This write-up looks like it's translated, so it's not all that great. But it's what I found on a quick search:

The MSS 1 was the first motorcycle built handmade by Stanisław Skura in 1949. It could happen due to he is worked at a military airbase, so he had access to equipment and aluminum materials at the airplane workshops. Then he makes this motorcycle, and most of the motorcycle parts are made by himself.
1949 MSS 1 used a V2 OHV 4,500 ccm engine combined with a three-speed gearbox.
This motorcycle has a pretty unique shape, this can be seen from both of front-rear wheels mentioned taken from the German military aircraft wheels, which are wrapped on 20-inches-size truck rims, then the carburetor is taken from the German tanks.
The motorcycle uses a V2 OHV engine with a capacity of around 4,500 ccm combined with a three-speed gearbox. And also mentioned this motorcycle is able to carry 8 passengers at once including the driver (3 on the motorcycle and 2 on the sidecar) and 3 other standing on the rear platform.
Although there is no detailed information about its performance when viewed from its capability to carry so much burden, and surely the engine must be able to burst enough power to support that capability.
Of course, he did not make all the engine components but based on some components that were generally available at the time, such as cylinders from generator sets, connecting rods, gears, magneto, headlight, carburetors, wheels, tires, bearings, etc.
But unfortunately, later the motorcycle had been confiscated and destroyed by the Polish military due to the allegations of the motorcycle constructed by using the considered items of their properties.
