i own a 2022 Himalayan. Ive owned a bunch of bikes over the years....Liter bikes, sport tourers, inline fours, A KLR, dirt bikes....the Himalayan is just a plain funs bike...yes its slow, but damn so fun to ride, prolly the funnest bike to ride i have owned. Your channel is well done and very entertaining keep up the excellent work!!
I was inspired to learn to ride a motorbike in part by Fortnine's review of the Ural - that led to binge-watching Itchy Boots, Doodle etc, and thinking "I can do that" - and now I took have a motorcycle licence and a Himalayan. As Ryan points out it's heavy and slow, and mine has to be warmed up after I start it otherwise the engine cuts out, but it glides over potholed roads... and the colours are nice. Plus it has loads of metal bars, so there's no shortage of places to fit a camera.
Modern scramblers are best at nothing but useful at all... until you realise you paid for an overpriced motorcycle (especially if you seek an English motorbike like a Triumph)
One thing stood out to me watching these bike reviews is that Ryan is actually wearing the gears that he showcased in his previous gear reviews. It's a nice subtle touch and it indicates that he actually believes in the quality of those equipment.
Please please, never stop making videos. The Photo/Art direction, the tone, the edition, the choice of music, the actual review and well written script. This is just an envy machine display: well deserve respect.
I would pay real money to watch a ninety-minute production - or a short series - in which they do a road trip to Prudhoe Bay, or a tour of Baffin Island or something. It would be dangerous and they would probably need sponsorship, but I have no doubt that with the right backing they could do it.
@@AshleyPomeroy Fort Nine is Peterson Publishing. The company that makes ALL the motorcycle magazines, as well as all the other topical magazines. Backing, they have plenty of. Dont you people understand this is a full blown TV Production Company?
@@Rempa The absolutely dont need sponsorship to achieve their goals. Its a giant corporation. And yes i do believe the fact that this is mere advertisement in disguise detracts significantly from its value.
As demonstrated, there are clearly better choices for riding in sand dunes but this bike feels great just about everywhere else. The test ride made me throw out previous ideas regarding the spec sheet, got one and really like it.
Happened the opposite to me. Was decided on the Scram; as soon as I hopped on it decided to get the Svartpilen. As a begginer rider, the Scram was too big and heavy for my comfort. I don't regret it, still would like to ride the Scram some day.
Rode over 1000km through Himalayas from Ladakh to Kashmir, on/off road and although I made it in one piece I wouldn't call it a pleasant experience on the scram 411 lol. Bottoms out regularly on rough terrain, no guts to push through soft road without dropping the bike and then once you drop it the weight almost stops you from being able to pick it back up! Oh and Once I reached the warming climate south of Kashmir the bike overheated very quickly and oil leaked from the head, Was stuck with an expensive mechanical bill.
In an interview that is now impossible to find, Jeremy Clarkson said the most important thing was not the cars or the destinations, or the cinematography, it was the words. Make every single word perfect. Sometimes I think someone at Fortnine saw the same interview.
I've never commented on a RUclips video before, but I felt I needed to say excellent work to Luke McAdam as well!! Ryan gets a ton of rightfully earned credit since he's on screen, but the editing and direction needs some love too! Go Luke!!
Strongly considering this for my first bike, here in rural Sonoma County, Nor Cal. Need a entry level priced commuter for good weather days, and I’m traveling about 30 miles on local hwy each way, and coastal twisted roads for weekend “fun”. Just want something fun, decent looking, and not so expensive I’m frozen in fear of its first couple dumps. Seems like a decent choice. Just look at all those colors…
Be warned, i dropped my himalayan and broke the ground. Even the paint is made of steel. I prefer the 21" wheel on the himalayan over the smaller one on the scram.
@@mattyb7736 scram would probably be better if you’re using it purely for commutes and occasional scramblin. I love my himalayan for long trips and trails though.
@MotorcycleWrites maybe, I've ridden the scram, not as composed as the himalayan in my opinion. That bigger front wheel makes it not as eager to trun itself inside out in corners. I just like the big lazy front wheels, especially off road.
I'm considering a Scram for the same reasons, a commuter that I can take off road on forest service roads from time to time. If I where into going off road the Himalayan would probably be the better choice, the Scram seems to be better suited for my type of riding.
@@LeoTheComm I can highly recommend the platform, definitely ride it and some other competitors if you can though (or at least look at them). The scram’s definitely not class-leading and there are much more modern options if you shell out just a little more money. If you want an old-school long stroke single though I adore my himalayan and I’m sure the scram is great.
