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

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

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.

Although that's partially true...

there was a study somewhere that said...

the two tones were the slipperiest...

hence faster.  :2funny: :2funny:

I have taken notice to those who use that word (Precautionary) and abide by it are not only very happy in life...
but they also live long and prosper.  ;)

The ones that were once red but are now black are most definitely the fastest.   ;)
I can't help about the shape I'm in
I can't sing, I ain't pretty and my legs are thin
But don't ask me what I think of you
I might not give the answer that you want me to

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

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.   ;)
