The explanation of grey (or silver, a derivitive thereof) could be fast, but it is destined to forever hold back. See any postings by Silverbird. SilverXXRider, there must be solace to be found, somewhere.
A derivitive, I say! I'm try'na be funny here!!
Hopefully the Red, Blue and Silver were still built by Honda in Japan like the Black ones. I was blowing up a pic of my friends Ducati and under certain light I found what looked like a paint defect but look real close it's not, it's built at another plant.
Any color that lacks strong chromatic content is said to be unsaturated, achromatic, or near neutral. Pure achromatic colors include black, white and all greys.
Black absorbs all light in the color spectrum, is often used as a symbol of menace or evil, is associated with death and mourning in many cultures, it is also associated with unhappiness and silence. Black can also prevent us from growing and changing. We often cloak ourselves in black to hide from the world.
Grey acts as a shield from outside influence. However grey generally has a negative feeling associated with fog, clouds and smoke. Grey is the colour of evasion and non-commitment since it is neither black nor white. It relates to walling everything off, remaining separate, uncommitted and uninvolved.
Silver is the colour of the moon, which is ever changing. It balances, harmonises and is mentally cleansing.
Red is a bright, warm color that evokes strong emotions. It is considered an intense, or even angry, color that creates feelings of excitement or intensity. Red is the colour of blood and has a stimulating action on our heart and circulation; red light will raise the blood pressure.
Blue is described as a favourite colour by many people and is one of the most popular colours. It calls to mind feelings of calmness or serenity. It is often described as peaceful, tranquil, secure, and orderly. People are more productive in blue rooms and on blue bikes.
Blue is a cool, calming colour. It represents the night, so makes us feel calm and relaxed as if we are being soothed by the deep blue of the night sky. Light and soft blues make us feel quiet and protected from all the vehicles and scenery flying past us.
Blue is a cool colour and red is a warm colour and black is …?
Warm colours like red “appear more active” without actually being more active so that’s why police pull them over more. “Cool colours tend to recede” quicker so the police know they have no hope of catching them.
Blue and red are primary (pure) colours but isn’t red just a dark shade of pink!
So for me, blue is for primary (pure) blackbird enthusiasts.
Finally speed depends not on colour but on rider!
Note: I have sourced my information from the internet. I have edited, added to and cut anything that didn’t suit my perspective.
Matt Gun-metal Black Birds are fastest, They get the same paint job as the stealth bomber as they are too fast n streamlined for radar detection or any gloss shine has been stripped off by the sheer speed.
IMO
If you vote for me I will ensure that blackbirds will be excempt from all road rules because they are inherently safe and there will be roads improved and set aside just for motorbikes.
Did I strike a nerve?
I'm happy to be riding a tranquil, peaceful bike! I don't really care what the colour, blackbirds are FINE!
I cant believe how many times, and for how long the color debate has been on the forum.
What it comes down too, the larger the honda wing, the more you can fly. Added to the color debate, which seems to point to silver. I think that my blue/silver/black with the honda wing takes the prize.
No way, man!
the combination of those three colors cause way too much turbulance!
I'm surprised you aren't aware of that.

A few thoughts on "colors". Please do not be offended. You chose the color of your Bird. You had a choice. Now, please view this listing as it relates to speed. Other topics may follow...
I am really enjoying this thread and all the creative posts!!!!
But lest we hijack the thread...I've got more bad new for black. I hear from a credible source that black isn't even a color!!!(and no, it's not a colour either)
