Here's another one I found:



Item# 270015764677 - seller says it's from a 1972 Penton 125cc Six-Day ENDURO, Frame# 20957473, Sachs# 7176349

Were all bikes set up the same from the factory, with enduro "kits" being sold separately or dealer-installed, or were different versions factory-produced?

assorted aftermarket parts, with a front end, wheels, and Berki motor from a steel tanker, all stitched together in a '72 CMF frame, then buried alive for a quarter of a century...  can it live again?

I've looked in the POG gallery and didn't see any like the one above.  The most similar type I've seen is like this one:



There are quite a few of this type, which has the triangle shaped part starting behind the tube at the front, and the frame tab it's bolted thru is on the front of the tube.  The bolt goes thru a part of the oval that extends past the front edge of the triangle, and the triangle is not continued below the oval.

That panel on the red bike wraps around the tube at the front, and it seems to be bolted thru the frame tab that's used for the airbox, behind the tube.  The oval shape doesn't extend forward past the triangle shape, and the triangle shape is continued below the oval.  Could it be aftermarket, or special made for a race team, or is the reb bike above an unusual '74 model that's not shown in the gallery?

Not to change the subject, but...

...the numberplate/side panel on the bike pictured above looks unusual - what model is that?

If it's a '72, then I'll take the kickstand & spring.

If Scott doesn't get the motor, then I'm interested in that too.
