identification etc

[Mark Sterling]

I just acquired what I believe is a 71 125 just looking for positive ID. Frame vin#V5789  engine#6553190 125 1/5A   I was wondering about A engine as previous penton had B I assume as it has larger crank low end pick up may be sluggish? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Mark,
Yes you have a '71 model. I wouldn't call the 5a sluggish compared to 6b, but does have heavier crank and more low end.
