The MZ ETS 250 G5 was produced in small numbers from 1972 to 1976 to be export to the USA and UK. The G5 is very similar to the 1968 factory bike. The fork springs are external and the frame is derivated from the road bikes. The engine has more power than the regular ETS and a 5 speeds gear box (instead of 4).
That is a very nice site, could spend a lot of time there. Neat to see Penton's. Carl Cranke was a local guy here back in the 70's.His wife's parents owned a house I rented, and occasionally I'd see him riding a Penton around. He worked at a local bike shop and did some machine work on a Honda SL-100 my brother and I put together. It ran a piston modified by Cranke that allowed it to be legal in the 125 class. I still have that bike and it's on my projects list.All part of my "return to dirt-riding plan".
