Talk:Single-cylinder engine

I was thinking of adding a mention of the fastest production vehicle with one cylinder. The fastest I know of is the Piaggio X9 at 98mph; does anyone know of a faster one? --Kufat 02:09, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Wonder what this would do with an ATK Intimidator 700, KTM 550 mxc, CR/KX 500AF^[1], Maico 490 or similar Ring Ding Ding motor block fitted...

English?

Who wrote this page? Some of the "words" aren't even words! o_O

other engines?

It should be mentioned that single cylinder engines are also used for model aeroplanes and cars, lawnmowers, chainsaws, brushcutters etc. Why so focused on motorcycles?

Also, most steam engines were single cylinder. Is the page about IC engines only? doesn't say so in the heading...
