SHL M06-U
Speed characteristics of the S06 engine
In 1957, Kieleckie Zakłady Wyrobów Metalowych returns to its traditional production profile. The plant starts the production of the SHL M06-U motorcycle, developed by the design office of the Warsaw Motorcycle Factory. Engines with a swept volume of 0.148 drn3 were supplied with WFM. A novelty was the use of full-hub brakes with a drum diameter of 160 mm and a rubber intermediate element between the sprocket and the rear wheel hub. Compared to the popular WFM and WSK motorcycles, the motorcycle from Kielce was a vehicle of a higher standard. The aesthetic appearance of the vehicle was also influenced by deep mudguards, large brake drums, a high bench seat and a chromed exhaust system. This motorcycle was produced until 1959 and a total of 10,350 were made.

SHL M06-T
In 1959, Kieleckie Zakłady Wyrobów Metalowych began production of a modernized motorcycle with a cylinder capacity of 148cc. In place of the existing front telescopic fork without oil damping, a "medium" push arm was used, cooperating with spring elements, with coil springs and double-acting hydraulic shock absorbers. The new type of front wheel suspension significantly improved driving comfort. Other changes in the SHL M06-T motorcycle compared to the previous model are: a new engine intake system, a new front lamp with a reflector with a diameter of 150 mm of the optical system and the installation of a brake light. This machine was produced until 1961, and a total of 23,370 of these motorcycles were made.
