Damn it, I'm not interested in motorcycles one bit but I can nominate this video as the best-produced video on UA-cam!
@@truantray Right, I challenge you to name the science he got wrong, without it being some kind of needlessly pedantic point, that's basically irrelevant to the larger point.
You'd think Ryan was doing these videos in one take as some kind of flex but really its just because they haven't taught 44 how to edit a youtube video yet
For a moment I wondered if it was a budget-saving thing - they don't have to go out into the countryside with a bunch of drones for five days. But it strikes me that the amount of preparation and rehearsal is probably just as time-consuming. Especially given that it's single-purpose - with the outdoorsy videos they probably end up with masses of stock footage they can use in other videos.
And the absolutely fucking crazy timing of getting to the mural at the EXACT moment of the "Destroy all winglets" comment 6:28 is just...I don't know...stupid impressive. Agree with other commenters that this level of YT creation, production, content, presentation, etc. really stands out in the bazillions of other original content videos. Mad respect!!
The moment I noticed it's a one-shooter I stopped paying attention to the content and just enjoed the form of it. And It's beautiful. The flex to let the intro in... the Prius, the gap between the cars, that just convinently happenned to be at the very best spot to end the show.... I mean... C'mon.... keep doing that. I'll learn nothing about motorcycles and I'll enjoy every second of it. Thanks!
This channel is single handedly settings benchmarks for other moto journalists. They are busy with moviesque cliche cinematography where ryan is busy with "motorcycling" Thank you man
Its kinda funny because this video was a 1-shot, which is one of the most classic, moviesque, cliche, director+cinematographer flexes out there. But I totally agree with you. The "b-reel slomo shot on a slider" that most of these other motoJournos are doing doesn't even come close to the writing, thoughtfulness, wit, and overall quality of this channel.
What did you pay the devil to be able to do single takes like that? This channel is on a completely different level - from the charismatic host and master operator to the editor with tasteful and organic vfx and a genius screenwriter

Superb video. That said, and I apologize, I have one nit to pick: "at 68° this fairing is two inches above the ground [...] 'Bernoulli's Principle' [...] if we're squeezing air though this narrow gap [...] that sucks the whole bike towards the ground" Bottom line: there is no way to generate a down-force on the bike from the air without directing air upwards. TL;DR I sincerely doubt this effect, that the ***NET*** force induced by air compressing between the bike and the ground is downward, is even close to true - any "Bernoulli-resultant" force at that narrow gap is not enough to counter the previous downward push downward on the air (Newton's Third Law). The only way that would be possible is if the air was being thrown (direct) upwards (Newton's 3rd again) ***BEHIND*** the bike i.e. momentum transfer F = dM/dt, and I don't see a trailing edge in the fairing that would do that. N.B. I am ***NOT*** saying there is ***NOT*** a low pressure at the narrowest point of that gap, just that the down-force from that low pressure is not enough to overcome the other forces that caused it. This misplaced concept is similar to the one in sailing theory where it was once thought that the acceleration of air through the "slot" between mainsail and genoa provided a net thrust forward. If you don't believe me, take this to an aerodynamicist. I see there is a patent for this idea; I could easily be missing some subtlety here, in which case I would not be bothered to be proved wrong, but I truly doubt it. I am not saying there is no advantage to these fairings in racing, just that the bottom fairing in a turn does not provide a ***NET*** down-force. We don't get something for nothing. I did not read through all 2,767 comments, so perhaps there is already a discussion here about this; if so, then I apologize and will remove this comment.
Particularly because it's not linear. The force generated is in the end of the equation the square of the speed, so at 100mph you're getting like 10lbs of downforce. 2.5lbs at 50mph.
deadass. even the most comically large winglets make absolutely no difference unless you're going ridiculously fast, which you can't do 99.9% of the time you're out. they're so bulky, such an eyesore, and the only way they would be worth it is if they made a big difference in performance, but they don't do fucking ANYTHING
@@Wintersdark i dont see your math adding up mate. If the speed is squared should it therefore be (half the downforce)^2? So only 5lbs at 100mph and 1.25 at 50mph. You calculated it as if its linear
Every now and then you come across a genius. Even the ad was eluminating. Bravo! I guess its time to buy something from Fortnine. These videos are worth every bit.
