MOTO GUZZI V11 Le Mans Tenni (2001-2002) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2001, alongside the Le Mans, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer launched the Moto Guzzi V11 Le Mans Tenni, a limited edition motorcycle made in 170 units in homage to the Italian driver Omobono Tenni, wearing the colors of the short-lived V8 500 competition car from 1955.

The bike's head fairing was painted green with white numbers, the aluminum fuel tank and front fender were finished in grey, and the seat was upholstered in brown Alcantara leather. It was fitted with a single-plate clutch and was sold between October 2001 and January 2002.

In the visual department, the 2001 Moto Guzzi V11 Le Mans Tenni had standard features, such as a front fairing with a round headlight and a medium-sized windscreen, a single seat, a dual exhaust system, and three-spoke alloy wheels.

The bike's suspension system comprised a 40 mm Marzocchi inverted telescopic fork on the front and a cantilever swingarm with a Sachs-Boge monoshock on the rear, providing excellent suspension performance and handling.

The braking performance was handled by two 320 mm discs mounted on the front wheel coupled to four-piston calipers and a 282 mm disc on the rear wheel tied to a dual-piston caliper.

As for the power figures, the 2001 limited edition model had its heartbeat set by a 1.064cc four-stroke air-cooled V-twin engine that delivered 91 hp at 7,800 rpm and 94 Nm (69 lb-ft) torque at 6,000 rpm.
