which color is fastest, time to get down and dirty

[ED209]

The way I see it:

Red, it has less scratches so its a little smoother and aerodynamic. Red is also a furious color and should be considered a force to reckon with. :stirthepot:

All that maybe true but, they spend more time along side the road getting wrote up for speeding. We all know red is a ticket magnet.:nono:

[F6B-RICH]

BLACK.batman-smilie.

[coffee_weasle]

wasn't there a cartoon in the late 50's that had invisible paint?

(not Roger Ramjet and his HAHAHA motorcycle) :catfight:

[ED209]

I got to see the yellow F6B at the bike week Honda display :icon_cool::yes::yes: that one looked fast .notworthy.

[CaptRob]

Until I get a repaint, Black is the fastest color to be found on a F6B!!;hdrider;

Isn't Black always fastest.............

[edgeman55]

Black is the fastest most baddass look on the F6B.Plus they can't hear me or see me at night when I blow by them:yes:

[Retired Army]

As Hillary would say, "what difference does it make?" They all shut down at 125 mph.

[Elin in So. Cal.]

Silly boys... an old cowpoke back in the day had some good advice for me when I was shopping for (yet another) horse...

"Honey, you cain't ride the color."

Gotta love old cowboys. :biker:

And this art student already solved the problem. New problem, though. She can't move it.

Red!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! .

[ED209]

Looks like 4 Reds vs 6 blacks so far. Come on Reds..............

[firetech]

BLACK... The black just looks fast sitting still. Just imagine it in motion.... WOW

[choptop]

Black F6b, black charger, black harley, up until last weekend, once you go black...

That makes 8

Found this on Google.
Light travels at a constant speed in vaccum... 3 x 10^8 m/s...
But in media like air, glass, different wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum travel at different speeds.
Refractive Index n is inversely proportional to wavelength of light.
But refractive index = Speed of light in Vaccum/Speed of light in medium
Hence, speed of light in media is directly proportional to wavelength...
Since wavelength increases from Violet to Red,
Red travels the fastest...
Violet travels the slowest... RED ! :041:

HAHAHA, Dickie!!! Reminds me of that Johnny Cash song, "One piece at a time", remember that one?

It's a purple one, a gold one, a red one, a black one, and a blue sparkly motorcycle too...

At least for a few years, anyway!!!

[Texas TC]

Don't know which is fastest, but my red deluxe is fast enough for me.:icon_biggrin:

[choptop]

Hacked from Hondas secret interoffice memos: the color red is to be discontinued it is slowing us down, black is the fastest.lol

This should lay this discussion to rest

Another memo from Honda, tic tictic tic typewriter ticking. All black F6B's north of Tennessee will be refered to as

[Retired Army]

It takes more pigment to produce black paint than red therefore black is heaver and slower. :077:

[XKnight]

Yellow is the new red. Red use to be fastest, but now yellow is clearly faster. Just look at the picture below for uncontreverted proof. Sadly, black has always been a bit behind..batman-smilie.

Actually I mix paint and red has the most pigments. That's why I bought Fastest Black!!!!

[Jimmytee]

Red is definitely faster. You don't hear about Ferrari black :shrug:

Wasn't the origin of Fast Black a hold over from the VRCC?:icon_rolleyes:

[Spanky]

black for now, until I get the ECM reflashed, removing the top end then I will have the fastest...

[Cool Hand Luke]

I did a little research...

Case for Black:

7488
Historically Fast!

7489
Supermodel Approved!

74907491
Black is just Hot!

2204
My bike is Black! But to be fair I added a red stripe 'cause I like red too...

CONTINUED...

[Cool Hand Luke]

And a Case for Red:

7493
Sportsters come in red! (and they have a word 'sport' in their name)

7494
Red bikes are built for comfort, not much for speed...

7495
Many sport cars come in red...

7496
Many women like to wear red outfits and pose as superheroes...

7498
If you ride red bike you may be a Sith...

There you have it! Seems to prove that Black is indeed faster than the Red! :moon:

:alc:

disclaimer: above expressed opinion is just for fun, color does not affect the speed of the vehicle unless the vehicle is black, in which case it is the fastest color. Elin's bike is exempt and it is the fastest F6B colors in existence today.

[shooter]

I think that last one proves it once and for all. That superhero is scary! Black Rocks!

[F6B-RICH]

I think that last one proves it once and for all. That superhero is scary! Black Rocks!

:yes: + 1 Face it red and yellow you guys lost :pig1: .Black is king & :winnergold1: .batman-smilie.

[bigbird]

I'd like to see an F6B in white with silver highlights.

[Scotrod]

Sorry Guys and Gals,,,

A little bird told me there can be only 1 fastest color, and it will soon be posted on our banner to end the debate,,,

[ED209]

:yes: sweeeet that's the new Valk color isn't it ?

[Mrf13]

My 13 was born Black.
Short after painted metallic red with several clear coats applied.