I'm taking a timeout at the 4:43 minute mark to say that FortNine has gone through the first five minutes of the video without a single jump cut. This is Juilliard School of filmmaking / Oscar worthy stuff. So hard to do I have read, and Ryan pulls it off effortlessly.
thanks, Ryan, the voice of reason is loud and clear. I retired two years ago moved to Uruguay and bought 2 Svartpilen 401s for my wife and I, yes I can honestly say that I enjoy riding more now at 67 years old than any time in the last 20 years on a 1000cc sportbike. Softer gentler smile-inducing rides like being 10 years old again on a Honda step-thru 90. The only wings on rides now is a once in a while RedBull
Don't get discouraged if you do not land your ideal job immediately. You may have to take a gig that's outside your ideal goal to pay the bills. It's good to show future employers that you can buckle down and complete tasks in areas you aren't even interested in. One of my very good friends finished a mech eng program from a fantastic school only to be turned down for several "dream jobs". He had a few jobs that weren't ideal for his goals, but one of those jobs connected him with Larry of Multimatic. For the last 12 or 13 years, he's been working passionately on really exciting projects all over the world.
@@DJF7819 Got a design engineering job offer from Triumph I’m working out visa details for rn and I’m joining some MotoAmerica teams this season in the pits as a volunteer
Great Video as always. Great Content. Amazing 1-take production. An embedded advert that you can't take your eyes off. This is the bar to which all YT should be held to. Keep up the great work !
I'm an aerospace engineer. What Ryan said. Street motorcycle aerosurfaces are about as useful as their automotive counterparts but motorcycles aren't as forgiving with the downside. They're mostly just something to tear off when you go down. Plus nonperpendicular aerosurfaces ahead of the cg are directionally destabilizing. That's aerospace engineering talk.
@@dans2971 An ounce of pretension is worth a pound of manure but yeah, if you're going fast enough on a motorcycle for aerodynamics to be a major concern you're probably going too fast.
@@tedchristian2235I guess they sell because they look cool, and manufacturers state that “their winglets add downforce for stability at higher speeds”. What are higher speeds? 200 mph? Who the hell does that in the street? Ah, never mind…. There are those UA-camrs risking their lives for some likes and “street cred”. Fools….
Would the destabilization not be in effect until the non-vertical surface was in front and above the c of g on a ground born conveyance ? Not aerospace engineering talk just simple curiosity.
@@bobturnbull18 Having a vertical surface or a surface with a vertical component ahead of the cg has the same effect as a vertical tail behind the cg except it tends to point you away from the wind instead of into the wind so you diverge in yaw or swap ends.
Nice reference to the 2 stroke expansion chamber. Pioneered by a guy called Walter Kaaden who worked for MZ. He and one of the MZ race team's riders, Ernst Degner defected from MZ and the Eastern Bloc to Japan and went to Suzuki. Next thing you know, Suzuki became the dominating force until the other big names like Honda and Yamaha got their heads around expansion chamber tech. However, never forget the contribution made by MZ!!!
I rode an MZ once and it felt like the frame and engine were made out of lead, it was a commuter bike so obviously didn't feature any race tech, but it still blows my mind they managed to make it that heavy!
@memitim171 they're very odd bikes, but a bloody hoot to ride. Quite rare now. I own one and mines one of just 5 roadworthy examples of the model of MZ in the entire UK. I don't think they were made to be popular, they were designed to do a job n for a budget and be easy to maintain. That they did well. Sounds like yours was a TS250/1 Supa5 that you rode ^.^
When I was a kid I remember there was a car called the Citroen BX. The GTi models had the most ridiculous spoiler on the back - it just a rectangular bit of plastic. BXes are really rare now because the engines can be swapped into a Peugeot 205, which is much more desirable.
