Right guys, thought I'd try and do a wee poll to find out the fastest colour as I've heard varying statements saying certain colours are faster than others ;-)
Get voting and have your say here :-)

You're cheating........ There's no button for the real fastest colour ! SILVER

Right, science!

Right, ya 'orrible lot, pay attention!

As we can see, on the left (sloooowww!) is blue, in the 450nm range, with silver just next to it. Then green (although thankfully, not many Fazers are that colour!!). At about 600nm, we have yellow. But when we get to 675 - 750nm, then we get red, and faster. However, off the right of red, off the scale, we have black. Therefore faster!

Black being faster can also be proved by Doppler. Light coloured bikes have a higher refractive index, therefore reflect more. By reflecting, you detract from your total energy. However, darker colours absorb engery, thus increasing the total energy of the system. Black is the most absorbant.

Energy = power, and power = speed.

Therefore, as black bikes have the most energy, they have the highest speed. QED

BTW - the red bikes may get more votes because the armchair riders are at home - black bike riders are enjoying the speed of their bikes to much to stop!

fazersharp · « **Reply #9 on:** 03 April 2015, 10:55:21 pm »

Agreed its black
Black is the original and best colour

Black stops faster, especially when there's a Merc or a car park barrier involved

PMSL he can't get his own facts right "off the left of red" think you mean right which means you just said red bikes are faster than black.
Plus any colour bike is faster than yours Christo as you don't have one.

Dead Eye · « **Reply #13 on:** 03 April 2015, 11:33:41 pm »

I voted Red just to piss off Christo...

Plus my Blue bike hasn't moved under its own power in 18 months and Grey isn't an option :P (Grey is not Silver!)

My Red bike on the other hand was so fast that it caught on fire

fazersharp · « **Reply #14 on:** 03 April 2015, 11:41:28 pm »

Thinking about it did they stop making black before foxeye I dont ever remember seeing a black foxeye, Same question for other colours

there is no button because it was not fast enough to be even considered

unfazed · « **Reply #16 on:** 04 April 2015, 12:35:22 am »

Only three colours in the Foxeye

Red Fastest
Blue Slowest
Silver, because Yamaha had a sense of humour

Skippernick - I am only a confused silver bike owner, remember!

The speed of anything can only be judged by the complete slowness of Blue bikes....It's a unit of measurement

for example a Red bike has the speed of 10 Blues

Silver bike has the speed of 8 Blues

Black bike has the speed of 5 Blues

Yellow bike has the speed of 2.75 Blues

A sloth has the speed of 2 BLues

Nissan Micra has the speed of 1.5 BLues

Polar ice caps are melting at a rate of 1.2375 Blues per year

A spam sandwich has the speed of 1.00008 Blues

Been done before, i believe black would've been the clear winner until some dastardly silver cheater hacked the survey 'cos they couldn't bear to lose!

Yay you can now join my clan with the fastest silver bikes.

Oh I better keep an eye on them then lol
I like a good clean honest fight lads, no cheating here ;-)
(but I do want red to win lol)

Lez72 · « **Reply #22 on:** 04 April 2015, 09:14:47 am »

Definitely black.

darrsi · « **Reply #23 on:** 04 April 2015, 10:19:26 am »

So, if me, Christo, Fazersharp and Lez72 are all saying black, why are there only 3 black votes???

Has this survey been rigged already?
