Just coz black's quite clearly the fastest colour.

:smt006
I'm sure they're black cos the silver ones go so much faster leaving a black hole behind.

It's got something technical and scientific to do with the spectrum of colours and light and how they are viewed as speed rises.

Hmm, if you look at the stars, they appear to have a red tint due to expansion of the universe - "red shift". Theory goes, when the universe begins to contract (i.e. go backwards), they'll be blue.

Therefore, blue ones are blue because they're so slow, they're actually going backwards, giving them a blue tint. And they're so rare because the universe isn't imploding

And if you understood that, can you explain it to me :smt017

I think the red tint is not something you can see with the naked eye, its related to Doppler shift and is only visible through an infra-red telescope.

Blue shift is a gravitational force ie if your bike is blue or has blue in it, its the slowest version available, I found this after I had my Blackbird painted, a CB500 crushed me round Brands Hatch, it was so embarrassing. That's why I'm getting a silver bike (simply because they are the fastest as light is seen as a white background and silver is a metallised white ). :smt001

whooooaaahhh there boys, you ALL know "There can be only one" colour which is the fastest and that's the......RED RED RED one, (repeat the mantra each night before bed and first thing in the morning).

I mean it gleams and shouts LOOK AT ME, like a flame from a gun barrel as it passes you bye.... (now where is the bunker entrance) :smt073

A CB500 let loose at Brands will pretty much eat anything without a race number on it.

It's the law. Corner speed is everything

Can't be bothered with all this technical/scientific argument.
It's simple really, if you wanna go quick...... there's only one way...........
