Guzzicruiser Posted March 13, 2020 Posted March 13, 2020 What do you all think about how these are regarded in general among all the other V11s produced over the years? Are they special or just another run like the Ballabio, Nero, Scura, etc...? Thoughts? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1
footgoose Posted March 14, 2020 Posted March 14, 2020 I for one think they are quite special. It is pretty much the same as any LM but the look of it to me is outstanding. It has the extra suede seat, titanium nitride coated fork tubes and a (not so good) aluminum flywheel with a single plate clutch. I believe it was produced in the lowest numbers (except Copa) of all the specials, 170 worldwide. 35-40 in the US. 2
footgoose Posted March 14, 2020 Posted March 14, 2020 Is that your Tenni? How long have you owned it? Desirability/collect-ability? I think Tenni fits in something like this... just My Opinion... (don't be hurt anyone please) Scura R Copa Rosso/Nero Corsa Tenni/Scura Cafe Sport Rosso Mandello Early (red frame) Sport LeMans Sport As time passes the Tenni will move up the list for rarity. Of all the specials edition models, the Tenni has the best 'back story' in the Moto Guzzi racing history of their champion Omobono Tenni. 1 1
ScuRoo Posted March 14, 2020 Posted March 14, 2020 Of course it’s “special” - name one V11 which isn’t? However, there’s one quality which stands out which “models” are special - the ones equipped special - those running Ohlin’s. That said, imo the Tenni model is uniquely special - as the only V11 to ever have raced at the Isle of Man TT 🇮🇲 Bravo! Respect. 2

I’ve had it for about 4 years and it had been on my list to buy for a long time. They don’t come up for sale all that often so when this one came up I grabbed it. I have a Stelvio and a V7 II also but this one to me is really special. I’ve loved the V11 LM since they came out and the Tenni to me is the pinnacle of the iteration - maybe not technically but stylistically so. I posted to hear what others think or if it was just me?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1

I mean - seriously, when was the last time you saw a Guzzi on the road let alone a V11?? So yeah, I get that. I guess I was asking more specifically, within the breed - among V11s in general how are they regarded?Cool about the IOM entry! Who cares how it placed? Respect!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I would agree... but my blibblob is pretty much a sport now due to no fairing and clip-ons. Love the paint job on a tenni though- gorgeous shade of green 4

LowRyter Posted March 15, 2020 Posted March 15, 2020 I never heard of Ashley Law, not knew of anyone ever racing V11. So when I tried to read about, all I could find was these photos. I found that IoM keeps extensive photos of competitors for each annual event online. I would like to read about him and the venture. So, if anyone has a link to the story, it would be great. The bike looks surprisingly stock / street legal, right down to having mufflers- even minimal stickers.