"Nevermind that, look at all those colors" Me each time I enter my local RE Dealer. Seriously, what a beautiful sight...good to see a manufacturer add more flash from factory on all models. I recently sold my Meteor 350 to get a Super Meteor 650 this coming summer, but dang this 411 Scrambler always catches my eye...
I've been considering a couple of bikes for the last year or so, and for 2023 both manufacturers painted them in terrible colors. (Matt beige? seriously?) I guess I will sensibly go back to find a used one in the "right" color.
there is supposedly a water cooled 400cc or so engine in the works with almost double the output of the aircooled 411. P.S - Enjoy the 650, I'm in love with my GT
instead of reading the spec sheet, something we all can do but most youtubers also keep doing in their videos, he actually provides something more important: the feeling of riding it and how it performs where it's potential buyers will use it
Yea I was thinking that the other day. Vloggers reviewing different styles of bikes, but riding the same roads /routes at the same speed, whilst drivelling on about modes, slip assist clutches, cruis... Zzzzzzzzzz
As eager as I was to dismiss this bike on specs, almost every vid on it has the rider describing how much fun it is to ride, even while acknowledging the known spec shortfalls. I bought one and it's a hoot. Great first bike. And it's cheap enough that I don't necessarily see myself getting rid of it when I'm ready for something faster.
Ryan you've combined the true essence of riding motorbikes with (old) Top Gear level commentary and editing, with amazing music and well-thought-out diagrams. Cheer to you mate. I hope I can enjoy your videos for a long time ;)
Every time Ryan does a motorcycle review, I wanna go out and buy the bike. Not necessarily because I need it, but because he makes every and any bike look cool.
@@JumpingWatermelons Clearly you didn't listen to what he was saying lmao, he said the bike is perfectly capable of all the things you buy a bike like this to actually do if not the best at any of them, and at the end of the day the whole point of a "scrambler" is just to get out into the world and "just look at all those colours".
I dont even own a motorcycle or know how to ride one, but I never miss a chance to watch one of yalls videos. Your passion bleeds through in every one of these videos. Love it!
I watched those videos for some time and recently I bought one. Well, it is a scooter/moped and it is electric so most people riding a motorcycle wont even look at that but it is So much better in city, riding to work got interesting instead of tedious and it is quiet So regardless of my mood it doesnt exhaust me. Great thing, I am 100% more into cars and never looked at motorcycle but cars are terrible inefficient in city and it is no fun to sit in traffic
Life is very short Mr. Bush. If you can ride a bicycle, you can easily ride a motorcycle w/a little training. When I was a kid, I taught myself sitting on the side of my bed pretending I was on a machine. Braaap rap rap (the 2stroke days) 🤣. It worked. Buy a smaller used (250-500cc) bike and get out there before you're dead. YOLO!!
The Scram 411 is what scramblers were when it all kicked off. It's a nice nostalgic nod to an era when things were less complicated, and scrambling was just a bit of fun rather than a do-or-die race with potentially fatal consequences.
@@truthseeker111 No, a TW200 is - as Ryan has called it - a farm bike equivalent of a tractor on 2 wheels and specifically built to be so. A scrambler is as Ryan also described it here, a street bike turned scrambler - basically an old British single with bigger wheels and nobbies, voila exactly like this bike.
Except when scarmbling kicked they could actually do some duning back then. Forget about advancing or moving forward this is worse than the old days but at least it's cheap and more reliable than any actual British bike
@@andrewoh1663 sorry no. Scrambling was very common near river beds and barren lands with thick sand, it moved on to dirt hills and gave rise to motocross and dirt rallies. The original Scramblers from the 60s, the norton metisse, Bsa hornet, montessa la cross, the Greeves challenger, Ascot scrambler, Bonneville tt special were all good at it. Steve McQueen himself reviewed all of them. And fact is all those bikes would either be equal or better than this overweight RE, and they came with actual off-road tyres like the motocross tyres today, not these narrow all season looking tyres. The fact is they haven't improved and even made bike heavier with narrower tyres makes says a lot about this bike. This whole segment now is just an attempt at fake retro looking bikes just like a lot of RE's business, its built on fake nostalgia for things that never existed. They're nothing like an actual old bike from just made to look like them with badly designed 4 stroke engines, actual old bikes like the original Scramblers were all light weight 2 strokes
After Working with the Royal Enfield AFT Team on an engine component design and production, we have grown to love this company and their bikes. Cheap and good bikes for what they are, I want one personally for fun and my wife to learn, because man, look at all them colors for her to choose from.
