9k RPM and 13k RPM

I picked up my RX-8 yesterday and I have already racked up 270 miles of backroad twisties. The high-reving rotary is not all that far removed from the feeling of a motorcycle inline-4. It's a blast.

I'm seeing a lot of new silvers. Makes me wonder what the most popular color is. I had though it was Ti.

My dealer had a disproportionately large number of silver cars on hand. As a result, I was able to swing a better deal on a silver RX-8 versus the other colors.

As for popularity, red seems to be the color of choice in my neck of the woods.

Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

An MV Agusta is a top of the line Italian motorcycle.

Consider it the Ferrari of motorcycles.

I'd take an Agusta over any Ducati any day of the week and twice on Sunday
