fastest colour???

Blue. Fact. lol

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!

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

Looks ginger.

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

silver!

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

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

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 dealer was not talking colour at that point!
