As someone who personally knows the small design team who created the FTR in Minneapolis, they are very happy someone noticed the subtleties built into the bike. Polaris is run (and owned) by people who love to ride. The same team brought Victory Motorcycles to life. And they have some interesting things up their sleeves.

Design is form AND function, the seat, tank, and handlebars all contribute to the ergonomics of the machine, positioning the rider for high speed control. The whole design was wind-tunnel tested and resulted in a reduction in drag and increased top speed over the standard model. These are functional improvements and a result of the design.

A lot of that kind of thing is sort of a remnant. Before standardized, consistent measurements were a thing - often we forgot that inches and centimetres are recent inventions - people tended to use proportions to design stuff. Rather than telling your apprentice “I want you to make this cabinet 8’ tall x 4’ wide”, you’d say that you wanted it in a 1:2 ratio. Then your apprentice would see what sizes of lumber they had in storage, and they’d build the cabinet accordingly. A lot of pre-modern design training had to do with copying out and applying the Classical Orders, which were a series of styles of Ancient Greek and Roman columns that were always built with consistent proportions. It was treated almost like musicians practicing scales, except visual rather than auditory. The common proportions of those columns have been applied to a ton of things. 1:1/4, 1:1/3, 1:1/2, 1:2/3, 1:3/4 and 1:2 proportions were really common in them, and they could interact in some really complex and interesting ways. Those interactions were carried out of the columns and applied to all sorts of objects, up to and including motorcycles. It’s a bit of a relic now that we use standardized measurement rather than proportion, but because our aesthetics were tuned into that frequency for a couple thousand years it’s still a really powerful tool for designing beautiful objects that seem to have a sort of harmony.

I am old. My bikes are old. An '06 WideGlide; an '03 Yam-Rd-Star-Warrior, currently. This vid as I see it, is a year old, but I've already watched it twice. You did great, and this is the best Indian Tribute as "Art You Can Ride Happily", I've ever seen. Thanks for sharing the Other Great Ones (with honest viewpoint) also !!!

We aren't even worthy of the ridiculous quality this channel constantly gifts us. The attention to detail in all of the videos is incredible.

Wow, what insight to motorcycle design. Like all your other videos, just excellent. Thank you…

I was just at the local dealer and saw this bike, THIS video was playing in my head while looking at it.

Art , history, architecture ,physics. engineering - I need to watch this again, maybe a few more times...

Who better to discuss aesthetics than Ryan and his team? Beautiful direction and commentary

I watched this video 2 years ago, when I passed my CBT (learner's permit in UK), and I've just watched it again, after having to re-do the CBT (2 year life span, life got in the way of the absolute cash-grab that is the big test £750). I still think now, as I did then, that this is the most beautiful motorcycle I've ever seen. I am determined to own one within the next 5 years!

This has to be my favourite Fort Nine video yet, combining my two passions, art + motorcycles. Instinctively, I liked the FTR the moment I laid eyes on it.

Ryan, you make pieces of art in your videos like this one.

22 years ago I bought my 00‘ Ducati 748R. Still triggers me like the first time. The looks, the sound, the feel is unique. Although I begin lacking the skill to handle her. ‚form follows function’ at its best. Without a doubt the most beautiful (racing) machine! P.s. Ok, the ‚Desmosedici‘ RR comes pretty close second….😜 P.p.s. Congratulations to your Channel - it is a real gem!

Everyday since I bought it I go in the garage to watch my '88 Africa twin. Always crack up a smile. And skip a heartbeat when riding it. There's no perfect bike, but there's a perfect choice
