SHL (motorcycle)

[1] Fewer than 1,000 motorcycles were manufactured before the outbreak of World War II in 1939 and the German occupation of Poland.

In 1948 the name of Huta Ludwików was changed to KZWM Polmo-SHL (Kieleckie Zakłady Wyrobów Metalowych – Kielce Metal Works).

After the end of Stalinist period in Poland, from 1958, the KZWM Polmo-SHL in Kielce returned to motorcycle production.

The new model was SHL M06U, which was an improved version of the WFM M06, more luxurious and fitted with 150 ccm engine.

Some M11s were exported, even to the US, and in 1962 the Escorts group bought a licence to manufacture this model in India, under a brand Rajdoot.
