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.
JTR
We ride, race, and restore vintage motocross bikes from the 1970s through the early 2000s. Every motorcycle we buy and sell is personally inspected, serviced, and vetted by us before it changes hands. My father, Chris Reed, has been racing and repairing these machines since they were new. He put me on a JR50 at four years old, and I've never stopped riding or racing. I later worked under Peter Boggia at Moto Borgotaro, helping service and restore some of the rarest motorcycles in the world.
When you purchase a motorcycle from JTR Moto, you’re not simply buying a bike. You’re investing in a passion shaped by three generations of racers with a dedication to preserving these incredible machines and the culture that made them special.
