I just re-read the write up in the listing. (One of the pictures)
How did they get 21 HP out of that Sachs 125?

Rubbish, compared to a Penton. I know - that doesn't stop them from being collectable.

Rubish ... maybe Rob. I love my Pentons, but in 1972 - 73, if I saw this bike in a showroom next to pretty much any other brand, I would have bought it for $549.00 in a heart beat. The bike, to me, is beautiful.
Rob, Any chance you could send that entire page you posted above as an attachment that can be opened and read?

They are pretty, have restored 3, but as much fun as restoring a Wassell.  Need 3 different types of tools to work on them, lol:(
