HISTORY
The motorcycling company known as Pierer Mobility AG is the purveyor of KTM, Husqvarna, GasGas, and MV Agusta two-wheelers. They offered one brand, a motorcycle better known in the USA as “Penton”
The Penton 250 may have been an upstart in off-road racing, but it was quickly making a name for the company. A Soviet MX racer named Gennady Moiseev had recently won the Yugoslav 250cc motocross Grand Prix on a KTM, and U.S. rider Carl Cranke had earned a gold medal in the ISDT on one. American riders were learning about the unfettered joy of riding dirt bikes, and the companies were scrambling, so to speak, to provide them with purpose-built motorcycles.

We ride, race and restore vintage motorcycles. Every single bike we buy and sell, we personally go through. My father Chris Reed, born in ‘59 has been racing and repairing these bikes since they were new. He had me on a JR50 at 4 years old and I cut my teeth on race tracks around the United States. I eventually sharpened my craft working under the wing of Peter Boggia (Moto Borgotaro) where I serviced and restored some of the rarest motorcycles on the planet.
I believe these bikes should go to people who will love, and appreciate them. You’re not just buying a bike from us, you’re supporting a brand that is deeply committed to celebrating these badass machines and preserving the vintage racing community.
