I remember a few guys around here that had em' in the early 70's but I had to Google to find out a little more about em'..... pretty interesting.
John Penton made a deal with KTM to import their bikes, but only if he could put his name on them. For a while the bike was sold under both the Penton and KTM names.
seriously? Good bike guy like you? Penton was the original KTM
And of course Mr. Penton is in the AMA Hall of Fame, as well he should be: http://www.motorcyclemuseum.org/halloffame/hofbiopage.asp?id=84
Owned a 250 Penton,got to where i was making parts for it so i traded it for a nice hunting rifle
Darryl, You just aren't old enough...
I remember racing against Pentons during my MX days back in the early 70's. They were good bikes in terms of power and handling but most of the people I knew who had them said they had reliability problems.
