    Thanks to this thread, I think I've finally figured out how to help my son build a winning pinewood derby car! We're going to paint the nose black, the tail white, and stand at opposite ends of the track shining LED flashlights at it

    Default Faster....... I think not.....

    Now Gentlemen you might think Black is faster but as was pointed out before it sucks the color out of other bikes and takes it in... which in turn will slow it down after all if it sucks in a.. say a Harley.. you are not moving without a very large head start...

    And as for colors... hummm.. Cognac I am afraid goes down smooth and FAST with an added KICK at the end.. so unless you are any other color I am sorry but you are taking a back seat to us....

    We may need a working definition of "almost"...
    Docdoru is the Bonneville Land Speed Record holder in the 1000cc class (I don't know what they actually call it...)
    His turbocharged Silver Dream didn't quite run that fast..

    Default The Fastest Spyder Ever...

    Is the Phantom! Only one year of production because the black matt finish absorbs the radar gun blast rendering speed traps useless.

    BRP quit making them because of law suits brought about by LEOs swearing that black watchamacallit was going faster than the main flow of traffic but couldn't back it up with a radar reading.

    Sorry all y'all, hate to burst your bubble but, facts are facts.

    The Phantoms move in Stealth Mode...

    Very Happy Ryder...
    '09 Phantom and a '15 F3-S

    If you don't slow down, they can't catch you..
    ​If you don't give up, they can't win.
    What a long strange journey its been.

    So my point of black being the fastest still holds water?
