Post-Sale Update: This Penton Six Days 125 ISDT sold for $1,895 on eBay after 23 bids.
The seller says this is “ugly but runs fantastic.” I actually love the way it looks, as long as it all stays together! The Penton Six Days 125 (actually called the “Six Day”) was a very important motorcycle – it was the start of the commercial relationship between John Penton and KTM.

For more on the Penton/KTM relationship, check out this article from KTM themselves. Just 400 of these bikes were brought to the US in ’68, the first year of production. The next year, KTM brought over 1,000, and the rest is history. The components used were high-end – Ceriani forks and shocks, Oldani brakes, Magura levers, and more. This example is a first-kick bike that has just been brought back to life after a long nap. With that said, the seller says it basically runs like a new bike.