@@richards1816 colours are important to lots of people, man or woman! RE just seem to do a wide variety of cool colours whilst many other manufacturers offer like black, white, grey. I'm not sure why more manufacturers don't offer more colours, maybe there's some paint logistics that make it difficult to manage, but I think it's one of REs strengths.
@@MrJulianneave It's the way they design their bikes, only 2-3 components actually need to be painted to change the colour of the bike because the rest is black steel or chrome. Its a smart idea because they can offer a lot of colours and only have to make 2-3 specific parts per colour but the downside is you won't ever have a complete colour throughout the bike. It will always have a lot of black steel or chrome. Also, the models they make don't have a lot of fairings like sportbikes so they can avoid having to make a dozen or so parts for a specific colour.
@@MrJulianneave You missed my tongue in cheek response to 1Zero3 Media above about lots of colors for his wife to choose from... many, not all, women aren't concerned with technical specs of a motorcycle (or car) initially but are drawn to a color they like first, then other aspects maybe later.
I live near where this was shot, and I have to give him credit for being tough. If this was filmed recently, then he filmed through some pretty cold weather. Thanks for suffering, so we could enjoy a good video!
The ride from Portland to Florence was probably the coldest I've ever been on a motorcycle! Of course dragging 430lb through the dunes was enough to keep me warm for the rest of the trip. ~RF9
It says something about the quality of this channel that you can make even a budget scrambler review so informative, beautiful and entertaining. Never change guys ❤
What a fantastic review. Thank you! I’ve owned bikes from 13hp to 120hp but the most fun I’ve ever had was on the lighter and less powerful ones. This one is definitely going on my wishlist. I mean look at all those colors!!!
Tw200 kinda lame duck, but still more capable than this, maybe even on the road too. I have a 1985 xt350, with MX suspension front and rear, that's what you want to scramble. 100 mpg, 89mph, 250 lbs, weirdly stable at 65 mph all day.
I stopped watching motorcycle content over a year ago, but I still snap up every Fortnine video that drops. Every video is made with such love and enthusiasm that he could be talking about anything and I would still be interested. I don't watch bike videos anymore, but who cares about that, look at all those colors.
Top notch script writing, humor, videography, high level art form .... i just got a meteor 350 ... and with this review you just convinced me to get another Royal Enfield a Scram 411 :)
If you're into bikes, this is a must a watch channel. The creativity, the production, the charisma... it's just in a league of it's own. I love your stuff, keep up this amazing work.
My buddy had a Himalayan. We were riding a creek bed and he went down in some sand at a low speed. After getting the bike back up the rear wheel was locked, but after some headscratching we realized that the brake pedal had been bent BY THE SAND and was now catching on something. My buddy bent it back into shape with his hand (singular) and we carried on with our fun. He liked the bike, as did we all, but there's a reason it doesn't cost very much.
When I pikced my himalayan up at the dealer in Ecuador, the salesman was adjusting the mirrors for my height and so loosened off the bolt to do so. After adjusting he was tightening it back up and the entire lever/mirror assembly bracket literally snapped into two... He was barely tightening it snug lmaoo. We both just looked at each other like wtf.
I that is the beauty of it, a srewdriver and a hammer is enough to carry you around the world where as a BMW will need a service station visit with a big bill.
Always the gold standard of reviews, newcomers like me are learning so much from you guys. The 'stressed member' gag had me LOL so loud my partner came in to check up on me. Great, production, great script and flawless delivery, what a fantastic team.
I thought my KlR 650 was heavy and underpowered. I feel like I'm riding at the top of the world after this review. Thanks, Ryan. Look all those colors.
As a born American who visited my family in India when I was 10 yro. I saw my grandfathers Royal enfield Bullet. I heard he also had an older one somewhere when he came back from ww2 serving the Lashkar Indian brigade of the British army. The thing is RE might not be as fast as other or stronger but the History and Class RE holds is unbeatable.
every motorcycle manufacturer boasts a rich history. Nothing special about Enfiled history, They make the most unreliable and underpowered motorcycles in the world.
@@npn9409 "Unreliable" you say lmao... 4K brand new, can be fixed with a dollar tree tool set- and people in countries without electricity manage to keep fleets of them going for years... As opposed to our BRAAAPPP BRAHBRAHBRAH Harley "History" who makes overpriced break down fodder for retirees and meth- I mean "Bike" clubs.
@@unclebadger597 The thought of meaning the "new" one never even crossed my mind. Thank you for making sure no one thought I might have... what a shame if they did 😄
Don’t know why but that last ‘ look at all those colours’ caught me off guard and got me all emotional. Wonderful video sir, don’t recommend the flag if you’re using here in Blighty in Salisbury plains as you might be mistaken for the ‘rabbit’ and even the bash plate won’t stop a tank round!
