But RT and "fast enough" certainly do!

It's a proven fact that the black color comes from absorbing all colors of light as opposed to white, which reflects all colors of light.
Thus, any light that shines on the Timeless Black Spyder is absorbed by the bike. Because of the relatively large front surface area, absorbing the light pulls the bike forward adding to it's speed.
Any other color reflects some, or all light, thus pushing away from the front and slowing the Spyder down.
This makes the Timeless Black the fastest color of all.
The only real debate is whether the 2014 is faster than the 2010.
I suspect the 2010 is faster, but I'm open to the suggestion that the difference may be difficult to measure.
If it ain't broke, don't break it.

But...
Wouldn't it ALSO be absorbing all light from the rear as well; negating the forward pull?

Hey Joe I tried to find that bulletin but could not locate it. Every time I searched or it I found this:
Snopes response to urban legends in Arkansas-
After much testing and analyzing, BRP Engineers have discovered that the Black 2014 RTS is the fastest, best looking and coolest Spyder on the road could not be confirmed because engineers could not find find a paved road in all of Arkansas. Engineers are certain however that any colored Spyder in the great state of Texas could beat said black Spyder in that other state known as Arkansas. The great state of Texas has extended a warm welcome to its northern neighbors in Arkansas to come on down and test these new things called roads. While here you can also taste our world famous BBQ while you watch us fly by on our Spyders.
This was the only thing I found Joe. Lol

Then I'm in real trouble, I've got a white one!!
However the police officer with a radar gun said I was doing almost 130mph (Lucky, he's a friend and I was on a WW2 airfield!!)
That really begs the question: How fast will the BLACK ones go???
