| After much scientific research on the question of which bike is faster these, are my findings. As you know the blue part of the visible light spectrum is the more energetic part while the red part is less energetic. Blue bikes reflect this blue light which is why they look blue and the red bikes reflect the red light. The blue bikes therefore reflect more and absorb less energy from the light and so are “cooler”. The red bikes on the other hand reflect less and adsorb more energy and so are “hotter”. We all know that the hotter something gets the more it expands. This means that the red bikes will expand more and so have more surface area which in turn will increase wind resistance (drag). With more drag comes less speed. There you have it, blue bikes are definitely faster.

| Not true a black fuel tank will cause the fuel to be heated so that it will be closer to the ignition point when it hits the cylinder thus it will burn quicker generating more HP.

| Actually, the black paint has special polymers added that creates the slickest surface known to man. The effect of this is that air never actually hits the surface but rather slips past at a supersonic rate. Since the air is in motion, we can define a flow direction along the motion. The component of the net force perpendicular to the flow direction is called the propulsion; the component of the net force along the flow direction is called the drag. Due to the unique polymers in the black paint there is no drag.

| I uh...... know this guy who works for Suzuki, he says um...... that all the Black M50's have a Bigger Motor installed into them.........so they can go faster. Uh yeah that's what he said. ..........So it must be true.

| Maybe it's black and blue from all the spankings it's taking.
