context_section_description: The 1997 KTM Jackpiner 200 LE was a limited production run of the first 200 cc KTM. It was built to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the first Penton KTM motorcycle. It was inspired by the 175 cc Penton Jackpiner, named for the Michigan Jack Pine Endurance Run.  It came with Penton blue plastics and a sticker attached to the front fender bearing John Penton's signature. It was outfitted with Öhlins Forks and was the first bike with PDS no-linkage rear suspension developed by Öhlins, and was also one of the first bikes to incorporate a hydraulic clutch. A year later the first production KTM 200 MXC was fitted with Marzocchi 45 forks and the trademark orange plastics.
