For those that ride black bikes - do they get hotter than other colors?
I think I have finally decided to go with a Raptor - because I will be mostly riding trails and I am not a "racer". I will be riding just for fun.
So - now do I get a white one or a black limited? I like the black more - but I think that beeotch will get VERY HOT in the TX sun.
Thus, I ask you guys - will they be hotter as in temp vs a white one?
Thanks for your input!

Well, anyway you look at it in Texas it will be hot, I live in New York, and if I leave mine in the sun for a little while, the seat is really hot, but its kind of like a car seat, after a couple of seconds, it's fine. And the Black does look better!

You live in Texas and want to know how hot a black Raptor will get in the Summer???
Well, I'll tell you here in California, when it gets over 100 degrees, you park it under a tree, and go boating. Till OCtober, when it's cool enough to ride again...
IF you leave anything out in the Hot sun, it get's cooked , Black, or Pink, or White. If your worried about burning your "nads" on a hot seat, cover the seat with a towel to keep it out of the sun. If your worried about overheating, your not riding fast enough!
Say boy, out here in California, we only see two things from Texas,....Steers and Q....s, and I gotta tell you boy, I don't see no horns.......(Sorry, that's an old joke from when I was in the ARMY)

I agree - the black LE would match my other rides well - but the thing is I can get a white one like by the end of the week and the black ones wont be out till July.
Now if I can only wait.. hum..

Well, technically, from all of that science class that we always payed so much attention in. This is one thing I do remember. Black absorbs a lot of heat, and reflects little. White does the opposite. So this really does not matter on a quad if you ask me but there's your answer. And yes the black raptor's are faster, I'm looking for some black rear plastic for mine[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
