The Ultimate Scott
Silk Engineering manufactured motorcycles in Derby between 1970 and 1979. The first ones were little more than updated versions of the famous Scott machine of the 1930s, but later Silk developed their own design. This 1979 700S model is one of these and features a Silk 653cc twin-cylinder two-stoke engine, closely following the Scott layout.
