Let say we were all rich  and money was no object.I would like to know what Penton model would you buy ??? and why ?... Mine would be a
1970 125 Six Day Steel Tanker with the Sunbusrt Head because it was so radical to anything out there and was clearly a race ready winner, This was an awsome bike for in the day BT

Brian,
Great subject.  I would have to say the 1973 Penton 250 in Moto X trim.  I have rode and tested many bikes and this bike was so far ahead of its time it was unbelievable.  To this day it is still the fastest(straight line) 250 I have ever rode.  Understand part of the thrill (or terror) was the power was so far ahead of the suspension.

All the 100 Pentons are next.
Thanks for the great memories.

PS:I just purchased a 1973 Penton 250 last weekend.  THE TERROR has returned.