This dude I can’t get over how good he is in what he does, he’s the only reason I’m following this channel, and this since years. Keep on, love from Germany!
Been seeing Squarespace segments from photographers, videographers and creators for what feels like a decade and that was by far the best one I’ve ever seen.
@@ZealothPL Are there any other KLRs that routinely get fitted with milk crates and bleach bottles as accessories? And, why did that comment get censored? Why?
Adding to that: These wings may prevent unwanted wheelies, but as wings go, they can fly upside down! When the wheelie gets steep enough, the wings will start generating lift instead of downward pressure. At high speed, that may come surprising and flip the wheelieist over backwards.
@@indiebekonn Is there anything you'd like to teach someone who grew up with aircraft, designed model aircraft since he was twelve, piloted aircraft and studied physics about how wings work? 🙃
"Yes, is this the Police? There is a guy outside and inside the KTM shop, fanaticly walking around talking to himself, throwing wild gestures, maybe gang signs, can you please send someone?" Genius Onetake from across the street.
A bit of googling reveals that this was shot at Daytona Motorsports in Vancouver, on East Cordova Street - the mural seems to have been added in 2017 as part of Vancouver's mural festival. It's a massive improvement judging by Street View's images from beforehand. The whole area is a great filming location. It's a bit like Tokyo's suburbs, flat and industrial, but not sketchy-looking.
@@yojimbo21 I disagree! The western side of East Van is indeed sketchy, but this part is cool. Great art, great food, probably the best culture hub in Vancouver. ~RF9
They've been putting wings/spoilers on 4 cylinder 150 horse power fwd cars for decades. I think we have to accept that some things are there just for the looks.
on regular cars, a spoiler or wing is usually there to augment the airflow path to get rid of some flow separation and thereby reducing drag and increasing fuel economy. they are defiantly aerodynamic surfaces, their just not there for downforce.
Excellent production , as always . Side note : I owned a 1981 Suzuki GS1000S once . It had a weird shaped bikini fairing , not frame-mounted , which made the front end incredibly vague on fast mountain roads . I think it was more a styling exercise in those days than an actual aero benefit anyway .
Did you notice the entire video is a single take, without any cuts.

Bottom line: there is no way to generate a down-force on the bike from the air without directing air upwards.
TL;DR
I sincerely doubt this effect, that the ***NET*** force induced by air compressing between the bike and the ground is downward, is even close to true - any "Bernoulli-resultant" force at that narrow gap is not enough to counter the previous downward push downward on the air (Newton's Third Law). The only way that would be possible is if the air was being thrown (direct) upwards (Newton's 3rd again) ***BEHIND*** the bike i.e. momentum transfer F = dM/dt, and I don't see a trailing edge in the fairing that would do that.
N.B. I am ***NOT*** saying there is ***NOT*** a low pressure at the narrowest point of that gap, just that the down-force from that low pressure is not enough to overcome the other forces that caused it.
This misplaced concept is similar to the one in sailing theory where it was once thought that the acceleration of air through the "slot" between mainsail and genoa provided a net thrust forward.
If you don't believe me, take this to an aerodynamicist. I see there is a patent for this idea; I could easily be missing some subtlety here, in which case I would not be bothered to be proved wrong, but I truly doubt it. I am not saying there is no advantage to these fairings in racing, just that the bottom fairing in a turn does not provide a ***NET*** down-force. We don't get something for nothing.
I did not read through all 2,767 comments, so perhaps there is already a discussion here about this; if so, then I apologize and will remove this comment.
let's ask @Hambini I reckon he would have something to add
One take, no editing just hrs and hrs od hard work learning your lines and hitting you markers. Well done.
You guys are THE BEST two wheel content creators on UA-cam!!
Well Done!
"40 lbs at 200mph" that should have ended the discussion right there
For street bikes. For racers, that advantage adds up to quicker lap times.
