Penton Classic Motorcycles
The Penton Owners Group is recognized
worldwide as the premiere vintage motorcycle
organization dedicated to the preservation of
the Penton motorcycle. This timeless classic
came out of a dream by its creator, famed motorcycle
racer, John Penton, after approaching a small
Austrian bicycle and moped manufacturer by the
name of KTM. This dream set a new standard
in sport and competition motorcycling.
The innovative design and development of this
machine began in 1967 and stayed at the forefront
for the next ten years. At the end of
1977, John Penton and the Penton name stepped
away from this world-class machine. The
following year the motorcycle reappeared bearing
a new name that is still recognized to this
day as one of the leading brand names in the
world of motorcycling and that name is KTM.
