Does colour mater?

[christod1]

Hi. Now this question might sound a little stupid to some people but here goes. I've been reading on the forum some remarks regarding the colour of the bike and its performance e.g. the blue is the fast one. From what I know here in europe the FZ6 comes in two versions. The FZ6 with 78 hp and the FZ6 S2 with 98 hp regardless of colour. All come in 4 colours, red, blue, white and black. Is there any relation between colour and performance any else in the world?

Are you kidding? OF COURSE color matters, everyone knows the RED ones are the fastest!

well said!!! the red ones were so fast they were hurting the R6 sales so they discontinued them for 08

come on guys.....quit playing with his emotions.

Red? Red?
Philistines.

 

[jfreakman]

Honestly, no.

People just like to argue.

it's fun.

Every body knows the RED ones are fast, BUT they also know the SILVER and BLACK ones are even FASTER

 

[christod1]

Well them I'm glad mine is black!!!

:wav:

You know it makes sense.

Ridiculous

I like the 08 white one with the red stripe.

Color in terms relative to the performance of our bikes has no effect on terminal velocity. However, that same color does have a measurable effect on the bikes performance relative to pictures. Color is a characteristic of visible light and each color carries a specific temperature that can enhance a variety of pictures.
It is because of this that blue becomes the faster of all available colors.

Note: Black and white are not colors, they are neutrals.....

Tell us about additive and subtractive colours. It is like Physics 'O' Level all over again.

 

[HavBlue]

Yeah it is....

For those that don't know, additive and subtractive color are different in that additive relates to printed issues whereas subtractive color relates to projected visible light within the spectrum ranging from roughly 400 to 700 nanometers. This was effectively demonstrated by Sir Isaac Newton in 1666. So black in effect is a combination of no color at all while white is a combination of all colors. An excellent example of a subtractive color model would be our first child experience with the three primary colors of red, blue and yellow. The printing inks magenta, yellow, and cyan are essentially a more sophisticated version of our childhood crayons and colored pencils.

So now we move to Gamut. Colors that can be produced in the additive spectrum may not necessarily be reproduced in the subtractive spectrum and vise-versa. The color spectrum does however overlap to a point......

Yeah, the reproduction of color can get very deep indeed.......

 

[mikebike]

yeah.... what he said

BLUE RULES​

 

[HavBlue]

yeah.... what he said

BLUE RULES​

Oh yeah!!!!!!

Thats right , and were proud of it too! LOL:banghead:

Um, so in the dark, there is no color, there all zackery the same?

Not so, it would depend on the level of "darkness" and the "available light". Even in the natural dark there is light, hence the use of starlight optics. Light can be magnified, bent and folded. Each of these aspects having their own respective wavelengths or frequencies in terms of color.

to answer the original question...no. its a long running and quite worn out joke.
