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 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alannn Posted September 28 Share Posted September 28 I may be wrong, but my head is wrapped around the idea that the V11 Tenni is a rare color, not a rare bike. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gstallons Posted September 28 Share Posted September 28 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 ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastaussie Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 saw this advert when the bike was originally advertised for $11k. even at $9k it's still hella high priced. especially with 32k miles and crash damage on that right-side upper fairing...

This thread seems like the obvious place to ask: Does my '02 have the same lightweight single-plate clutch and titanium nitride coated forks as the Tenni?

O2 V11 Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 alannn, In answer to both your questions, the answer is no to both of them. I believe the single plate clutches were fitted to the Tenni and Scura models and only the Tenni came with the coated forks. You should have a twin plate clutch and conventionally finished forks.

rosso corsa Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 Perhaps this was already said, but the Tenni is indeed a limited edition with limited production numbers (I've seen claims of 150; 170; experts please help!). Production numbers for the Rosso Corsa and Nero Corsa were not limited. Years ago, I asked the then Moto Guzzi PR department in Mandello how many Rosso Corsa's were built, but they never replied.... probably they do not know the numbers themselves? The Tenni being a 2002 model, comes with the poor quality "wrinkle" engine paint which, if not fixed in the meanwhile, will probably have turned brown/grey-ish or (will) at least (party) peel(ed) off (sooner or later). I love the Tenni color scheme, but I prefer by far my 2003 Rosso Corsa, because of the Ohlins suspension, and of course, no issues with the glossy engine paint. PS: I am not sure I would want to have the Scura's and Tenni's single plate clutch It is obvious that Tenni sellers use the "limited edition"-factor to inflate asking prices.... This however also requires that the bike is in original condition (and not with exhaust pipe wrapping or other pseudo-tuning). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p6x Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 (edited) 1 hour ago, rosso corsa said: This however also requires that the bike is in original condition This is a typical mistake some owners often make. They heavily modify their bike to suit their preferences, and when resale time comes, they think the enhancement they installed deserve a premium. It can actually be a deterrent rather than an incentive. Unless those changes were carried out to remove some of the known weaknesses; such as the instruments, either Veglia or ITI, the starting wiring... there is an exception though; the exhaust replacement seems to be an acceptable improvement, but not always. My Guzzi Q (I like that it sounds like Suzy Q) retained the stock exhaust. Most of the Quota I saw before purchasing this one had an aftermarket exhaust, sometimes with the original available, sometimes not. I like the way the stock exhaust looks.
