Red burns out early!! So it's not just a case of speed but also staying power!

Re: How come bike color affect its top speed ?

Sorry everyone, I have been off working for a few days and have not been able to keep an eye on this post. (thanks for all the cards and letters, and yes, I'm just fine).



Since I have been away, I have put some very careful thought into this thread and have come to a mind blowing conclusion .

Since it was "Bikewarrior" (now referred to here after as BW )who originally started this thread ( see page #1) and , since this threat has caused so much trouble for those of you that do not own a RED CBR 1100XX and have one of those other colors....of which we do not ________, I now blame this person (BW) for in fact , causing the 7 pages of pain and suffering that have now become the official battle grounds to fight the "color wars "


Now I don't know BW personally, and would hate to speak out against someone I don't know, but it has become clear to me, as I am sure it has to others on this forum , that bikewarrior must, in fact die..... Or at leased be banished to a small vegetarian country with muddy dirt roads. But in either case, something must be done.

I don't know about the rest of you, but this whole " which color is faster thing" has scarred me for life.......


















































Red, however is still faster.....thank god for that.

Re: How come bike color affect its top speed ?

Oooohhhh Lou the colour of your bike is colouring your vision. You are becoming such a violent person. Poor Bikewarrior must die now. If you had a more serene and laid back colour like 2007 Iron Nail Grey, then you would be more mellow and say that he doesn't in fact have to die, but may only have a Rodney King style beating lavished on him .

This laid back attitude means much less stress being exuded into the bike, and therefore the bike wants to go faster and faster.

Your right, violence never solved anything. However, a good beating....now we are on to something..........

Does anyone have a white blackbird?

Isn't this such fun!

I believe someone does, and has chimed in on this thread ....

Re: How come bike color affect its top speed ?

I think we need to escort you off this thread Lois, since you are becoming quite violent and threatening to your fellow blackbird brothers, Bouncers ...

It is surprising how adamant some people are in futile debates. I mean, why waste time on such meaningless banter when you know Blue is best!

Do you think this thread will cause a CBRxx civil war? Can't we reconcile our differences peacefully?

How about Black is mean, Red is racey, Blue is beautiful, Silver is spectacular, Iron Nail Grey is powerful strong, White is wise, Orange is Original, Pink is pretty ...

Life is like a Blackbird, it comes in many colours and with many mods but it holds a thrill that you can't imagine until you get on ... if you get thrown off you fight with all of your being to get back on ... it requires maintenance to travel safely and regular energy boosts to get from one experience to the next ... Ride deliberately, with purpose, always wave to other riders and stop to render assistance when it is needed.

... that's just a cop out b/c you know that Black is the fastest.
But, in order for you to save face, I will agree that Blue is beautiful and tranquil















AND Slower than Black! ... just like all those other colors, especially iro ... ( opps almost broke the rules ), and Red

now the thread can be locked ... hurry up, before anyone else posts after me

Re: How come bike color affect its top speed ?

I say black is best.....

I had the option of red or black when i went to by one and as said earlier in the thread as the name says Blackbird, not pink/silver/red/titain/candy red/.

Not much stealth is these colours is there.......

Imagine if the jet had went to war in these colours...........saying the enemy would probly died of laughter, whats that blue/silver/red/titainium/thingy in the sky,

Guess i bought the BLACKbird......

Cheers,

Colin.
