Once upon a time, a single-cylinder configuration was the most common of all engine layouts in motorcycles. Inline fours hadn't taken off due to manufacturing complexities, while V-twins and parallel engines were reserved for the sporty stuff.

Fast forward 60 years, though, and the landscape of motorcycle design is a very different one indeed. Now it’s the multi-cylinder engines that rule the roost and the single-cylinder layout, in full-size bikes at least, is more of an oddity.

And that’s a shame because there is a lot of good that comes from a big single! The power delivery for one thing is something that no other configuration can replicate. With the evenly spaced pulses from the engine providing the rider with a dependable and user-friendly spread of torque and that’s before we’ve even mentioned the sound...

00:00 BSA in over 50 years arrived at the end of 2022 as a retro roadster powered by a 652 cubic centimeters liquid cooled, but looking like an air cooled single producing 45 brake horsepower.

00:12 It's a great alternative to the similar twins from Royal Enfield and Triumph.

00:17 Royal Enfield's old 500 singles The Roadster Scram fills the slot as being the Indian built Mark's biggest air cooled single.

00:23 It's other big single offering being the new liquid cooled Himalayan 450 adventure bike.

00:28 It's effectively A stripped back more St.

00:30 version of the old Himalayan and uses that bike's 24.3 brake horsepower motor and monoshock chassis, but with added street style.

00:38 Fantic is a mixture of retro charm and real off-road ability.

00:41 Back in the 70s, Fantic's range was mainly composed of funky looking mopeds with psychedelic graphics and obscure design touches.

00:49 To legitimize their wacky lineup, Fantic also took to the motocross tracks and enduro competitions.

00:55 The Swedish slash Austrian brands biggest remaining St.

00:58 single is now its Husqvarna's 701 Supermoto.

01:01 It's powered by the same 693 cubic centimeters liquid cooled single producing 71 brake horsepower which was in the old smart pylon is impressively punchy and dynamic and arguably not for the faint hearted.

01:13 Himalayan 450 cubic centimeters big single may still be fairly low on power at 40 brake horsepower claimed, but the modest output is more than compensated for by a flexible and willing delivery.

01:25 The original 411 cubic centimeters air cooled Himalayan budget adventure bike, as launched for the UK in 2016, proved a big hit for its combination of value, versatility and character.

01:37 Since the British brand launched its funky looking single cylinder machines at the tail end of 2016, the Spitfire has become something of a PR dream for the firm.

01:46 CCM's GP450 Adventure machine was phased out.

01:50 The Spitfire uses a BMW designed and Husqvarna built engine that produces 55 brake horsepower and 43 lbs FT of torque.

01:58 The A JP PR7 is a full on the 600 cubic centimeters rally style motorcycle.

02:03 It's powered by a single water cooled engine that is more Dakar rally than bimbling along the Highlands.

02:08 This is a bike for pro level off-road riders though, with its huge 920mm seat height helping to rule out the less experienced among us with 300mm of travel front and rear 310mm of ground clearance.

02:22 British brand Harold Brute is its most ambitious and biggest bike yet.

02:26 It's powered by a liquid cooled 500 cubic centimeters single producing a healthy 42.9 brake horsepower, has adjustable race tech front and rear suspension with a monoshock rear, and features stylish St.

02:38 single styling with detailed touches which include a digital dash, LED lights and more.

02:43 Mash is a French motorcycle brand that offers a range of mostly lightweight and middleweight singles derived from Chinese components.

02:50 The X Ride 650 Classic is currently its biggest offering and uses a revived version of Honda's old 644 cubic centimeters air cooled single in a classic trail bike style chassis that reminds, visually at least, of Yamaha's 1970s XT500.