So Red is definitely faster.... No wait I mean Black.

[Scotrod]

:yes: sweeeet that's the new Valk color isn't it ?

Nope. Old Honda color "Illusion Blue"

I REALLY REALLY LIKE the new Valk blue!!!!! :yes: :yes:

[Ixol Phaane]

I mean, just look at the pic below.
It's only OBVIOUS that YELLOW is the fastest color.
Look. Look at the picture.

Actually the black one is spotting the other two

[F6badass]

Dark blue is the fastest

[GiddyupF6B]

I'm not sure any of the STOCK colors can even contend with the speed of the custom satin matte black?! :icon_mrgreen:

[Trike lady]

Interesting thing I found out from a Canadian Gentleman for 2014 they only got red and black F6Bs no yellow. http://motorcycle.honda.ca/touring/gold_wing_F6B
Yellow may be too fast for our neighbors to the north. :icon_mrgreen:

[bigbird]

That is correct.
However, as an upside, all our F6B's have ABS as standard equipment.
And we do not have a Deluxe package available. if we want heated grips, centre stand, passenger backrest and luggage rack, it has to be through the dealer's add-on accessories.

[shooter]

I'd like to see an F6B in white with silver highlights.

I agree with that. White would really be a 'clean' look on our bike. I have been thinking of that a lot.

[SpeedyWho]

Red is Honda's company color, they make sure Red is the fastest. PM me and we'll ride over Mingus Mountain on HWY 89. If you beat me to Jerome, I'll buy lunch, but since I'll win I choose the Haunted Hamburger. :stirthepot:

[SpeedyWho]

I'd invite Ixol Phanne, but I'd bet he's Yella....:crackup:

[er.medic]

I am new to the forum, but I have seen all of this "red is faster" stuff going on and I figured you guys were just razzing each other. But I came across an internal email someone leaked from Honda that states the black F6B WAS engineered to be faster than the red one. I know, I am as surprised as you are. But I guess that settles it, black really IS faster than red. :pbt:

[olds34dude]

black is best,
and quickest too,
non-believers,
know what you can do..notworthy.

[Pap]

Black??? HMMM,,, no imagination.
Funny how a lot of Harleys are black...we know how fast they are!! :icon_doh:

Why do police pull more red vehicles over than any other color???
Must be some truth that red is the fastest!

I can not argue with XKnight on this one! It's been documented!!!!

[Injun Joe]

Just popping into this thread. Pretty funny. I saw a seriously fast looking all flat black F6B at Sturgis though...

[Fla_rider]

Surely the one you saw at Sturgis was repainted flat black. It's origins make it a red 2013 deluxe model. Everyone knows the deluxe models are faster as the center stands provides for better aerodynamics.:yikes:

[BIGLRY]

I have been trying to stay out of this discussion, but :stirthepot: in the interest of pure science. :BSmeter:
The color of an object does not affect how fast it is going. it only affects how fast you see it(why LEO write more red vehicles speeding tickets).barney.fife

Now since it is a known fact that Black is not a color; Black is the absence of all color, a black object absorbs all the colors of the visible spectrum and reflects none of them to the eyes, :tapfing: think of black like a...er.... Black Hole in space where even light of all colors can not exscape:301: it then becomes obvious to any intelligent person with a smidgen of scientific knowledge :icon_doh: that black... having all colors contained in it makes black the fastest by default. :pop:

[Fla_rider]

And you called my response digging deep! :bsII:

On the contrary. They pull them over because they CAN.
It's the yellow ones you rarely ever see being stopped.
Why?
'Cause they're just TOO DANG FAST!! :clap2:

[F6badass]

I have a buddy that has a red f6b and he let me ride it and I thought it was extremely fast till I got my fast blue one and realized his red is slower than my blue. no comparison

P.S now he will be pissed I let the secret out

[Watchdog]

I have to go with yellow. Thats whats sitting in my garage. Dont see many of them they're so fast.

[Convert]

The way I understand it is all of the F6B's produced to date have been primered in YELLOW and that's where all the speed comes from regardless of what the top coat is. I know there are not that many yellow ones around and for
a very good reason. There are only a few of us that have a strong enough grip to hang on.

OK, let's put this debate to bed. Here's proof black is the fastest color.

Light travels at a constant speed in vaccum... 3 x 10^8 m/s...
But in media like air, glass, different wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum travel at different speeds.
Refractive Index n is inversely proportional to wavelength of light.
But refractive index = Speed of light in Vaccum/Speed of light in medium
Hence, speed of light in media is directly proportional to wavelength...
Since wavelength increases from Violet to Red,
Red travels the fastest...
Violet travels the slowest...
Black is the absence of color (and is therefore not a color)
Explanation: When there is no light, everything is black, therefore black travels faster than light.

You should just stop at "red travels the fastest" and you'd have it right. :duck:

in a world without color, there would be no discrimination..

in a world without color there would be less intolerance...

In a World without color, All F6B's would be BLACK!
