A Brief History of the Marque
From 1954 until 1980 WSK / PZL was a manufacturer of motorcycles branded as the WSK. Some 2,000,000 motorcycles of the WSK M06 125 ccm and WSK M21 175 ccm families were made in that period.
Developed, like so many others of the period, from the DKW RT125, it was sold in many of the Soviet dominated countries and at times in the West. They also supplied many of the components for Barron Motorcycles of Essex.
The WSK "175 Kobuz", years '80s model; the early versions of this bike were realized during the '60s. The "M-16" off-road model of the '70s. After the end of motorcycle production, WSK built helicopters.

The first WSK motorcycles were assembled in September 1954. Mass production in Swidnik started in 1955, and later in the same year in Warsaw. Both motorcycles, WSK and WFM, were powered by the same S-01 engine. By 1957 all modernizations and changes were done simultaneously, and the only real difference between both machines was the logo. In 1958 Swidnik engineers suggested first individual changes. The prototype of WSK M06-Z was presented with improved front suspension and better brakes, frame welded from closed rectangular sections (not C-shaped), deeper mudguards and more comfortable seat. Introducing all changes at once was expensive, that's why in February 1959 two models appeared: more expensive M06-Z (the most luxury version with chrome rims was priced at 10600 zloty) and cheaper M06-L (7000 zloty) with modernized frame, seat and engine; the old S-01 engine succeeded by the S-017 with a power output of 6 HP.
The following WSK model was the M06-Z-150 with a 148cc engine, and in 1964 the WSK M06-64 was introduced, which was superior to products of Warsaw factory. WSK production continued until October 1985, when the factory was closed. The overall production of WSK motorycles was about 2 million units, with over three- quarters of those being 125cc machines.

WSK Swidnik M06 - Z
Hi I am looking for information on my bike. It's a 1949 WSK Swidnik. I was also wondering if somebody could authenticate the machine for registration in the UK. Maybe this could be done by email using photos of the bike and it's VIN / Frame numbers
