Which 'colour' is faster - DEFINITIVE ANSWER

[VladTepes]

BLACK is fastest.

Evidence follows:


BLUE & WHITE - slow.


BLACK. Fast.

Oh perhaps that's an isolated example you say? Choose two Suzukis you say?


Slow.


FAST



Oh you want GSX1400's specifically?  OK.


Slow


FAST


Well, here ends that argument.

What is that first blue & white one? a Hardly?    Looks like grandma's curtains.

[KiwiCol]

I know that's not you on the black 14 Mick, cause that guy is actually riding his.   

[Sweaty]

And, because you Black owners are obviously colour blind.
Your first bike pic is more of a Turquoise & white
and the second is a Blue & silver.
So, thank God you chose to own a black bike otherwise you would probably be riding around on a Pink & Purple that you think is a B&W 

[Batkwaka]

White reflects light so improves the Power to weight whilst black absorbs all the light making it heavier and slower.
So science says White is faster! 

[KiwiCol]

so how much does light weigh again? 

[Batkwaka]

so how much does light weigh again? 

I'm not sure, I asked once but he just waved and took off in a straight line. 🤓

[KiwiCol]

I reckon it's probably 1kg per lumen, 1 for 1, that's how these things usually work out.     So what's daylight then?  7 - 8,000 lumens? 

[Batkwaka]

Well, I've weighed Cows Milk and I've weighed Light Milk and their about the same so I'm guessing a whole Light would weigh about a Heifferlump.   

[KiwiCol]

Cool, agreed.  Reckon I'm more of a full hefferlump meself, so that makes 1½ hefferlumps on me bike.

[seth]

now your really starting to confuse the issue
hefferlumps are a measurement of time not weight 

[KiwiCol]

Awesome Seth!!

[seth]

just one thing tho
the very fastest bikes on the planet are blue and white, orange and blue or red .
none are black
they do use black fairings ect when testing but add the colour when they want to go really fast when racing.

[KiwiCol]

So by what you're saying, black is underneath carrying the bloody colours as well as the bike & rider.  Yes?

[seth]

they do have to cover up the black when racing or it would slow the bikes down to testing speeds due to all the light it was absorbing .
