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

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.
Hey at least we all have exotic hot rod colors like the very expensive cars.
ED209 says RED is faster, you have 20 seconds to comply !
Just popping into this thread. Pretty funny. I saw a seriously fast looking all flat black F6B at Sturgis though...
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.

I have been trying to stay out of this discussion, but in the interest of pure science.
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).
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, think of black like a...er.... Black Hole in space where even light of all colors can not exscape it then becomes obvious to any intelligent person with a smidgen of scientific knowledge that black... having all colors contained in it makes black the fastest by default.
