You it the fastest people on a Penton.
Nice original Penton Hare Scrambler 250. $3500
If you want to win a vintage race, this is the bike you are going to do it on.
There is no title for this bike. Repeat, no title.
Last registered in NY in 1975. This bike has seen some use, but it is still very presentable, and can be ridden and enjoyed as it is.
New Top End
New Fenders
New Number Plate
35mm Ceriani Forks (fork stanchions in excellent condition)
Six Speed Transmission
Bike starts on first kick and runs very strong
Gearbox shifts through all gears properly

The list of parts it will need to be ready to roll is short- and relatively inexpensive.

No title.
I was just at the Mid Ohio swap meet, and I can tell you that I did not see any unrestored Pentons this nice. I saw one Hare Scrambler, for a little less money, but nowhere near as nice as this one.
If you have a hankering to go run enduros or scrambles, this is a nice example of a correct bike that will get you there with a minimum of effort. This bike presents well, and is a wheelie machine.
I will gladly cooperate with shipping companies, but buyer is responsible for all shipping costs and arrangements.
No longer for sale. Decided to go riding instead, fingers crossed.
DT,
Good for you :D Let us know how the riding goes, that sounds like a great bike and it should be a blast to ride.