It's videos like this one that made me a fan of this channel and convinced me I could get into motorcycles in the first place. His review of Enfield's Continental GT convinced me to buy my first bike: its Interceptor twin. Orange Crush, of course. 10,000 miles and a year later, that bike and this channel still make me giggle like a fool. Just happy to be here 👍🏾
@@billumand Oh ok ok thanks! Understood many references but not that one. I have it now because this video convinced me and after having a KTM I really appreciate not having 3000 sensors that can fail in the middle of nowhere.
I bought a RE 411 BS4 almost a year ago (now with 18k+ kms in the clock) as my first ever motorcycle. Definetly you just hit all the highs & lows of the motorcycle clearly and honest way. I try myself to skip the sand dunes (I live in Atacama Desert) on my himalayan cause is a heavy cruiser! One of the best things the Himalayan 411 does is to be the best motorcycle to start with because of the price, cheap to maintain, you can do your own services, but also the motorcycle is very user-friendly, very kind with the newbies, easy to control, you can have both feets flat on the floor, smooth clutch, lazy-enough acceleration, excellent consumption (average 400km per tank). I really liked this video of yours, also I agree and share the same opinion about the Himalayan 411 (ADV or Scrambler). Thank you for this video and the job you do with your team. Saludos!
After that review, I doubt RE would care if you lit the thing on fire as the end scene. Top quality viewing as always and besides, look at all those colours!
What I gathered from this review: 1. Reliable as Frick. 2. Will get you out of whatever hole you got yourself stuck in... eventually. 3. Easy to maintain. Really easy to maintain, just more of it is required. 4. Heavy but strong as frack. Will ride nice on the streets without being too fragile for the dirt. 5. Is just an adventure bike on street tires. But cheap, and better than most scramblers.
As an Indian I must say that the Fortnine reviews surpasses all of the RE Scram reviews by the Indian media so far- Trust me on this one this man is a godsent fr. Thank you for the visually breathtaking videos I get in my feed.
This made my day! The Scram 411 is my first motorcycle and I'm loving it, I was stunned at what you actually highlighted it in, what a gorgeous place to test it to the extreme, Silver Spirit is what I have...*but look at all those colors*... 😉
I don't know how many times I've watched this review, but I know one thing - every time I hear someone say: "Look at all..." I immediately add: "...those colours!" and have a stupid smile on my face because I remember this video!
Bravo. Just. The writing. The visual story telling. The ending. Bravo bravo bravo. I sometimes listen to these episodes before writing essays; not because they're at all related to my subject matter, but simply because I find your writing so beautifully composed.
I have a Scram and this episode just makes me like it even more (than I already do). Really well done and I wish there were some rideable sand dunes in my neck of the woods...
Amazing cinematography and great script as always! Also really nice seeing you do an RE review again. Royal Enfield has become a really interesting brand these last few years. Keep it up!
Man, I just wanted to say that your production quality continues to improve. The scripting, the camera work and your riding technique just all add up to a very enjoyable and informative video. Also, thank you for visiting my home state of Oregon. (I almost forgot, the very subtle insertion of the Willhelm scream gave me a huge laugh.)
I have a Himalayan here in Ireland it's ideal for the mountain tracks,back roads etc, but I wouldn't be Daft enough to take it into deep loose sand, great video 📸. again!
I live in the Southern California high desert and take mine in deep sand all the time. It does fine. Ideal? No. But it makes it without much fuss. Which is basically the entire vibe of that bike.
I have to say that these video essays / reviews are the only ones I watch at least twice and then again weeks later. They are just so nice, calming and interesting. I’ll raise a pint to you Ryan and team. Especially as it’s St. Paddy’s day in a couple of days…so I that’ll be a pint of the black stuff. I Thank youse all.
Éste es uno de los mejores vídeos de la "Scram 411" que he visto. Gracias por el estilo de narración, es divertido y serio al mismo tiempo. Saludos desde Talca, Chile.
@@unmaltipo Siddharth Lal, made a statement in 2017 about it, it has been spotted since 2022, being tested, it is almost end of the first quarter of 2023, rumours say 2024. CoViD-19 came and has almost gone, and, we still wait for a bihger, better Himalayan-esque Motorcycle from Eicher.
That's one of the best for sure! Piano companies and deserts, possibly my favorite F9 line. I have a WR250R and still want a TW someday because of that video. Is it as magical as you thought it would be?
