Penton / KTM for parts

[Durango Dave]

Serial #550-02923 Does anyone know anything about this bike? It might be a 250? two-stroke, has a headlight, speedo and odometer. Most of the parts are there - I'm posting this for a friend who would just like to see the parts end up with someone who can use them. Take a look here: http://216.165.194.66/ktmtalk/photogallery/largerview.cfm?picid=9151  Maybe late 70's or early '80's? Please let me know if you know anything about this bike or would be interested in the parts.

'78 Yamaha XS750 - fast fun!

Dave,  Would you mind advising the location so we can determine shipping estimate or close enough for a Sunday drive for pickup.
Thanks for the generous offer !!    wnm

Sure, the bike is located in Durango, Colorado.  My friend got it thinking that he would fix it up eventually but decided it was too much of a project.  He has a nice old restored MG, and I have a mechanically fuel-injected '73 BMW 2002 tii (daily driver), so we know how hard it can be to come by these old parts.  So rather than just throw it away, he would like the parts to get to someone who can use them.

So it's basically free, just pay the freight to get it to you if you don't live close enough to come pick it up.  He thinks that most of the parts are there, but the engine was seized when he got it.  Looks like it might be a 250 Cross Country?  Looks very similar to my old Bultaco Alpina which, by the way, another friend of mine still has and is in incredible condition.  If anyone is interested in this Penton / KTM please let me know and I'll get you in touch with the guy who has it.
