Hello, I don't own a V11 yet (just had a Ballabio sold out from underneath me, actually), but at some point I hope to find a Tenni. For now I'm riding year 'round on a '76 850 T3. B)

Hi bizarro, Welcome aboard, and good luck on that tenni, Hey Van, we got one coming your way!!! (Moderator on the "tenni forum", and just plain SICK for that itineration of our beloved model) You've come to the right place, ride long, Nero's Rule! Black TRUMPS Green, eeeech :vomit: (sorry, couldn't help that...) Later S.H. :notworthy::mg::wub:

Thanks all. :)

 

I'm of pretty modest means at the moment so I don't have the dough to just go out and buy a V11. The Coppa up at Moto I is really nice but it's a grand larger than that dark silver/grey Ballabio I wanted to buy. So it goes. Guess I'll have to console myself with a Davida helmet to go with the T3. B)

 

When I do have the money to buy a V11 outright I know a gentleman here in Seattle that specializes in rare bikes and I figure I'll put him on the case of my missing Tenni. ;)

Welcome bizarro! You're very lucky to have a shop like MI near you. More than a couple folks that have come and gone here left because they had problems that they or their local shops couldn't work out. That won't be a problem for you.

 

:2c: The extra grand is well worth it to get the Ohlins suspension. The Ohlins rear shock alone sells for that IF you could find one. Ohlins doesn't make them anymore. :2c:

The extra cost up front MORE than pays for itself in the joy of the ride,IMHO. LONG after the money is "forgotten", you would not be sorry :race: I was amazed at how much more planted I felt compared to any other bike I'd rode before.
