Awesome bike! I'm sold on that chin spoiler myself, and the exhaust is pretty cool as well. By the by, nice job on the Tenni tracking, Van!!!

All this talk of Buells, in particular the statements about QC issues, archaic air-cooled motors and lack of mainstream marketing makes me giggle. Sound familiar to anyone else?!? Having owned a few different brands of bikes, (and only recently being able to FINALLY own a LeMans), it all sounds like almost everyone else talking about Moto Guzzis. Lots of people don't 'get' these bikes. Fine by me-save them for those who do and let the others have the water cooled sewing machines they desire. Not that there's anything wrong with any bike really. I just happen to like being able to pick mine out of the crowd. Just my
...Guzzis Rule!!!!

Gee whiz.....so many Buell fans on the Guzzi site??
Ok.Ok. l'll conceed that the Buells do have a certain something, like a great booming exhaust note, a powerful air cooled, motor with push rods, and...gee, they are starting to sound just like the bike l know and love!!
ah, sorry,
cool as they may seem to some,THEY AIN"T ITALIAN !!!!!!!
True, not Italian. But one thing I love about my Guzzi is the fact that it doesn't emulate any other bike. Ducati's Monster has a bit of that left, but it's being copied more and more. The Buells have always caught my attention and I think they're becoming decent bikes. The whole thing for me is this- I like the idea of any bike that has a big, loud, air cooled mill hanging underneath and can cover ground quickly. That fact that my Lemans does it with style and comfort just seals the deal.

Man that sucks- I've had that happen to me before.
Probably for the best in the end. On the bright side, the bike seems to get a little better from the factory every year, so when you're ready... -
Hey fellow Tenni rider, get in touch !!
l've got Tenni #125 and will have this tenni registry going pretty soon
Nice! I've got #128. Maybe a road trip will be in order sometime...I'm sure the ride alone would be worth the trip!

Wow, I just paid that much for my Tenni, and it has 10000 on it. Nice buy indeed.

Hey all,
My name's Brian, I've been riding for about ten years. I'm in the military, currently stationed at Fallon, NV. First bike was a '72 CB500K, then a SECA 600, ('86 I think, can't be sure) then up till recently, a hard ridden Honda Magna 750 with a Vfour that I just couldn't ride nicely.
Just bought my first Guzzi, an '02 LeMans Tenni that I found in a dealership while in school down here in Oceanside CA, hidden waay back in the far corner as a consignment sale. The dealer new nothing about it, and pretty much wanted it out and away from his precious Aprilias and Dukes. I wasn't planning on buying a new bike this season, but after selling my '82 Honda, I haven't made it 6 months without looking for another bike. While stationed in Sicily I fell in love with everything Italian, and tried first a Ducati monster 750, and then a 749R. Loved them but had to leave em there. Import laws and all, didn't bother with US specs. I had my honda the whole time as well, and toured on it till the wheels fell off. Almost literally. Anyway, I have always loved the look and sound of the big LeMans, rode one on a few occasions over the last 4 or 5 years, and finally ended up with my Tenni, albeit a little unexpectedly. But I couldn't be happier. FBF pipes, x-over, PCIII and all the good stuff already done, the bike is great. I have to thank the whole forum, as I read over a lot of posts trying to boost my knowledge before jumping into the purchase, and I felt like I knew it before I got it home as a result. So thanks, and I'm happy as can be with my bike!

IMHO, on a well-tuned Guzzi, the FBF oval carbons and Stucchi x-over together make the best exhaust notes in all of motorcycling
, but that's just me, and as always, YMMV.I have to agree- just bought my first Guzzi, an 02' Tenni, with the same exact package and, after two Ducatis and a lot of Hondas and such, I'm beside myself. The bike's awesome.
