That was a mock-up made for an ad that appeared in Brit bike magazines of the 1970s. I believe it was for a tire company, Dunlop I think.

The copy was that if you soup up your bike - don't overlook the tyres - Buy Dunlop   

Something like that anyway.

It was an ad for Dunlop. The tag line was "Is your engine overtaking your tyres?" I have the ad on my garage wall, pulled from an old copy of MCN.

Cheers Steelworker, I tried and tried to find some reference to it on t'interweb but found nothing. If Dunlop had any style they'd redo the ad with an updated bike.

The Scott re-emerged in the seventies as the Silk 700. If memory serves, they were not exceptionally fast, but had great handling
