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.

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.

Consider it the Ferrari of motorcycles.
I'd take an Agusta over any Ducati any day of the week and twice on Sunday
