Maybe if you copy and paste 1,618 into YOUTube this might work. Yoshi wrote on 05/14/14 at 16:40:57: WTF, I tired watching it but no go :-D

Posts: 2581 London ontario Gender:	Re: How to calculate the proportions of your Bike Reply #12 - 05/14/14 at 19:36:18 I built a listening room to that ratio- short wall 1.618 * ceiling height, long wall 1.618* short wall. This drastically reduces standing waves and therefore resonant nodes, in the room.

One word.... BULL....

The overall looks of a bike is about flow.... not some silly number calculated to minus 1.618 of any given part or dimension.

Someone is stuck on themselves... and think they know the answer to life.

The Japanese think they have the answer...its called "feng shui"... should I do a video for that?

Symmetry.....there is no measurement for it... it just IS.... Cool

We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us.

I agree that building a café using the formula and building a café not using the formula isn't going to alter the way both these bikes operate.
I find it very interesting however that some major automobile manufactures and possibly some motorcycle manufactures use such formulas when drafting plans to produce new vehicles. a lot more thought goes into these than previously realised.
I wonder if Ryca takes this into account?