Particularly because it's not linear. The force generated is in the end of the equation the square of the speed, so at 100mph you're getting like 10lbs of downforce. 2.5lbs at 50mph.
deadass. even the most comically large winglets make absolutely no difference unless you're going ridiculously fast, which you can't do 99.9% of the time you're out. they're so bulky, such an eyesore, and the only way they would be worth it is if they made a big difference in performance, but they don't do fucking ANYTHING
@@Wintersdark i dont see your math adding up mate. If the speed is squared should it therefore be (half the downforce)^2? So only 5lbs at 100mph and 1.25 at 50mph. You calculated it as if its linear
I only ride street but do like the downforce. That’s why I taped a bunch of bricks to my front mudguard. 🤔👍
Every now and then you come across a genius. Even the ad was eluminating. Bravo! I guess its time to buy something from Fortnine. These videos are worth every bit.
idk what you're more knowledgeable of; Motorcycles or film making. Fantastic work, man.
From the story telling to the one take videos. I am continued to be blown away (without a difuser) by your editing and videos!
my brother is the director/ editor. I'm so prouddd!
I'm taking a timeout at the 4:43 minute mark to say that FortNine has gone through the first five minutes of the video without a single jump cut. This is Juilliard School of filmmaking / Oscar worthy stuff. So hard to do I have read, and Ryan pulls it off effortlessly.
I never would've thought that Fortnine videos could get any better, this video is absolute masterpiece.
thanks, Ryan, the voice of reason is loud and clear. I retired two years ago moved to Uruguay and bought 2 Svartpilen 401s for my wife and I, yes I can honestly say that I enjoy riding more now at 67 years old than any time in the last 20 years on a 1000cc sportbike. Softer gentler smile-inducing rides like being 10 years old again on a Honda step-thru 90. The only wings on rides now is a once in a while RedBull
Twenty years into wrenching on these and I usually don't like the vids I find. This one pleased me. Thank you and well done.
Nice! Just graduated with my aerospace degree with a focus on bikes and this is the right applications of physics, love it
Sounds like a very cool education, what's the next objective if you don't mind me asking?
Don't get discouraged if you do not land your ideal job immediately. You may have to take a gig that's outside your ideal goal to pay the bills. It's good to show future employers that you can buckle down and complete tasks in areas you aren't even interested in.
One of my very good friends finished a mech eng program from a fantastic school only to be turned down for several "dream jobs". He had a few jobs that weren't ideal for his goals, but one of those jobs connected him with Larry of Multimatic. For the last 12 or 13 years, he's been working passionately on really exciting projects all over the world.
Thank you for your life story
Aerospace with focus on bikes? Bro's building flying two-wheelers
@@DJF7819 Got a design engineering job offer from Triumph I’m working out visa details for rn and I’m joining some MotoAmerica teams this season in the pits as a volunteer
Great Video as always. Great Content. Amazing 1-take production. An embedded advert that you can't take your eyes off. This is the bar to which all YT should be held to. Keep up the great work !
best motorcycle channel on YT, and it's not even close.
absolutly the best channel on you tube.
Honestly, the skill portrayed in these videos is amazing. Another great video from Fortnine.
I'm an aerospace engineer. What Ryan said. Street motorcycle aerosurfaces are about as useful as their automotive counterparts but motorcycles aren't as forgiving with the downside. They're mostly just something to tear off when you go down. Plus nonperpendicular aerosurfaces ahead of the cg are directionally destabilizing. That's aerospace engineering talk.
@@dans2971 An ounce of pretension is worth a pound of manure but yeah, if you're going fast enough on a motorcycle for aerodynamics to be a major concern you're probably going too fast.
@@tedchristian2235I guess they sell because they look cool, and manufacturers state that “their winglets add downforce for stability at higher speeds”. What are higher speeds? 200 mph? Who the hell does that in the street? Ah, never mind…. There are those UA-camrs risking their lives for some likes and “street cred”. Fools….
Would the destabilization not be in effect until the non-vertical surface was in front and above the c of g on a ground born conveyance ? Not aerospace engineering talk just simple curiosity.
