No where in this post did I ever mention which "color" is faster?? I'm quickly approaching 40 and in all my years, the one thing that has remained constant is that paint color does not change the speed of any vehicle.

But I have heard that black paint minimizes friction due to the fact that it attracts heat, therefore speeding up the molecules around the paint. With the molecules moving faster, the bike should, in effect, move with less drag than a bike that doesn't attract as much heat.

I see they have gotten to you as well. What is this world coming to?

Ive heard the exact same theory and I agree with this. It only makes complete logical sense.
