What color of FJR is slowest?

[mike6282]

Answer: 2006 Cobalt Blue

Like everyone else, will it ever get here?

I am new to this forum, but have been following it for a while. I have a 2006 FJR1300A on order. I ordered it January 4th, so it will probably be summer before it gets here. I am hoping it will be worth the wait.

I am coming off a GL1800 and sold it last year. I was thinking about another Wing, but $22K for the 2006 ABS Model, no way! I also wanted something a little lighter and I have always liked the FJR. With the new improvements, I am giving it a try.

I'm betting you'll be happy with the difference. Do you ride 2up? If so, I know the pillions like having the topcase, or a backrest so they don't fly off the back unk:

Congradulations, on your choice, there are many great people here and lots of great ideas and farkles to start adding to your cart here. Let us know when your bike arrives, and please put your sliders on 1st!

Did you say A LITTLE LIGHTER? I'd say you accomplished your goal+++! may I make the suggestion that you go a bit easier on the throttle when you pull away from the dealership! Congrats on the new bike!

 

[madmike2]

It's not the color that makes them slower, its those poor owners who get stuck with the French detuned engines and then have to do the modifications.

 

[Silverbullet]

True enough, but the Blue does seem to collect more dirt, and thereby more drag.

I agree, having a blue bike would be a drag. :bleh:

 

[galxy5]

well,you guys are just in denial that you have Galaxy Blue envy,, nothing a little therapy won't fix,, or a re paint :haha:

 

[madmike2]

Nope, blue doesn't collect more dirt, it just proudly shows off that it has been ridden. :bleh:

It would seem that those in the "clean bike is a gay bike" camp would be lined up for blue, hmmmmm?

OTH, if you are one of those who like their bike clean and shiny, carry extra Honda polish and rags!

 

[OrangevaleFJR]

Hey, I'd have bought an FJR if was pink. Blue is awesome!

I get so tired of these slowest colors threads . It is OBVIOUS. The darker the blue, the more photos are absorbed. The more photons, the greater the energy transfer to the bike, which increases the heat of combustion in the engine. The resulting thermal expansion in the combustion chamber increases power. I've measured an increase of 0.00116 HP for the galaxy blue over the grey FJR. Thus, the Galaxy blue must be faster. It is all so clear as stated below:

For quantum, mechanical, and electromagnetic wave phenomena (energy is frequency) and (momentum is wavenumber), mp=proper mass, and c=speed of light. By setting , equation (1) corres- ponds3 to the Lorentz invariant d'Alembertian operator4

in which kp is a constant, since mp is finite positive for a real mass and is zero for a photon. Since a sublight or light wave is Lorentz invariant, the sublight wave equation and light wave equation each is invariant under a LT.

While sublight and light time-like wave equations () preserve the LT a superlight space-like wave equation v>c (E<Pc) does not (spatial and time coordinates reverse). Moreover, since Newton's equations are invariant under a GT they cannot be invariant under a LT. These difficulties mean that we must abandon the LT for the study of superlight space-like wave phenomena. For example, if , equation (2) becomes the Galilean invariant operator. :blink:

Which color is slower? What a stupid question! It's simple: The one's that aren't here yet! :haha:

 

[madmike2]

Actually, the slowest FJR is the one ridden by the most cautious rider, regardless of color, race or religion!

 

[rocketdoc]

Ah, come on Mike you know the Blue one is slower than the Cerulean Silver and the Silver before it. That is why the new AE model has gone back to Cerulean Silver, fastest colour for the fastest bikes! Plain and simple.

By the way, hope you are doing well, looking forward to Reno. Maybe some drags at the Speedway would finally put this to rest.

You forgot to put into your equation that the heat caused by the color absorption results in less dense air. Therefore it has less oxygen for combustion and therefore slower.

Oh and I have a Blue one so what does that say about me

 

[Mike-H]

I concur with both twowheelnut & madmike2 but whatever I tell you & a buck & a quarter buys you a cup of coffee :huh:

Not around here coffee is a little higher, well at least for a large

$1.89 at Starbucks

Ah, but you ignored an important factor.

As the air heats, its density decreases, and that reduces frictional shear stress on the bike. Thus, the bike goes faster.

Ah the old friction vs oxygen algorithm sorry forgot.
