Don't be fooled by the color of the gas tank.  I have heard that there were red-tanked 100cc Pentons and red-tanked 125cc Pentons.   I had a green-tank 100cc Penton (1972 100cc A crank, 6 speed).    joe

The only difference between the 100 and 125 is paint color , cylinder, head and piston kit

Bidding has just begun, and up to $1750.  Is the Penton a 1971 model?   Seems to be mostly complete and intact.   Wonder if the engine turns over....  I noticed that is "also" needs O-rings on the steering head bearings.   joe

By the Frame number it is a 1969, but it has the aluminum cylinder and head?  So it has been updated over the years.  I have always liked the short seat....it is what we thought was a real racer back in the day!

$2,375.00 winning bid.

I hope I don't get hard up for cash, cause I'd be real tempted to put my 68 find up on ebay to test the waters!

Dale, the bike wasen't given away, but it was purchased by a friend of mine and now resides in Maryland.  The bike was/is a fine restoration.
