POG Members,

I have a 1976 penton cross country 125 that has a lot of good parts on it including tank, air box and air box cover, clean painted frame, aluminum base seat in good condition, etc. All orange color like the MC5s.  

I would be willing to trade this bike, not complete with a like condition of a B sachs powered 125/100cc cmf penton of the 73' vintage, also unrestored or a bunch of parts put together as an equal option too.  I don't need a sachs motor.  Let me know and be sure to include your email address in the return POG email while I have pictures too if you want.

This is only my experience. You could buy 2 RM 125's for the price of one KTM which is the main reason there numbers were low. There much heavier than a RM 125. They make allot less horse power than a RM 125.

They are a cool bike and could make a great collectable pool room bike but race bikes they are not as competitive as say the RM 125. The 79/80 models are a very competitive bike.

I have a basket roller waiting for resto. If there were less than 200 I imagine parts are going to be very thin on the ground....
