WSK was a brand of motorcycles produced between 1955 and 1985[1] by the aerospace company PZL-Świdnik (formerly Wytwórnia Sprzętu Komunikacyjnego) in their factory in Świdnik, Poland. The name and trademark were derived directly from the name of the manufacturer: Wytwornia Sprzetu Komunikacyjnego .[2]
History
In 1955 Wytwórnia Sprzętu Komunikacyjnego was asked to produce the 125 cc WFM M06 motorcycles as WFM were unable to meet market demands. Except for the tank badge the WSK and WFM models were identical. The WSK engineers started work on an improved model. The new machine had a new engine, the S-017, a new frame made of welded from closed rectangular sections and telescopic forks.[3] This went into production in 1959 as the M06Z[4] and a lower specification model, the M06L was also introduced.
