West coast 250 GS-6 with the turtle-back frame. This bike was originally sold and branded KTM in this same Jackpiner blue as the European versions were that year.
For those unfamiliar with the '77 Cross-country GS differences from the MC5 of that year: http://www.vintagejerry.com/Penton10thAniversary.htm
Bike completely gone through, GEM reed, 1st over piston with new rings, new Michelins, NOS GS6 pipe in perfect condition (with Supertrap cap instead of stock silencer), lights work, VDO speedo, rebuilt Marzocchis, new swingarm bearings, new bars, new plastic, etc, Motor is tight and runs very strong. Bill of sale. Located in Oregon, will help arrange shipping. Will include a spare cylinder and complete transmission as spares, to keep you running for years to come. Fair price at $2500.

This is a very nice ISDTR bike that should stay in the US! I hoped to keep this forever, but need the money. Please feel free to call 503-888-2851 with questions. Thanks,

Jon,
Sorry to see that you will have to part with a very nice and rare Penton/KTM. Best of luck, she should make someone a jewel of a bike. Mike

I enjoy rebuilding and appreciating Pentons!

Thanks Mike. Resurrected this bike from out back of a barn and put it together to be my proud ISDTR steed. But too many miles and dollars, so I've missed the past 3 years.
I've tried without luck to jumpstart similar events closer to the PacNW, but only VMX in this part of the world, and can't bear to thrash it that way. I now have the oldest of my 4 kids starting college in a year...ouch.
