fastest color
« on: June 11, 2011, 06:44:59 PM »
Yesterday I read a thread where someone wrote that the silver color is the fastest. What I want to know is what makes silver so fast, and how much faster is it than my blue bike?

Heard a rumor folks were wondering what the fast color is:



and it even goes faster when rider wears proper gear of course:

I really wanted a black '09 or blue '10, but I'm glad that didn't work out because I've come to realize that my red '09 is definitely the fastest.  :)

First I've heard of that. What's your source?

There was another source before but the latest was when they were cracking the C14's ECU. No limiters on the '08s/'09s but the '10s/'11s do have a limiter.

08 & 09 Connie's are speed limited. I remember a post on the old ECU hack thread that said our 08s and 09s were limited to 182.6 MPH. Odd number, but I remember it pretty well.

Can a C14 even go 186mph?

All personal bias to black 2009's aside, black is typically a lighter pigment and faster covering than silver, blue or red.  ;D

Not only does black have all of the qualities you've mentioned, it is also infused with a special stealth conditioning agent that renders LEO's radar totally ineffective! ;D (Well, that's what I keep telling myself anyway!) ;)
