Re: How come bike color affect its top speed ?

Wigo is absolutely correct. Thats why Honda made the IWTBBLIUTBSICBFA chip. Honda actually starts by making all of the bikes BLACK. Then it paints them the slower colors for those of you who aren't ready for the full force of the BLACKBIRD. They thought ahead and included the IWTBBLIUTBSICBFA chip for those that do eventually grow a pair and decide that they want to be on the fastest BLACKBIRD and then decide to paint their bikes BLACK. Basically all of the red silver blue white orange pink whatever color bikes that then paint them BLACK again. The presence of the chip means that you don't have to bring the bike back into the shop after you paint it BLACK again.
As you will recall he 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 ?

You are all intensionally bumping your heads against the wall for some insane reason I cannot fathom.
Honda is red because red is the fastest.
Therefore when they wanted a fastest blackbird and had already made them of colors we do not speak for testing purposes, they knew they had to make red Bird.
It was not to satisfy anyone else but Mr Shoichiro Honda's dream to build the largest and fastest sport bike Honda would put out to date.
When the Blackbird 2.0 comes out, it will be red and you owners of color we do not speak Birds will all bow down to the masterful colored red CBRXX Blackbird 2.0.

Back to the Bird that I saw at the dealer which had 2" thick chicken strips and a 2" wide flat spot all the way around the tires from only seeing local street & freeway use, judging that book by the cover was the only thing I could do.
It was a sad specimen that brought a tear to my eye because someone would actually bring their tore up Blackbird to the dealer/stealer for service. The condition the bike was in was down right depressing and if for sale could have asked no more than $2000.00 at most.

The CBR1100XX Super Blackbird of any year or color in this country or any country from around the world is a bike that should be superiorly taken care of and properly maintained inside and out.
My red CBR1100XX Super Blackbird is clean and very healthy because before she was my bike, she was well maintained and since she has become my bike she has gotten even more love and care to make her the pretttiest and best performing CBR1100XX in California and maybe the world.

My Bird is a Honda and therefore it is properly colored with the color Mr Honda chose for his race teams, red.

You all with Birds of colors we do not speak are deluded and need to wake up and see that under your wrongfully colored exterior paint, your Birds are red.

It's snowin' hard in Studio City, boys. Why is it every time you red 'bird owners use the bathroom you come out with a runny nose?

The reason Honda made red blackbirds is they knew a certain number of buyers were only after parking lot queens. Voila. It worked. Even I can't take my eyes off them - in the lot or in my rear view mirrors.

Re: How come bike color affect its top speed ?

The colour of anything is irrelevant, when you are going fast enough all colour changes to a silver blur, simply because the eye cannot distinguish
colour at speed, The worlds fastest train is silver, 574.8 klms or 357.2 mph
I feel very sorry for you uneducated people that dont have a silver fast bike,
and it gets up my nose that I have to pull up and wait for you mediocre and dull coloured Mopeds every twenty miles or so to allow you to catch up, By the time you catch up, I am usually half pissed ( drunk) waiting for you.

Re: How come bike color affect its top speed ?

Ah now I see deadman....
You are too drunk to notice that if you are riding with a black bird he is in front of you and so far in front of you that in your state of mind you think they are behind you... so being the nice guys that black bird riders are... we circle back and let you think you left us in the dirt...
That is OK we black bird riders understand and have to put up with a lot from you other color riders. Including red snoots.

Re: How come bike color affect its top speed ?

The IWTBBLIUTBSICBFA chip was an excellent product, untill Honda found that painting their bikes SILVER made the chip redundant, and obsolete,
I really dont mind waiting for you, Your all a top crowd, even if you are all so sloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow, eat your heart out, slow pokes,

Deadman... I see you fell for the Honda advertising and marketing campaign. Don't worry there are a lot of others who also bought silver off of that same marketing campaign. I'm sure you remember it. The one where they advertised that the SILVER made the chip redundant and obsolete. That was the idea of Mr. Honda's grandchild who was promoted to head of marketing around that time. He has a rather long name. Mr. IlsayanythingtosellthoseslowernonBLACKbirds Honda. After a short period of time when it became apparent that the non Black bikes were indeed slower a class action law suit was filed. Honda lost the court case. A condition of the settlement was that Honda had to pubically admit that they had misled the public. They also had to offer a
recall notice. The fix for the recall was to have the owners bring the bikes in
and then Honda would paint them BLACK again. Since the chip really did work that was all that was needed. If I were you I would contact my local Honda dealer and take it in for the recall.

Re: How come bike color affect its top speed ?

But it only applied to pre 2000 blackbirds, the obsolete ones, the slow ones and the ones painted That dead colour like BLACK, tsk tsk tsk. YOU WILL HAVE TO COME UP WITH A BETTER LOAD OF CRAP THAN THAT,

Re: How come bike color affect its top speed ?

Then on the Third day, the Silver Blackbird Riders got drunk and rode over and punched the crap out of the Black Blackbird Riders. The Blue Blackbird riders thought ( and that was strange in itself ) that they would go over and help the Black and Blue Blackbird Riders but confused them with the Silver and Blackened Blackbird Riders and procedded to punch the crap out of themselves. After much punching , scratching , pokeing , and farting they all laid down under a big shady tree and looked into each others eyes. Sick.
Meanwhile the Red Brigade went about what they do Best. Burning up tarmak and scaring other bike users off the roads.
So ends the sermon. Amen.

Re: How come bike color affect its top speed ?

Deadman... You will need to go and look at the recall notice better. It covers all model years where they used end colors other then BLACK.

PH005...BLACKBIRD riders are too fast to catch to punch. At least in your post you mention the real name of the bike and in doing so pay homage to the fastest color. BLACKBIRD
