 493 horsepower and 429 lb-ft of torque - but small changes to the cabin aim to increase the daily usability of the street-legal monster.

KTM X-BOW GT-XR Is More Streetable Than Before, But Not By Much

Honda has long been known for producing some of the most reliable and fuel-efficient vehicles in the market. And while Honda has been stepping up its game by making its cars more luxurious over the years, buyers have always had to turn to Acura for their luxury fix. Acura is Honda's luxury division, after all.

The Honda With More Luxury Than A Lexus... And It's Not An Acura

Chances are if you're at all familiar with cars, you've heard of the Toyota Motor Company. It has been around since the 1930s, delivering cars, trucks, and SUVs of varying quality and price to drivers. Toyota has grown to become a global juggernaut as well, manufacturing its vehicles in multiple different countries. While there are some used Toyota models you should steer clear of at all costs, there are also loads of new and used ones worth buying. Of course, it finds its roots in and is currently headquartered in Japan, so it's no surprise that many of its models are built there.

Honda has not released a V8-powered car, but they do have a V8 engine - just not for cars. Look to boats for the Honda V8 experience. Honda sticks to smaller, more efficient engines for their cars, utilizing VTEC technology for big power in their vehicles without a V8 engine.

The big trend right now is taking otherwise incapable SUVs and trying to make them appear more rugged. Slap on some tougher tires, tweak the ride, give it a not-so-clever name—and voila, an "off-road capable" SUV. The 2024 Honda Passport TrailSport is no exception to the rule. It gets...

Ariel, the UK-based brand behind the iconic Atom track performer, has unveiled the E-Nomad concept, an all-electric version of the new Nomad 2 off-roader. Powered by a rear-mounted electric motor and a 41 kWh battery, the E-Nomad produces a healthy 281 hp and 361 lb-ft of torque. Ariel says this allows the e-Nomad to accelerate from 0-60 mph in just 3.4 seconds.

It is an end of an era for Honda. The Japanese motorcycle manufacturer has announced that the iconic Honda Super Cub 50 will disappear from the Japanese market in May 2025. The Super Cub—which introduced many riders to two-wheelers even in the U.S., thanks to the famous “You meet the nicest people on a Honda” campaign—has been suffering from poor sales for years. The rise of electric low-powered mopeds and scooters has meant fewer and fewer people are choosing the legendary 50cc moped.

Acura began its history in 1986 as the luxury division of the Honda Motor Company. It was the first luxury brand to go to market, beating both Lexus and Infiniti. The purpose of the Acura brand was to sell luxury versions of Honda vehicles outside Japan, in order to appeal to a broader, growing market at the time. Honda was able to go on selling commuter cars, while Acura catered to those with heavier pocketbooks.

We love the 2024 Acura Integra Type S. It takes all the good things about the Honda Type R and civilizes them just enough for even friendlier everyday use—with no impact on ultimate performance. We’d thought that was enough, until Acura’s Monterey Car Week reveal of a new prototype Integra Type S HRC Concept. Now we're wondering whether the Type R moniker (which once adorned an Integra here in America...) is off-limits for Acura, or whether parent company Honda would be willing to loan it out for a hardcore Integra like this.
