I can only assume that many if not most of you Penton enthusiast’s have seen the documentary “Penton”. I know the man who was the creator of that film very well. If you missed it it’s a must see if you’re a “Penton KTM” enthusiast/owner. Todd Huffman, the creator (producer, writer, director) of the documentary is my son. And as a boy in the mid 19seventy…something watched John Penton ride by where we were camping in the Blue Mountains of N.E. Oregon…. I beg your pardon for an old man, proud father.

No John Penton.., no KTM as we know it now.

So, KTM top leadership are middle aged men wearing suits and ties proclaiming that they want to be number one in market share. I am therefore amazed that KTM is as good as they are. Notice they no longer strive to make the best motorcycle period.
