Wow!!! That really pops. I'm looking forward to seeing it on the bike, in the sunlight.

Buggered if I know? Over here it's just known generically as 'Mazda Red'. I'll ask Jacko, the bloke who did it for me.

Every time I drive past a Mazda red car I tell the missus that Mazda have the best version of that colour. It will be interesting to see on the Guzzi

I think its called "RED FIRE METALLIC"...We had a 2005 Mazda Tribute we bought new and it looked just like the color on your tank.

The GRiSO Tourismo is due for a service and needs it's clutch master cylinder rebuilding/replacing as it's seals are gone and you can't change gear quickly as multiple, rapid, pulls result in not enough lift so the box won't shift! Pain in the arse but it's OK for just cruisin' about. Needs fixing though and I have the parts. AFTER that is done we'll swap the bodywork. Last thing I want to do is splash DOT 5.1 all over my spiffy new paint.
I also only have red badges for the 'Wings'. I asked Mark and he confirmed that red badges on *That* red would look like puke so I'll have to get some black ones, which of course are 'Nil Stock' at my supplier. No matter. I'll probably just cut some black vinyl wrap to shape to put in there until the badges arrive but it will need a bit of contrast or it will be overpowering.
Biggest problem though is this bike is now going to be so pretty I fear I'm going to have to do something about the exhaust. It's currently running Mark's thrice crashed Mistral Hi-Pipe and it's scruffy as buggery. It doesn't really worry me, especially as it will be hidden behind the pannier most of the time but Mistral make a very nice 'Fake Ti' version of the same pipe, (Peter Hill has one on his GRiSO.) that I think would look sweet with the paint.
(Sigh......)

Definitely will need black badges, Pete. Don't you have a stock "8" exhaust lying around? It'll be an instant classic.
