BLACK slow?
are you guys nuckin futs?
What are you smokin'
EVERYBODY knows
BLACK IS FASTER.
Heck, I bought a red one just to find out.
Sure enough,
Black is faster.
It's because of the first run parts me thinks,
not the left overs they use on the "off colored" ones...

In your dreams....Skippy, the black is faster if you ride off in it and leave the red one "parked" in the driveway. Once it is started and your wife gets on it (we already know she rides much faster than you), you will be rapidly diminishing in her side rearview mirrors as she passes you...you may now wake up from your dream.

Is asked wiki answers
What color travels fastest

they said

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...

sorry Skip black is really just dark violet.

It's on the internet it has to be true. It's the law.

Can you break this dodwn in miles per hour? I'm guessing it would be less than one nano second in the quarter mile. But, faster is faster.lol

The red ones are just slow bikes they painted red to try and catch up with the black ones. But it isn't enough to catch them, they put all the good parts in the black ones.

Sorry again, red is the color of fire, black is the ashes we leave behind...it's not even close.

Ashes are left long after the fire is gone.
