Manufacturer United Kingdom The Scott Motorcycle Company

The Scott Model 3S was a British motorcycle made by The Scott Motorcycle Company in 1938. Only eight were produced before the outbreak of World War II.[1]

Development[edit]

The Scott designer William Cull had been experimenting with three-cylinder two-strokes throughout the 1930s and had developed a prototype 747 cc engine. The Scott Model 3S which was unveiled at the 1934 Olympia Motorcycle Show was a further development of this work, with the capacity enlarged to 986 cc and a four-speed gearchange. A notable feature of the Model 3S was the lubrication system, which had a throttle-operated pump drawing oil from the sump and delivering it to a geared pump, while a separate geared pump dealt with the return. Another unusual feature was that fuel was held in 'pannier' containers each side of the rear wheel so the apparent fuel tank was actually a dummy housing the instrumentation and control box (a feature later copied by the Honda Gold Wing). Only eight were produced before the outbreak of World War II. The final Model 3S is on display at the National Motorcycle Museum (

 

Something I did not know that was made, a  Scott 3 pot two-stroke.

I wonder if Suzuki had a look at this before designing they GT 750 kettle.

I'd like to have one of these Yamaha concept bikes for running down to the corner store or noodle shop.  The trike would be better for beer runs.  The "Honda 90" 2 wheel drive electric bike is cool.

Yes.  " Allen Millyard of Thatcham Berkshire England has built bikes based on the Kawasaki two stroke triples, four stroke in-line fours and water-cooled inline sixes. "

 

Was his nickname "Death Wish" by any chance?

Hahahaha .. This Dodge Viper'd one is probably his deadliest wish .. Clocked at 207 mph on its first run after being built .. In his day job a top M O D engineer working on classified weapons projects .. Described by many as an engineering genius the most amazing thing about his bikes are they are all built in a shed at his house with no specialized kit ..

Sounds a bit like Henry Ford when he was building race cars and engines before he made it big.

In America he would have reality shows, spin-offs and a celebrity marriage/divorce in the time it took to build those bikes. What I wouldn't give to be a fly on the wall in that garage.

Hahaha celebrity marriage .. like it .. There's loads out there on the 'net about his bikes and the challenges to building some of them particularly the V12 Kawasaki made up out of two Z1300's engines .. He is a top bloke when it comes to motorcycles ..
