And saw the black F4 1000R and have to saw what a beauty and if I was to upgrade to the R it would be a black one in a heart beat. I have the 05 in red and silver and wouldn't give that up to the new red oneThey had a red and silver 1000R and a 312 in red. . There is just someting with not having the MV AGUSTA lettering in blue. The other interesting thing is the 312 and the red R are two different reds. One is a nice rich red and to me the other looked like it was left out in the sun.

Thats odd, which one appeared faded...I thought they were the same color.

Don't recallbut two different shades of red. I am thinking the 312 but really don't remember. When I go into this shop I am always in aw after looking at a few of the masterpieces.

On the red hue issue:

By chance was one of the red bikes next to a window (natural light) and one stuffed away back in a corner (flourescent light).

Flourescent light will make anything that's red in paint color look bad.
