Title: Pure 'MX' Pentons (pre-KTM )
Post by: slotsquid on August 04, 2015, 01:30:16 PM
Did Mr. Penton ever import Motocross only models of his bikes?
I've seen them stripped and converted, but a purpose built model, I have not seen (from the factory)
Thanks,
Howie Lloyd.

76-77 MC-5 models are motocross specific bikes, but dealers could add lights and bolt on Hi-Point rear frame loops if customers wanted to use them for Enduro use, as they almost all had lighting coil Motoplats. Mike

I remember the MC-5's now. I like the 125. So sweet looking!
Thanks for the response.

The likelihood of one individual being right increases in direct proportion to the intensity with which others are trying to prove him wrong.
