haha na, a few reasons. Just wasnt into red as much and the white is pearl metalic and has heaps more depth than the red. Its rarer, they had a black pani there too but im sick of swirls on black after black cars and bikes in the past. Theres 2 red ones at work and people at work says there a tradition in red but the white shows the lines better and looks better. Took it back to Frasiers for a service and they were taking potential customers into the service area to show them. I know its not everyones cup of tea but thats how I felt about the red. Dont get me wrong, if it was only red available Id still get the bike, its not a bad colour but to spend that sort of cash on a bike I wanted to be happy with everything.
I completely agree with you mate, I'm actually a white fan, I have a white Panigale and previously had the 848 and 1198 both white, quoting what someone said once it is a "white canvas", you can get it to look unique.