@@bobturnbull18 Having a vertical surface or a surface with a vertical component ahead of the cg has the same effect as a vertical tail behind the cg except it tends to point you away from the wind instead of into the wind so you diverge in yaw or swap ends.
@@tedchristian2235 o.k. thanks. I didn't understand that perpendicular was in reference the the direction of motion
Nice reference to the 2 stroke expansion chamber. Pioneered by a guy called Walter Kaaden who worked for MZ. He and one of the MZ race team's riders, Ernst Degner defected from MZ and the Eastern Bloc to Japan and went to Suzuki.
Next thing you know, Suzuki became the dominating force until the other big names like Honda and Yamaha got their heads around expansion chamber tech.
However, never forget the contribution made by MZ!!!
I rode an MZ once and it felt like the frame and engine were made out of lead, it was a commuter bike so obviously didn't feature any race tech, but it still blows my mind they managed to make it that heavy!
@memitim171 they're very odd bikes, but a bloody hoot to ride. Quite rare now. I own one and mines one of just 5 roadworthy examples of the model of MZ in the entire UK.
I don't think they were made to be popular, they were designed to do a job n for a budget and be easy to maintain.
That they did well. Sounds like yours was a TS250/1 Supa5 that you rode ^.^
@@stormus65 Still love that enclosed chain, why does no one else do that?
Good book too; read Stealing Speed by Mat Ohley.
@@rogerkay8603 something called style I think lol
Your point is valid, but I don’t think anyone is actually expecting to reap the aero benefits on the street. They just think they look cool.
Yesh, like big fake wings on budget rice cars, who cares its just fun and ridiculous, not everyone does things for practucality
they don't even look cool
When I was a kid I remember there was a car called the Citroen BX. The GTi models had the most ridiculous spoiler on the back - it just a rectangular bit of plastic. BXes are really rare now because the engines can be swapped into a Peugeot 205, which is much more desirable.
Cool? All winglets look like tacked on shit.
"hurr the dont even look cool and that is the only valid opinion" just let people like what they like
This video is a piece of art. Excellent job mate
I never had a motorcycle and I don't plan to purchase one but I enjoy the content of this channel very much, this video is so well done. ❤
Someone wasn't around for the indicator beeper trend back in the 79's that let you and everyone for half a mile around you know you were turning.
The master class of video making to explain a gimmick is sublime. Props to the camera guy.
This guy is the best. No gimmicks or clownshow. Just great presentation.
This dude I can’t get over how good he is in what he does, he’s the only reason I’m following this channel, and this since years. Keep on, love from Germany!
Can’t be as worthless as me on my days off 😒
that hits hard personally... me too bro me too...
hey, doing nothing, relaxing is totally fine y'know!
cant be as worthless as me just existing

I was just pregaming old fortnine videos. Thanks for spicing up my boring Saturdays at work
Sick onetake
The filmmaking on this channel is next level. You get better with every video. Respect! 💪
I'm really impressed with the great content and witty presentation of your videos! Very entertaining as well as informative.
Been seeing Squarespace segments from photographers, videographers and creators for what feels like a decade and that was by far the best one I’ve ever seen.
Ryan the "One Take Wonder" nice job!
I am now adding winglets to my Honda Vision 110
Adding them to my '95 DR...
KLR definitely requires winglets... just have to figure out how to cut them out of bleach bottles.
KLR650?
I'm adding them to my victory vision
@@ZealothPL Are there any other KLRs that routinely get fitted with milk crates and bleach bottles as accessories? And, why did that comment get censored? Why?
I'm addicted to this channel. Excellent production and talented host. Amazing!!
A masterclass in videography and presenting......great work guys!
Ayyy Ryan’s a back baby
You're a back baby 😂 👶
Baby back ribs?
Adding to that: These wings may prevent unwanted wheelies, but as wings go, they can fly upside down! When the wheelie gets steep enough, the wings will start generating lift instead of downward pressure. At high speed, that may come surprising and flip the wheelieist over backwards.
