Junak M 07 motorcycle with sidecar

The design of the Junak M 07 motorcycle was developed in 1952 at the Automotive Industry Design Bureau in Warsaw. The chief designer was inż. Jan Ignatowicz. The chassis was designed by Stefan Poraziński, and the engine by Krzysztof Wójcicki. The motorcycle copied technical solutions proven in foreign machines of a similar calibre. It also made references to pre-war Sokół 600 motorcycles, which can be seen especially clearly in the construction of the engine. Throughout the period of their production, the Junaks were considered luxury items and demand for them decreased from the 1960s when production of passenger cars increased. Up until 1965, some 90,000 units were built, including 10,000 of the model M 07. Manufacturer: Szczecińska Fabryka Motocykli; Metalowa Spółdzielnia Pracy „Kuźnia” Sułkowice, 1958. Inv.
