Fantastic Penton KTM Oldie Jack Pine Special Supermoto

Double post from the two-stroke page.

I get some good traffic over here from the PentonUSA.org folks so every now and then I like to go over and see what theyre up to. Great bunch of folks and if youre even remotely interested in old Penton or KTM motorcycles (or any old dirtbike from that era) then go pay em a vist. Great Stuff!

Anyway while I was snooping around over there I stumbled across this beauty. I love this sort of treatment. I was very tempted to buy a similarly built bike a while back that was based on an XT500. Its one of the styles of bikes that really shine when "modernized". Power should NOT be a problem and I imagine she handles brilliantly.

77 Penton 175 Engine with Lectron Carb

77 Penton MC5 Frame & Tank
80 KTM 175 Swingarm
89 KTM GS 125 Forks, Wheels, Brakes
