If you ever have a spare $12-15,000 and can locate one of these bikes for me, then just remember that you'd be making an old man very happy.
The Tenni is a beautiful blunt-rumbling forever Moto Guzzi...Not so fast really in a straight line, but then it never goes in a straight line, but very quick to accelerate, always wrenches to the left upon acceleration (due to the position and firing of the twin cylinders...and because half the road curves in Italy are left hand curves) but a profound and strong example of the Mandelo del Lario Moto Guzzi existential bikes made on the banks of Lake Como in Northern Italy, that do basically last forever...sigh...and sound like a bombing raid over Madrid.
Named after the Italian Guzzi racing legend Bonomie Tenni (Bonomie was his first name and means...Good Man).
Very limited edition.
I had a half-chance of buying one new, number 9 of 160 made world wide, back in 2002 but made the mistake of 'going German' with the BMW K1100LT police bike. What a tragedy that was. Sure, it was so comfortable you could fall asleep on it, and I did, but I should have gone after the Guzzi/ Sigh. Life's real regrets. Deep. Sigh. The bitter regrets of lost opportunity of a life spent otherwise doing every thing perfectly
