fastest colour???

[DoubleD]

So what is the fastest colour to have on your bike....



My vote is BLACK!

[dirtydog]

yawn not this again

[DoubleD]

yawn not this again

:oops: sorry I'm new here and this is first "fastest colour" thread i've seen :oops:

[dirtydog]

It's been done to death mate.


Do a search for it.

[Ping]

That's a bit harsh... There are plenty of noobs on the site that haven't been through the required fastest colour debate... don't take it away from them... :?


And yes, BLACK it is.


;)

[Law]

Technically colours do not affect the speed of your bike. Black is 8) though

[Caddy2000]

Everyone knows it's blue - we've been there!!

Nuff said!

[jenni]

lol


surley it's any colour thats not the girly 2006 colours :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :wink:

[northwind]

The colour itself doesn't change the speed. However, until one of the racers come along, I can safely say green and silver is the fastest 650 8) Or would be, if it weren't ridden by an incompetent :lol:

[SoulKiss]

The guy in the dealer said it was Red ones that was faster - you telling me he lied :P

David

Dealers ALWAYS lie.

Everyone knows blue ones are fastest :D

[Demonz]

Always said yellow - black is the new yellow...

[Jester666]

BLOO :lol: :lol:

[SoulKiss]

Nah, Red is faster thats why.....

Chuck Norris rides a Red SV :)

[Tara]

Blue

[falc]

Always said yellow - black is the new yellow...

You mean black AND yellow 8)

[M65]

Its blue BLUE BLUE

Light travels the same speed through a vacuum at all wavelengths, but when we send the light through something other than a vacuum, like glass we see that light bends/slows, this is seen through Snell’s law below

n1*sin(theta1) = n2*sin(theta2)

the part in the equation n1 & n2 are called the index of refraction, it is the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum divided by the speed of light in that substance, so an index of refraction of 1 means that you are in a vacuum b/c the speed of light travels the same speed it would in a vacuum. But if you send light through water, water has an index of refraction and light slows down. The process of light slowing down bends the angle at which the direct ray of light travels, so the MORE light slows down the MORE it bends, now say you have a drop of water suspended in a vacuum above your head, white light (which is composed of all frequencies of visible light) hits this clear drop of water and is slowed down and bends, but the different frequencies of light that compose the white light bend different amounts (this amount is small but visible from a distance) the lower frequency light is less affected by the drop of water as it has a longer wavelength and oscillates a lesser amount of times through the distance of the water drop, the higher frequency light oscillates many times through the same water drop and is slowed down more because of it so it bends more. This process is called diffraction and causes the spectrum of colours in white light to diffract when sent through matter. The blue light (higher frequency) is bent more and the red light is bend less and through this distance of bending is a gradient of light that we call a rainbow.

So to answer your question, the speed of light is the same for all frequencies in a vacuum BUT when you send light through matter is slows down a certain amount, red light (lower frequency) travels faster than blue light (higher frequency).

The lower frequencies are affected less by travelling through matter, this is why infrared light is used in fibre optics as opposed to ultraviolet or visible light.

Glad I got a RED bike

[tricky]

Blah blah blah, science etc

Glad I got a RED bike

So based on your theory then, in decending order of fastnest

Red
Orange
Yellow
Green
Blue
Violet

That still doesn't account for black, which is the absence of all light, therfore will not be affected at all. ergo Black is the fastest :wink:

[CheekyLemon]

I bought a black one, so black gets my vote.

[dirtydog]

That's a bit harsh... There are plenty of noobs on the site that haven't been through the required fastest colour debate... don't take it away from them... :?


And yes, BLACK it is.


;)


but it has been done sooooo many times!!!

[Spiderman]

look i understand the jealousy that all you non Blues have but lets be real about this for a mo, yeh?

I was having a pint with Mr Shigonoria Najakumini a few days before i bought my bike. For those of you who dont know, he's the man who was in charge of project SV for Suzuki. He told me that in all the testing they did they found that BLUE bikes went fastest, pulled the most members of the opposite sex and we generaly the stud muffin-iest bikes out there. Especialy the naked ones.

So i bought a blue naked and since then its been a blur of light speed commutes and beating women off with a mucky stick.

As a wise man once said..... FACT!

And it'll more than likely continue to be done many more times because it is one of the fun debates that all new bikers inevitably get drawn into. Accept it, move on.... ;)

[Beenz]

Everyone knows the metallic red of the K5S is the quickest, those who couldn't get one ended up with black or blue of the pointy version. 8)

[Viney]

The futures fast...the futures Blue and Orange

[Stu]

Funniest thread I've read in a while. Thanks DD for giving it your support!

Me, I'm smashing up one panel at a time, changing it's colour and finding out the results!! :lol:

Ok Ok carry on

BLUE

Strange how no-one has mentioned the silver/metallic grey or bronze/metallic brown yet?

Still, I say yellow (but sadly not with me riding it though).

This link also explains it.

But I'd like to say, WHICH IS THE NICEST COLOUR!?

[Warthog]

Blue. Fact. lol

Looks ginger.

[Iansv]

Blue for sv's Yellow for CBR600rr's :P

[kwak zzr]

silver!

[Spiderman]

silver!

You mean undercoat dont you?

[Daimo]

Black, but none of this plain black, the pointy pearlesant black (greeny tint) is by far the fastest. Especially when you have a tinted double screen to match :wink:

[kwak zzr]

silver!

You mean undercoat dont you?

no i mean k3 original silver, the way it was ment to be with the silver alloy frame. :lol:

[simple simon]

:winner:


Silver it is. I found that the black screen and hugger I added have slowed my bike down and then the Iridium Blueflame - which has every other colour - slowed it more.

So finally, by balancing Silver with a few dots of other colours, my Silver SV is still increadibly quick but now manageable!

[Red ones]

The guy in the dealer said it was Red ones that was faster - you telling me he lied :P


The dealer was not talking colour at that point!

La-la-la, I studied science at school dum de dum

Glad I got a RED bike

But your argument is based on the speed of light:

Whenever I walk into a room and switch on a light, it's always dark. Therefore the speed of dark is faster than the speed of light.

Also, if you drop something light (IE a feather) and something heavy (say a 6'5, 18 stone biker), from a height, the biker will hit first. Therefore, heavy is also faster than light. This is due to Harmworths Law of Fat Blokes Dropping Like Stones.

Due to this, I can conclusively state that my black K5 (Wiv a black frame, of course) is the fastest...

:lol:

Wow :shock: All that good logic makes a lot of sense too.




















Unitl you remember the answer to the question is simply BLUE
;)

[Baph]

Have you tried changing the bulb?

But surely everyone knows the fastestest bike is the K6 Blue!

[cuffy]

Blue and Curvy i think you will find are the fastest in the whole wide world. :D

[Bear]

... something heavy (say a 6'5, 18 stone biker)... :lol:

I'm bigger than you. Black is fastest...

:twisted: :lol: :wink:

[rwoodcock01]

RED


End off :-D
