This 1977 Penton 250 MC5 was acquired by the seller in 2019, following a refurbishment that is said to have included overhauling the 246cc two-stroke single, the leading-axle fork, and the piggyback shocks. The bike was refinished in orange and black in 2023, and it features a six-speed transmission, 21″ front and 18″ rear wire-spoke wheels, a cross-braced handlebar, a black vinyl seat, a side stand, and a cross-braced handlebar. This MC5 is now offered at no reserve in Tennessee for off-road use only with a bill of sale.
The fuel tank and side covers were refinished in orange with black accents in 2023, and the decals were clear-coated over. The tank was internally sealed at that time, and the seller notes that the bike has not been refueled in the time since. Features include white plastic fenders, yellow number plates, a braced swingarm, a black vinyl seat, and a chrome cross-braced handlebar.
Wire-spoke wheels measuring 21″ up front and 18″ at the rear wear knobby Cheng Shin tires that show sidewall cracks. The conventional leading-axle fork and the dual piggyback shocks are said to have been rebuilt during the refurbishment. Braking is from drums at both ends.
The KTM 246cc two-stroke single was factory rated at 34 horsepower, and it is said to have been overhauled during the refurbishment. The bike has not been started or ridden since the fuel tank was resealed in 2023. The bike is not equipped with instrumentation, and total mileage is unknown.
Power is sent to the rear wheel through a six-speed transmission.
This vehicle does not have a title or registration and is being offered with only a bill of sale.
