Hi, I am looking for some help identifying a motorcycle. It has a KTM motor, but it looks like an ISDT Penton. The right hand engine case is #5-5406792 and the left case is 6792 (so they match). The orange frame is #5450483636. It has a sticker on the leather tank strap which says: Penton 6 (AMA USA) 48th ISDT US Trophy Team. Couldn't find a cc mark, but it looks like at least a 250cc. (I will try to get some pics added).

Thank you in advance for your help:).

James,
  You can go back to the home page and under the heading of Production Year Guide you can identify your bike.  It is at at the bottom of the page.  Your Bike is a 1975 250 Penton built in April of that year.  If you need any other information please ask.  Welcome to the Penton Owners' Group site and the bike you have is a nice year and model.

Or if you want the short cut here it is;

Wow! Thank you Ron...man, that was fast :-)

Here is a URL for the pics. I will check out the Production Year Guide as you suggest. The bike is a bit rough, and needs some work, but it is indeed sweet.

James,
  The bike is a little rough, but if you ever get one of these monsters back mecanically close to how they came from the factory they are fast good handling bikes.  If you go to rebuild it there are some really nice and knowledgeable people on the Penton Owners' Group site.  Thanks for the pictures.
