The Moto Guzzi LeMans Tenni was a limited production model produced only in ’02 and ’03. Just 170 examples were produced, and the most obvious difference is the custom paint scheme and large quasi-dustbin fairing. It was named after Omobono Tenni, who was also know as the Black Devil or Red Bullet. Tenni was the first non-Brit to win the Isle of Man TT, and he won 47 races for Guzzi between 1933 and 1947. He was killed during a practice session for the Swiss GP. In addition to this limited edition V11, MG honored Omobon with a monument in the factory museum.
Other upgrades included a lightweight clutch, fancy titanium-nitride coated forks, and carbon fiber exhaust pipes. You also got an extra suede seat, which is a rarity in the modern age – at least directly from the manufacturer. The interior of the engine wasn’t touched, so you still got 91 horsepower and 72 pound-feet of torque. For more information, head on over to the Moto Guzzi National Owners Club for a lengthy writeup from Kevin Hamann.
This example is #130 of 170 and it has 9,391 miles and it’s been upgraded with a D&D exhaust. The seller notes “minor scratches on the tank from a tank bag.”
