I like TANG!
Capri Blue ...
is NOT the fastest colour. And I got 2 performance awards last year to prove it. In other words, I got caught so the colour obviously isn't fast enough

I am not sure if that works. About 20 minutes after I got my R50, I got a speeding ticket. It's 23 hp fer cryin' out loud. If you are good, you can get a ticket on anything.is NOT the fastest colour.

On second thought, if you are bad, you can get a ticket on anything.

Hiya Wez.Black is black,
I want my /7 back
I don't know how fast black is in music.
Mick Jagger agrees though. He wants everything painted black.
Except maybe Jerry Hall.

I think it's the white pinstripe that really gives it the edge. it's probably a ying/yang thing...

Especially with the right three-color stripes ...
Brings up another thought. Are there any bikes that are not BMWs that look good in white?

Gimme a B, gimme a L,....
I would add a Norton Commando to that "meant to be black" list. In 1974, a motorcycle writer from Cycle Guide (I could be wrong here--I was taking too many bike mags back then) claimed that the black 850 Norton Commando was "the most bitching looking bike around."
Yes I did; I owned one, and I've always regretted selling it.
Having said that, I have to confess that if I could only have one bike, it would not be an older Commando. I might give the new models a second glance, however.

Except. wrinkle black. That slows the whole bike down due to aerodynamics of the wrinkles............or something.
Wrinkle black may decrease drag, which in turn will make you go farther (think of a golf ball).
