At least it isn't all black! I have forgotten how many vintage dirt bikes I've seen listed on local Craig's List that people with a Ninja complex have painted out everything black. Either that or the bike might have been stolen. The orange on this bike does absolutley niothing for me, and since it's power coat, might be REALLY difficult to take back to a stock color? At least he didn't paint the tank some other color and you can tell it's s Penton.
Type at you later,

Not for everyone, but I like it.
I expected some comment when scanning the photos and posting the information. If you follow vintage motorcycle racing in Europe the colorful look is very much the same. The seats, rims, and various other items depart from norm.

That is the second ugliest Penton I have ever seen, second only to the Six Day Tom Benolkin built a few years ago.
