PENTON MUD LARK NOW AVAILABLE WITH 152CC CAPACITY
We now have available the Penton Trials machine in a 152cc capacity. This is a Sachs 5-speed engine to go along with the 125cc 6-speed engine.
We have duped the Trials machine "Mud Lark" and the 152cc size should suit some areas of the country, where they have a lightweight class up to 250cc. The price for the 152cc is the same as the 125cc and the extra torque is noticeable.
With the revaluation of monies, this machine is very competitively priced and we suggest to you dealers that haven't gotten one yet, to get one on your floor. Don't believe everything Dirt Bike says.

The above information came from the March 1973 Keep'em Winning which was a newsletter for Penton dealers. I was just putting it away when that tidbit caught my eye, and I thought maybe a few of you might enjoy it as well.

Interesting. I remember looking at a Penton/Wassel Trials bike that was for sale about 15 years ago. I refeered to it as a "Mudlark" and the seller got incredibly butthurt and screamed at me about how his bike was not a Mudlark. I could not see the difference. e
A close local friend still has his original Penton "Café Motocross" model. Kind of the first dual sport machine, a Penton trials bike with factory knobby tires (Hi Point), headlamp and tail lamp. The last model being the "Woodsman" Long tall seat, orange side panels with tape stripe, PP fenders, 35mm forks and a Husqvarna 125 exhaust. Really Cool like the Ford Edsel!
