Junak 104
Years: 2020 – 2020
Junak is Poland’s most beloved motorcycle name. In the late 1950s–60s, the SFM factory in Szczecin built the M07/M10—handsome 350 cc four-stroke singles with dignified road manners and a proud, domestic identity. They served as police mounts, tourers, and family transport, symbolizing technical competence in a rebuilding nation. Production ended with economic shifts, but nostalgia never did. In the 21st century the Junak name returned via Almot on a range of light commuters and retro-styled singles suited to modern licensing and budgets. Though mechanically unrelated to the originals, the new bikes carry the visual grammar—tank lines, badges, and a respect for durability—while parts and dealer support reflect contemporary expectations. Historically, Junak bridges heritage and utility: a reminder that motorcycles can anchor national memory while still getting students to class and workers to job sites today. For Poles of a certain age, the thrum of an M10 is history on the move; for new riders, a modern Junak is a sensible on-ramp wrapped in familiar style.
