Cross country and the gs6 has a different frame. the backbone of the frame is much rounder and larger and the tank for the gs6 is unique to that frame. The gs6 does not have a chrome tip but the cross country does.
I'm confused because the bike I had did say 250 gs6 on the side plate and also had a huge muffler with a big cone shaped chrome tip. the rear shocks were in a vertical position and looked like they only had about 3" of travel..

Hello to all.
At the age of 57 I find myself remembering back to my younger years and some of the bike I had as a kid like the Husky cr125 and the husky 450 desert master and then I had what I think was a 72 to 74 penton 125 and may other different bikes to many to list. anyway one day I was riding my penton 125 and this guy came out of nowhere on a penton 250 and we started talking about our bikes and he suggested we swap bikes and go for a ride to which I agreed well after the ride he wanted to trade me my bike for his. Well I said hell yes because I really like his bike and I think he wanted to trade because he was a smaller guy and maybe his was to much for him. anyway I don't remember the year but what I do remember is the rear shocks was in a vertical position, side plate said 250 gs6 and it had a big exhaust with a big chrome tip. I really what to find one even if is just part of one that I can restore over time. any help with the year or leads would be greatly appreciated.
