Yaris Engine VS Motorcycle Engine
I have driven small cars all my life partly because they cost less thus enabling me to further indulge my jones for motorcycles.
Perhaps the apex of my motorcycle career was my 2004 Honda ST1300, a motorcycle made for high speed (100+ mph) long distance travel. Lest you think going 100 mph too adventurous, I can say riding 100 mph on this machine is like sitting on your living room couch. Not scary at all. Exhilarating perhaps, but one is not fearful. But I just realized that the engine of the ST1300 and the Yaris are nearly the same in terms of displacement and horsepower! The ST1300 displaces 1300 cc's and produces 117 horsepower. That's of the Yaris 1500cc's and 106 horsepower. Practically the same thing!

Theres probably a significant difference in the torque ratings of each engine. However put the right engine in the right car and much fun can be had.

Yes the GSX-R is an amazing 120hp for such a small car!

I have always wanted to see someone do a motorcycle mill swap into the Yaris chassis. I would love to see how it performs.

Just FYI
The point of the OP was that our Yaris engine is a hi performance engine like those found in motorcycles. NOT that mc engines should be installed in cars!
