Yamaha 1300 Tourer - The Yamaha 1300 Tourer Fansite

All I can say is that I bought my new Seashell Tuesday of last week. It was so fast it arrived the day before I bought it.

I've been wondering why the blue has disappeared as an option...something seemed fishy. Well, after pulling some strings, cashing in on some favors owed and a few well placed bribes I discovered that the government has made Galaxy Blue unavailable to the public....in the interest of national security. There have been tests, conducted by NASA primarily, and preliminary results seem to indicate that this is one fast color. It has been determined that a spacecraft painted this color could make the trip to Mars in half the time as a traditionally painted craft.

Rock on Galaxy Blue! Whoo hoo!

I've seen this post come around a few times and finally couldn't resist settling the issue. Black is actually not a color. It is an absence of light reflection. That clearly means that light can't catch a black bike! Light travels at 3 x 10(8) meters per second. This is also why you never see photos of a black bike on the move. When I took the last pictures in my front yard of Dixie, I actually had to aim the camera about 10 feet in front of the bike to snap the shot. And the engine wasn't even running. 'Nuff said. School is dismissed.

The only reason silver is lagging in the polls, is we feel smug in our superiority, and don't feel the need to vote. Have you seen the metal flake on the silver ones? Looks just like the finish of the intake port of a properly ported head. Much less wind resistance than those gooey, sticky, colors.

I have not seen anyone post anything in the forums.
Has anyone had official government documentation of speed as measured by radiofrequency or laser measuring device operated by public servant?

Go to the Image Gallery, then to the Yamaha 1300 Tourer, then to page 4 and look under the heading Rudolph has been replaced. Delivering toys to children around the world in one night. I rest my case.

I'm not sure how they got involved with this. but they have documented proof from the space station of a BLACK 1300 t going 1,325.6 mph with 2 riders and pulling a trailer..

I thought that I would let everybody now just how fast the red one is, I'm not braging but, my red babby can have the speedo berried (130mph) and back to 0 before she gets past the garage door. Now if you can beat that one you can claim braging rights.

The same topics rules on forums when bike is great machine that do not have enough problems to discuss. I've seen same thing for ST1300 forums.

Flooooooood ))

PS. All you knows, REDs are fastest ones.... Mine is so quick, that still avoid any camera tries to get picture of her...

Let's RIDE! Sorry for English )
