A distinctive feature of the PC50 is the use of a four-stroke engine, at a time almost all pedal-equipped mopeds used two-stroke engines. Honda's early development of 50 cc four-stroke engines was a result of Soichiro Honda's dislike of the sharp noise of two-stroke engines. [2] The PC50 used two different engines during its production.
Synfig Studio (also known as Synfig) is a free and open-source vector-based 2D animation software. [3] It is created by Robert Quattlebaum [4] with additional contributions by Adrian Bentley. Synfig began as the custom animation platform for Voria Studios (now defunct), [5] and in 2005 was released as free/open source software, under GNU GPL-2. ...

It typically falls into class with other two-stroke 50cc road bikes such as the Yamaha YSR50, but is also commonly classed with up to 110cc four-stroke bikes. The NSR50's engine (designated as AC08E), is a horizontal, single cylinder, water-cooled, two-stroke engine that uses piston port injection. It has an inner diameter x stroke = 39.0x41.4 ...
Two-stroke motorcycles are a type of internal combustion engine that completes a power cycle with two strokes of the piston during only one crankshaft revolution.
Two-stroke engines often have a higher power-to-weight ratio than a four-stroke engine, since their power stroke occurs twice as often. Two-stroke engines can also have fewer moving parts, and thus be cheaper to manufacture and weigh less. In countries and regions with stringent emissions regulation, two-stroke engines have been phased out in ...
The change and long-term commitment to the more sophisticated four-stroke technology came either directly from founder Soichiro Honda [6] or indirectly due to pressure from managing director Takeo Fujisawa, who was said to be appalled by the noise and smoke that two-stroke engines produced and the additional hassle that Honda customers faced by ...
