Griso 8V colors - Red & Orange?

[usedtobefast]

Looking at Grisos, 8V models, in the US.

Did they make a Red and an Orange?  Some dealers call the color Rosso, some say Red, and a few are saying Orange (the ones saying Orange are used bikes at a non Moto Guzzi dealership).

I found an internet reference to "Corsa Red" and "Satin Orange" as two different Griso colors, not sure I trust that info.

I've seen a 2017 Rosso at a dealer (many months back), it was inside, and I recall it clearly being Red.  Then I'm looking at a used 2015 the non Guzzi Dealer is calling "Red", pictures taken outdoors, and it sure looks like a burnt Orange to me.

And the problem is I'm shopping from many hours away just looking at photos the dealerships have taken. 

Maybe the 2015 was a "Satin Orange" and the 2017 is a "Rosso"?

The 2015 and on models were mostly the 'Diavolo Rosso' scheme which is a sort of luminescent red. There were some genuinely 'Orange' Griso's but I think they were only sold in Europe.

Here is the one the non MG dealer is calling orange:

And here is a studio shot of a Rosso Griso:






So I guess the lighting is such that these are the same color? 

Again, pain is trying to location and buy a bike remote, not like I have a number of red Griso's nearby.

They are the same. That's the Diavolo Rosso as Pete says. i have a friend with one, and to my eye it's more of a burnt rust color than 'red'.

Here's a photo of our bikes together, no filter. Proper Guzzi Factory red on the Jackal, and your Rosso on the Griso. Beautiful color, but red?

I guess "burnt rust" doesn't sound so great!   

But with google translator ... burnt rust color = colore ruggine bruciata

"My Griso is ruggine bruciata" ... that sounds kind of ok.   


So, OK, sounds like one "red" color for US models, but looks kind of orange, or burnt orange, or rust color, in certain light.

Thanks!

Mines a 2016 and they call it Rosso, but to me its a more burnt orange color.
