Dennis,
That should be a 1980 built in February. If it is a 250, it would be one of the early large fin engines that are the same from 1978-early 80. I have one built in March "003". Mike

I enjoy rebuilding and appreciating Pentons!

If you believe the decals on the tank but I think it can be argued that it is more Penton than most realize... To this day KTM's are called sportsbikes which is what JP called his pentons... Penton is not just a name on a bike it is an Idealology and it is something KTM adopted as a result of Penton's influence on them....

I picked my 79 up last Nov. and its a blast!!!    With the help of fellow POGers, I was able to get it running on a SHOESTRING BUDGET.
