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
-
Oh God, not another of these bloody threads! :lol :lol

Sorry, relatively new here, think I've sorted it though :-)

Just get your vote in Chris, it's better than the foccing election lol

Right, science!

Right, ya 'orrible lot, pay attention! :lol :lol
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 :lol .
-
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! :rollin :rollin
-
:agree Agreed its black
Black is the original and best colour

And I'm.guessing your riding and typing at the same time Chris? lol

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

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. :rollin
-
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 :evil :evil :lol :lol
-
Thinking about it did they stop making black before foxeye I dont ever remember seeing a black foxeye, Same question for other colours
-
You're cheating........ There's no button for the real fastest colour ! SILVER
there is no button because it was not fast enough to be even considered :lol
-
Only three colours in the Foxeye
Red Fastest
Blue Slowest
Silver, because Yamaha had a sense of humour :lol

Nah, mate, my bike's silver! :lol :lol (OK, and in bits)
Skippernick - I am only a confused silver bike owner, remember! :lol Message corrected.
-
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!

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)
-
Definitely black.
-
So, if me, Christo, Fazersharp and Lez72 are all saying black, why are there only 3 black votes??? :rolleyes
Has this survey been rigged already? :look

Apart from Obama, blacks never get the vote
-
Rather than anything else I think this is just a survey of which is the most common colour and as they only did the black in boxeye
-

Someone has to keep up the exclusive top end! :lol :lol
-
Yep definitely black!
-
Colour is just a red ( :rolleyes) herring. The crucial requirement for all fast Yamahas is does it have speed blocks? If you don't have speed blocks, you is slow baby :D
-
No dark metalic grey in the mix, this one is the fastest even with the Pizza delivery top box on it.

Maybe only 3 of you voted? You might say what's faster but you need to vote??
Has this survey been rigged already? :look
Definitely not! B-)
Red is still winning so far as they are quicker of the mark lol
-
Everyone knows that it's Yellon (and black).
I think you'll find that the survey backs me up on this at the end too...
;)
:rollin
-
Yellon - exactly where does that colour sit in the spectrum........and in the Yamaha colour range come to think of it.
:) :)
-
When people talk of speed I've heard the colour brown mentioned on more than one occasion, but it's not on the list?

Brown is the result of a blue bike owner getting a go on a red bike, it usually washes off :lol

Black will overtake at the end when it counts.

Lol, is that not where they normally are? At the end???
-
I'm a bit colour blind, Lew's bike actually looks black to me, does that count? :lol

Looking at all of this scientific research (Top Gear would have been proud :rollin :rollin :rollin ), I am sooo glad I purchased a RED one :lol :lol :lol

So am I spotty, think our red bikes are soooo fasttttt

Poor deluded fools. :lol :lol :lol

Just voted ;) :lol

Guessing it's red for you? Lol

Poor deluded fools. :lol :lol :lol
Says the fellow with a trailer :lol
Couldn't have towed with a silver or red bike - not fast enough! :lol
-
The trailer ???? :rollin
-
The trailer ???? :rollin
Precisely!
The trailer's black!
Couldn't have a red bike towing - the trailer would try and overtake it! Or, if behind a silver bike, turn around, and tow the Fazer out of sheer desperation! :lol :lol
-
So the results show red being fastest, yeehaa ☺
-
Never in doubt!

We would not allow a red bike to tow a trailer because it would be to embarrassing for black bike owners to be overtaken by a red bike towing a trailer. :lol :lol

Why would I want to tow a black trailer :lol :lol

Didn't say you did. But if you try towing a red or silver trailer, you'll go nowhere! :lol :lol
My dad sometimes tows a small silver trailer behind his red minibus - slow as a sloth!
