I gotta get one of these. I hope they come to the USA and they're street legal. Claimed 218lbs. May have to go orange.

And you can thank Jack Penton, in very large part, for being the huge influence in the early days at KTM. Good lord how I wanted a Jackpiner back then!!!

The Penton Dirt Bikes: John Penton, Founder and Racing Legend.

 

I had a 1973 six days 125cc Sachs 6B engine though not the more reliable and better shifting 175cc KTM engine that was in the Jackpiner. For it's day one of if not the best handling dirt bikes ever made. For that matter we can thank Jack Penton for the great steering properties of the KLX as the Pentons were involved with the developement of the KDX line which lead to the KLX line.

 

WOW Looks like fun. Like a mountain bike with a engine. Doesn't look like the US will get them in 2012 though

 

Don't fret, they are VERY pricey!

 

we do have them, just not plated. andrew short raced one last year, and mike alessi the year before that. maybe not a enduro version, but the diffrences are few and easy to change. still would rather find a way to plate a klx450, but to each there own. those trails on the other hand, *droooooooool*.

oh yea, the reason those look like mountain bikes are the riders, julien dupont is nuts. proof:
