The cranks lie on the same axis but they aren't a single crank. If I recall though they did a number with a one piece centre gear making those a single crank.

As a note, I don't ever recall Honda claiming or stating it was a single crank, more the press.

Yep, the NSR500 is a true V4. Not an oblique square 4 with 2 "proper" full width cranks counter rotating to balance the rotational forces like a YZR500.

This is an RD500, but it shows the idea of a twin cranked "V4" (it's not a V is it?) clearly.
