Colour doesn't exist without light.

In the dark everything is black.

If Black is the absence of colour then it follows that no colour=less weight=BLACK IS FASTEST: QED! End of argument; so all those with heavier colours just quit whinging and live with it! :smt019

Aahh... not quite. Black absorbs energy and it follows that, on sunny days, black absorbs more energy, adding to the bikes BHP and is, therefore, much faster. Most colours of bike absorb some energy as can be witnessed on any good sunny day when they are clearly going much quicker than when the weather is dull & cold. Obviously, lighter colours absorb less energy which makes them slower on sunny days - and YELLOW ABSORBS THE LEAST OF ALL!!!!!
See? You can't argue with science! :smt004

First posting,
Only found the site recently, after the MCN exposure.
Had my Falco for nearly 6 years now
Looked around after 1 year but not seen anything better, so stopped looking.
Hope to meet up with some of you through the year, maybe the lads going to the IOM, stopping in Crosby.
So that makes 3 Falcos on the island.

Oh nearly forgot, Red is best.
