[gstallons]

The seller knows what they have or they don't know what they have .... 9k is a pretty big #.

Is a Tenni more rare than a Rosso Corsa, Nero Corsa? Maybe 

Is it a better bike than a Coppa Italia or Scura with their Ohlins suspension? Nope                      

It is a beautiful model of a V11 Lemans? Absolutely

I may be completely wrong, but after 4 years of V11, and two years of looking for a Stelvio and then Quota, I do not get the feeling that Moto Guzzi is a hot ticket. At least not here, in Texas.

If I was to sell my Le Mans, which I purchased in December 2020 for 6kUSD, 8800 miles, I would probably hope for 5kUSD max. And that's after all the known imperfections were cured. I got the Quota for 3kUSD, although I was probably only worth 2.5kUSD.

The 2016 Stelvio NTX that I was considering in January 2023 is still unsold, currently priced for $6250 from its 2023 starting price $7500.

I may be wrong, but my head is wrapped around the idea that the V11 Tenni is a rare color, not a rare bike.

[gstallons]

The powerplant is different . Right from " how much throttle do I give this #$%^^&*((())!! to get it to start and then I hope this battery holds out long enough to start to I don't remember this thing making this noise before. Enjoying the SHORT throw shifter and forgiving the shut it off to find N now procedure. Being able to play with the throttle to keep from blowing the throttle bodies off when it starts popping . GRRRRR.

 With that being said , I will never want to part with one !

That is well put. The chassis, exhaust, engine management, and suspension are all 2002 LeMans. I really do love the Tenni color scheme.

Yet, it is pretty well known here that I love ALL of the V11 SpineFrames.
