Which Color is Best and Why?

Azhyen · June 30th, 2011, 01:08 PM

So since we all love to argue our favorite colors, might as well start a non-sensical thread!

I believe Red is the "fastest". In a different thread, someone brought up the fact that Ninjas wear black, ergo are the best/fastest. I will argue that the best ninjas were the Power Rangers and guess what color lead that awesome crew, RED!

LoneRonin · June 30th, 2011, 01:09 PM

I agree. Red is the best.

tac12345 · June 30th, 2011, 01:16 PM

green is the sexiest.

also, red & green is more visible than blue/black IMO.

SSR · June 30th, 2011, 01:32 PM

Blue. I won't argue it's the fastest (everybody knows Kawi green is), but it is the most awesome. Why? Because I drive a blue bike. And I'm awesome.

TXJ · June 30th, 2011, 01:44 PM

I like black. It makes my old man hiviz gear look better.

scotty · June 30th, 2011, 01:46 PM

Black and red.. Me having two colors on my bike makes it the fastest on this forum! Sorry y'all! Lol

You're just confused. It's ok... haha jk. I do love the 2010 SE!

Deff.. Blue I stick to my guns on the fact that we people of the Blue Crew, only ride them slower so everybody else turns Kawi Green with envy!

Actually, as you move closer to ultraviolet, the frequency of the waves increase in the electomagnetic spectrum. Kawasaki doesn't make a violet or indigo color, but the next color is blue. Thus, out of all the colors, blue has the highest frequency (ie, the fastest), followed by green and then red.

So the color blue is actually the fastest and red is the slowest!

Felipe the Ant · June 30th, 2011, 02:57 PM

i parked next to a speedtrap the other day and it said i was going 15mph as i was sitting still. Therefore green is the fastest

SSR's right Liber. The reason why all you see is red after an object moves away is due to the slower frequency red operates in the spectrum.

Science shmience. haha!

n4mwd · July 1st, 2011, 04:33 AM

Any color except black is good. Blue is the coolest. Black sucks until its time to do body work. Then its the best.

ally99 · July 1st, 2011, 04:55 AM

Blue. This would be an awesome poll!

Mr.E · July 1st, 2011, 05:43 AM

Well, by researching and by the fact I'll be getting the new white bike with the red and black on it, I must say the white bike are the fastest of them all. It only make sense too. They obviously painted it white because it's lightning fast. You know those stories where people swear they almost got struck by lightning? Yeah. That was a white ninjette. lol

kaiserz · July 1st, 2011, 05:45 AM

I completely agree with this reasoning.

Live2ride · July 1st, 2011, 07:39 AM

I have a black one, and even though its hot (both literally and figuratively) I still like the blue ones more. The 09 se's (green/white/black) are sweet too.

CThunder-blue · July 1st, 2011, 07:41 AM

Coming from a purely paint materials point of view, red would be the slowest. It takes the most pigments of any color to produce, which means a red bike would be heavier than other bikes. In the real world, the variance is too small to even notice. You might notice a few pounds on a car, but on a bike, it'd only be measurable in ounces. The flip side is that white takes the least amount of pigments and would be the fastest bike.

According to the original question, which is the best? The best is the one you like the most

Wouldn't black require the most pigments? I'm no artist, it just seems like to make black you would need all the colors mixed together to produce black. Then again, I suppose it depends on what your primary colors are first.

Either way, Go Power Ranger Red! hahaha!

CThunder-blue · July 1st, 2011, 10:12 AM

No, you wouldn't need to use all the colors to make black. For example, white & yellow wouldn't get used. Black is black. There aren't variations like red.

Buffalony · July 1st, 2011, 10:23 AM

You mean like this one:

Jiggles · July 1st, 2011, 03:24 PM

I'm pretty sure that African-American bikes are the fastest.

OGjackafidy · July 1st, 2011, 03:47 PM

Red is my personal favorite but black and red statistically have the highest resale value

ruben5 · July 1st, 2011, 05:05 PM

I love my yellow pregen!

whiteboy · July 1st, 2011, 05:26 PM

I would say a burnt orange with a black longhorn on it would be the fastest but since I done have 1 of those yet then blue is hands down the fastest the rest can fight for second place

NathanUc · July 1st, 2011, 06:14 PM

I like the 2010 Red/black without that silly flower decal.

Still love my passion red though

Liquidtoon · July 1st, 2011, 08:52 PM

hmm a beautiful Ferrari red, oh or a lovely Ducati red....oh or every other sexy little sports car....yep RED!
