I feel pretty confident the suede seat on my Tenni was real leather (also faded).

I also searched for a while to find a Stucchi Rack. Also shipped from Australia when I found it. Way better looking IMHO.

SOLD, AMERICAN ! Brand new in box. I bought this for my Tenni before my accident and never installed. Will need to be conditioned. $75.00 plus shipping. (11LBS ) from Northampton, Mass 01060

Congrats on the new ride! I have the same yr/ model and love it. I purchased my GRiSO October '15, soon after the unfortunate demise of my V11 LM Tenni. I have managed to get a great full year of riding in, without missing a single month. I don't think I will have the same luck this year though, as the snow is coming down as I post. Two consecutive years of open winter are unheard of in Massachusetts, I expect we will be buried this season.

I belive the raw hide mallet in Scud's kit is actually a stonecutters mallet. While it will persuade any number of things, it is a little heavier than a mallet typically used in wood working.

I loved my Tenni , but after crashing I bought a GRiSO. It is a different ride though I am quite happy with it. I missed the protection the fairing on the Tenni provided as well as the handling. I have since added the "large screen"(no longer available from Guzzi) but there are other aftermarket options out there. You may want to check this model out.

This failure is known to occur on the 1200 4v pre-roller models. Best to buy a post 2012 or an earlier model that has been "rollerized". There is lots of info regarding this issue on Wild Goose & GRiSO Ghetto forums.

I looked all over for this rack for my Tenni. I finally bought a used one from Gregg and paid shipping from Australia. $119. is an absolute bargain!

There's a nice clean Rosa Corsa for sale on wild goose, it might be easier to buy a spare!

If you can't wait for John to sell his Rosso Corsa; check out the one on eBay right now. The competition is already there however...

After the demise of my Tenni I purchased an 8V GRiSO, I am very happy with it. The things I miss however, are the lower, shorter bars and the fairing. I also hope to get the suspension sorted to match the ride of the Tenni. My GRiSO came with a Termi pipe installed (which I like). I find the stock exhaust a little over stylized, though I will keep it boxed for the next owner. I didn't move forward expecting an upgrade but a newer model may help keep me ahead of wear items and repairs. I will say all indications are that you should buy a post '12 or "rollerized" low mileage unit. Read threads on GRiSO Ghetto to get a handle on this issue. You mention riding position as a reason for making a move. The change to the stock bike is not that dramatic, many GRiSO owners opt for higher bars and lower pegs. I suggest you test one at a dealer to see if you like it.

Gregg Has A set of under-mount clip-ons for sale on this site, check them out.

My current fleet includes a '95 GMC Sierra 3500 (new everything) , '03 Volvo XC70, '10 Mercedes C class and my wife's 'Subaru Outback. This setup covers most the bases. I tend to keep the cars & trucks I like. If you keep spending more than they are worth on them, you can keep them a good long time. All I can say is, I am happy to be past the mini-van stage, I hated it from day one.

'03 XC 70 here, my 19 year old son is putting on most the miles now however.
