Re: How come bike color affect its top speed ?

I see that we are still debating the fastest color. I thought that it had been decided long ago that Black was the fastest color. Ok so lets look at this scientifically. We all know that the bird sold more copies in the black version then any of the other colors. Perhaps more then all of the other colors combined.
Taking that into consideration and knowing that many bird owners mod their bikes for the strip you have to come to the conclusion that there are more BLACK ones that have been set up for racing. The numbers alone would mean that there are more fast black ones and that the fastest of the bunch is black. Now if we want to talk about stock birds then we would have to come to the same conclusion. Not every stock bike has the same HP out of the factory. The fact that there are more black ones would stack the odds in blacks corner. For all of you folks out there that are on colors other then black you can't argue with the numbers. I'm sure you will though. One day you will see the light. I mean the black.

i wish i wish my bike was red, but instead i drive a spider web.



hey you...yes you....down on your knees.......thank you, thats much better...
Oh grasshopper...red looks good on any barn.

I've got wolf spiders in my garage that would give you a couple lengths and still whip the daylights out of that red tart of yours.

Red means stop. How can stop mean fast?

The hill people sing songs of your blinding speed.

I myself have even partaken of the magic root ,and then ,dressed only in a loin cloth, rubbed myself from head to toe in white ash, and while in a drug induced hypnotic trance have chanted to your ever lasting speed and wisdom.....three times....this week.

I was on an Alaskan cruise in 1976 and I remember that even then, the old people spoke your name in reverance as they looked up into the crystal blue sky, while quietly wetting their pants.

And just to let you know, I'v had twenty seven thousand "fasterspider" buttons made up, and I am going to give 700 of them to everyone that orders a set PAIR valve covers from me.

You are fast.....you are the reason for speed limits in the desert....you are the "crackle" in Rice Krispies....you rock brother.

Sometimes late at night ,while I'm taking a nice relaxing 200mph ride on my red bird , up and down someones drive way, I pretend that I am you.


Keep on keeping on, fasterspider................... and I'll do the same.

as, fasterspider is among us.


Lois...............
Red Leader--could you press up an additional twelve thousand for myself? We've got a lot of work to do. Thanks.

When they broke the mold on the Bird they discovered that black wasn't doing it's justice for top speed and they started changing the colors. Pink and blue were next and made it even slower and thats when Silvers came out for the fastest year on 2002. When Honda realized that they were not going to beat the Busa they went back to black for the final year of 2003 in the states then they used extremely slower left over colors thereafter until 2007 when the Bird last saw production because top speed became irrelevant.
So you see you lowly incompetent yahoo's SILVER is the fastest color!!

Re: How come bike color affect its top speed ?

I knew I could count on you guys to try to argue against the scientific logic that was presented. The key word in that last sentance was "try". Honda did make the bike in many colors and they are all fast but there is a little known chip in the ECU called a IWTBBLIUTBSICBFA chip. It has a color detection circuit and automatically cuts off one of the cylinders once the color is changed to anything other then black. The good news is that it also works in reverse if you have a color other then black and then paint the bike black the chip recognizes the color change and the world is good again. The full name of the chip is I Want To Be Black Like I Used To Be So I Can Be Fastest Again.

Re: How come bike color affect its top speed ?

thank gawd I already have a black bike, it would suck to have to spend that kind of money to paint an ugly color to black just to go as fast as I already do, I do feel bad for the rest of you and to make it up to one unlucky sole out there I will donate my black plastic when Its time to buy some new ones

What a Load of DRIBBLE. For a moment there STREK you almost had me. Then you stumbled and fell like a broken down old hack. You see we of the RED BRIGADE know for a fact that CHIPS only come in Barbeque, Salt n Vinegar, Chicken and Original. ( I myself like the Thin cut ones ). Have never seen a packet of jdfytrnbdmkscxuydsgebjdfgh Chips in any store, So there. Nice Try. But We Win Again. RED RULES.

PH005 you never heard of the chip because you have been to busy eating all of the chips you mentioned above. The chip that I mentioned is an IC chip. It is kettle cooked. Well it is on the black ones.

That explains the misfiring you heard when I went past you on my mercurial steed.
