Why all the white ?

[lgk]

might just be simpler to do a paint job.

[Peanut_EOD]

Yep, I already have one in mind.

[Aggrotech]

yup. would be much easier for the paintjob. Only other option is to buy the green/black nasty abs version.

And you know this how?

I was in our band for all 4 years of high school; squad leader twice, section leader as a senior. This is one from our senior show, I'm the baritone with 1 blue braid and one gold braid near the 50 towards the end. This was a small year for us, we're just over 240 in this performance. The year before my freshman year, we were just over 300 strong.

Check out youtube a little more for us. We've been to Buffalo Bills games in Buffalo and in Toronto, we've been to Montreal for their football team's game. One year, they went to a Cleveland Indians game.

I greatly enjoyed band. But your chances of actually getting any at band camp are low. You're freaking busy like 17 hours a day, and the other 7, you just want sleep. Much better chances after prom. But yes, aside from the obvious rediculousness, American Pie is definitely based on real stereotypes.

EDIT: from my freshman year. We were around 280 then I think:

im thinking of doing some vinyl work, give my bike that unique flare

[choneofakind]

Use reflective vinyl! It will look like vinyl in the day, and add visibility at night.

[drbyatch]

Imo

White/ black both look equally cool, personally the green to me looks horrid - I hate the ninja/kawaka green although I may get banned for saying that on this forum lol

Also here in Aus you are more likely to see guys on green ninjas being tools weaving between traffic cutting of people and wearing shorts and thongs, so this had probably given me a subconscious hate of green ninjas.

Edit - I only bought a white one cause its possibly more visible than the black - the blak is hottttttt to look at though

[Bassman]

Just an inside tip. They will let the green ones out after they work the bugs out of the white ones. 'cause you all know green is the best/fastest Ninja <wink>

Oh jeez, now I have a mental image of a hairy-arsed man riding a 250 wearing nothing but a thong Please tell me that by "thongs" you meant flip-flops!!

[thurt88]

Now that is funny

[GlassAnkles]

lol yeah flip flops
although they wear shorts that might as well be "thong" thongs.
like those tiny footy shorts.

you look "Cooler" with black leathers and full face helmet imo - espicially on small sports bikes/sports bikes.

[Kstorm21]

I don't know but the new Ninja ZX-6R looks awesome! Saw 2 that were already sold at a local dealership yesterday. Looks WAY sexier in person!!!

*thread resuscitation*

I've been going to a few dealerships lately, and have only been seeing black. Dealers say that whites have been selling like hotcakes w/wait-lists 2-3 people long.

Pretty interesting that back in 2012, only whites were available. TBH, the only 300's I've seen were on the dealership floor.

Anybody know when the US will be getting more colors?

Let's be real here...white isn't a color.

I dunno, I think it's more of a "snow".

Also, if you wanna get really technical, white could either be describe as the absence of all colours (because all colors are getting reflected to produce white) or a tone.

White is all-colors I believe. For example, refracting white light through a crystal or whatever produces a nice colorful rainbow :P
Black is the absence of all colors.

Depends on how you're looking at it.

If you shine white light onto a red ball, red wavelengths are being reflected back to your eye, so that you perceive it a red. All other wavelengths are being absorbed. So technically the ball is everything BUT red.

And black is either the absorption of all colors, or a lack of light.

OH, except this is talking about pigment. Which we were. If we're talking about light, then yes you are (partially) correct that white is a mixture of colours, though it doesn't necessarily need to be all wavelengths, as you can also get white by mixing Red and Cyan. Or Green and magenta. Or blue and white... or a plethora of other ***


La la la


Sorry - you just happened to start talking about **** that I know a boat-ton about, 'cause it's, like, what I do.

And it wasn't entirely jacked. We were still talking about white.

Actually, it's pretty well understood that we were only seeing white because Kawi was only producing white at that point. The factory goes through phases in what colors and regional variations they make. One week they are making ABS versions in green, another they are making 50-state versions in black, another they are making 49-state versions in black (less changes), and so on.

No, technically the ball "is" red because that it the technical definition of red. It doesn't depend on "how you look at it." All red objects reflect or pass-through red and absorb or block the other visible wavelengths. Red light and red objects are two different things with distinct definitions. A device that emits red light is not a red object unless it also only reflects or allow through red light (a bulb with a tint). A color television with a CRT or LCD, for example, emits all colors but is black itself.

The two are inexorably intertwined. Pigments reflect and absorb light to be the color that they are. The reason you get white with two other colors is because those other colors include all primary colors. For example, green is yellow and blue, so all it needs is red to be white. A television tube can show yellow images with only red, green, and blue phosphors because it can shift the spectrum from green by adding red (only possible with mixing emissions, not colors on surfaces that absorb/reflect).

FWIW, I'm color-blind.