Yikes!
Ahhhh I never thought of that, but it makes sense in theory. Will have to test next time someone lends me their M1000RR :P ~RF9
@@FortNine Better let #46 test it. RF10 may not have studied a decent subject… 🤔
That’s absolutely not how wings work but okay lol.
@@indiebekonn Is there anything you'd like to teach someone who grew up with aircraft, designed model aircraft since he was twelve, piloted aircraft and studied physics about how wings work? 🙃
Just when I thought your cross-plane twin was the best video ever, you crush it with this 1. So on point, another masterclass.
Classic FortNine. Superb content and super slick delivery in one take. Love it. I can just about string a sentence together!
"Yes, is this the Police? There is a guy outside and inside the KTM shop, fanaticly walking around talking to himself, throwing wild gestures, maybe gang signs, can you please send someone?"
Genius Onetake from across the street.
That’s pretty normal from KTM riders. Trust me, I am one.
1:36 Did you just call F1, Formula Netflix?
A bit of googling reveals that this was shot at Daytona Motorsports in Vancouver, on East Cordova Street - the mural seems to have been added in 2017 as part of Vancouver's mural festival. It's a massive improvement judging by Street View's images from beforehand. The whole area is a great filming location. It's a bit like Tokyo's suburbs, flat and industrial, but not sketchy-looking.
As someone who lives in the Lower Mainland, that area is beyond sketch…
@@yojimbo21 I disagree! The western side of East Van is indeed sketchy, but this part is cool. Great art, great food, probably the best culture hub in Vancouver. ~RF9
@@FortNine some great restaurants, culture is there for sure, breweries nearby. Still sketch.
It’s sketchy compared to Dunbar, but compared to the mayhem five blocks west it’s an oasis. I ride my bicycle past that mural every day and it’s fine.
Entire video in one take is super impressive!
Love your takes man.........Keeps us all smiling 🙂
AND includes a shade on the Leafs. Masterpiece.
Oh man. Ryan took a dig at the Leafs. That’s my team. Seattle WA here.
That was gold!!! 🤣
- Ex-Vancouverite here, now living in western WA state. Still a Canucks fan.
making the whole video just in one take was a nice touch i love it
Think of wings on a motorcycle as having flame decals behind your exhaust.
What a video, what a presenter and what a good narrative. Instantly subscribed!
What a great video! Great filming, great timing, great delivery and a great message!
Fantastic artwork on the building.
yeah I love that G1 Transformer grafity
I had to stop and rewind the video because I fixated on that wall and stopped paying attention to Ryan
They've been putting wings/spoilers on 4 cylinder 150 horse power fwd cars for decades. I think we have to accept that some things are there just for the looks.
On a car they are much larger though, they don't do much I'll grant you, but it's not nothing.
on regular cars, a spoiler or wing is usually there to augment the airflow path to get rid of some flow separation and thereby reducing drag and increasing fuel economy.
they are defiantly aerodynamic surfaces, their just not there for downforce.
@@bradraymond5502 I guess I'm thinking of the models that had optional spoilers or wings. Those were definitely only cosmetic.
@@bradraymond5502 he is not talking about factory aero packages, but people who put race-car-oriented wings on non-performance cars
The production quality of these videos is amazing.
The production quality and presentation quality on these videos is incredible.
Excellent production , as always . Side note : I owned a 1981 Suzuki GS1000S once . It had a weird shaped bikini fairing , not frame-mounted , which made the front end incredibly vague on fast mountain roads . I think it was more a styling exercise in those days than an actual aero benefit anyway .
At some point you even stop paying attention to what he is saying, just enjoying the smooth talk and the seamless camera moves... Masterclass!
The combination of amazing script, beautiful cinematography and the subject, motorcycles, is just unbeatable. This channel ia chef's kiss.
That Transformers mural in the background was epic too, "Destroy All Machines"...good scouting.
The real OG of the motorcycle youtubing.
