I'm wondering how much my Penton is worth in its current state.
I'm not sure of year, make, or model.
The frame serial number: 412 80393
It has a Fichtel & Sachs Ag Schenfurt engine with the numbers: 7962006 marked as a: 122cc
I consider it to be in fair to good condition. It has a broken front fender and a seized piston.
There is a motorcycle collector who is interested in this bike the way it sits, who has more money at his disposal to restore the bike to it's original glory than I have (with collage coming up). I was wondering if I could get an idea of a price range where no one leaves with hard feelings. If I could get a reply ASAP that would be very helpful as he is planning on looking at it today around 12 Noon CST
Prices are very subjective, and based on condition. Post some pics here, or on a photobucket type site with a link here, and members can give you a better idea. Otherwise it's kind of like throwing numbers on a wall to see which will stick.

Scott,
Sometimes watching eBay can be a help in figuring out the value. Good luck.

Well that was depressing, Only two or three bikes the rest someone is parting out the bike. What a waste of human life, parting out a piece of history.
