They say that black is the fastest color. Today while polishing chrome I noticed the color label on my "Fast Black" Tourer. It's a GL 1500 CT: wide profile recommended .jpg) |

That's an urban myth! Red is really the fastest!  |

 Life is like a hot bath. It feels good while you’re in it, but the longer you stay in, the more wrinkled you get. |

Red AND black is really the fastest. Although that's partially true... there was a study somewhere that said... the two tones were the slipperiest... hence faster.  |

The ones that were once red but are now black are most definitely the fastest. |

The ones that were once red but are now black are most definitely the fastest. Bruce, at one point you had a set of black tins and a set or red and white tins in your shop. Did you line them up and see which was faster? Just wondering? LOL |

Did you line them up and see which was faster? Just wondering? LOL The red/whites are still sitting on the bench. The black ones are on the bike. The only ones moving are the blacks at this point, so I'd have to say that the black ones are faster. |