@@Ozark221 I think so! I"m pretty new to motorcycle riding but I just like smaller bikes in theory and practice. I have a lot of videos up on my channel if you're interested.
to be honest the greatest review here is how much fun you seemed to have, I felt a bond develop between you and the bike after that successful hillclimb
He makes literally makes fun of this bike, shows how horrible it is off-road for an 'adventure' bike and you still think he likes the bike. I don't know if that's dedication or blindness but I guess you can still look at the colors and be happy on bad bike. You could also be happier with a crf but then you don't get the colors
Fantastic production as always! Love to see someone acknowledging that a scrambler frequently is a more of a street bike made worse for the looks of it rather than an adventure bike that is pleasing to the eye. My brother loves them on Instagram, I keep telling him that is where they belong, and this one seems to be a clever exception.
I love my Himalayan! It's been super reliable and perfect for the dusty back roads and fire trails here in Australia, with the occasional 6 hour day ride on the highway. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to go back to a CB500X and that Japanese build quality, but since I wanted to avoid the used bike market, nothing came close in price to the Himalayan. Not to mention, I like Itchy Boots ;)
Great ending. Cinematically, Chekov's gun. But in a different way. There's a lot of novelty to Royal Enfield, but in a good way that's good for motorcycling in general. I for one, am so glad that they do make their bikes with all those colors.
I couldn't believe it wasn't busier when we were filming there! Expansive dunes, scrubby trails and legal beach riding (!) all in the same area. It's a paradise. ~RF9

@@Carlisho That's implying most crossovers and suvs aren't entirely road princesses. Also at least scramblers look good...

Need a entry level priced commuter for good weather days, and I’m traveling about 30 miles on local hwy each way, and coastal twisted roads for weekend “fun”. Just want something fun, decent looking, and not so expensive I’m frozen in fear of its first couple dumps. Seems like a decent choice. Just look at all those colors…
Be warned, i dropped my himalayan and broke the ground. Even the paint is made of steel. I prefer the 21" wheel on the himalayan over the smaller one on the scram.
@@mattyb7736 scram would probably be better if you’re using it purely for commutes and occasional scramblin. I love my himalayan for long trips and trails though.
@MotorcycleWrites maybe, I've ridden the scram, not as composed as the himalayan in my opinion. That bigger front wheel makes it not as eager to trun itself inside out in corners. I just like the big lazy front wheels, especially off road.
I'm considering a Scram for the same reasons, a commuter that I can take off road on forest service roads from time to time. If I where into going off road the Himalayan would probably be the better choice, the Scram seems to be better suited for my type of riding.
@@LeoTheComm I can highly recommend the platform, definitely ride it and some other competitors if you can though (or at least look at them). The scram’s definitely not class-leading and there are much more modern options if you shell out just a little more money. If you want an old-school long stroke single though I adore my himalayan and I’m sure the scram is great.
The quality and thoughtfulness that goes into every episode. INSANE
My favorite moto channel for sure
His witty jokes, dude. Always caught me off guard. 👌
@@ammarharith5512 the look at all those colors tie-in at the end. Creative AF.
@@ammarharith5512 and look at all these colors!
He does have a whole team to make these magical vids happen. Blesses to them.
"Nevermind that, look at all those colors"
Me each time I enter my local RE Dealer. Seriously, what a beautiful sight...good to see a manufacturer add more flash from factory on all models.
I recently sold my Meteor 350 to get a Super Meteor 650 this coming summer, but dang this 411 Scrambler always catches my eye...
Why not both🥺
I've been considering a couple of bikes for the last year or so, and for 2023 both manufacturers painted them in terrible colors. (Matt beige? seriously?) I guess I will sensibly go back to find a used one in the "right" color.
there is supposedly a water cooled 400cc or so engine in the works with almost double the output of the aircooled 411. P.S - Enjoy the 650, I'm in love with my GT
I'm waiting for news on the Shotgun 650.
hi bladed
instead of reading the spec sheet, something we all can do but most youtubers also keep doing in their videos, he actually provides something more important: the feeling of riding it and how it performs where it's potential buyers will use it
Yea I was thinking that the other day. Vloggers reviewing different styles of bikes, but riding the same roads /routes at the same speed, whilst drivelling on about modes, slip assist clutches, cruis... Zzzzzzzzzz
As eager as I was to dismiss this bike on specs, almost every vid on it has the rider describing how much fun it is to ride, even while acknowledging the known spec shortfalls.
I bought one and it's a hoot. Great first bike. And it's cheap enough that I don't necessarily see myself getting rid of it when I'm ready for something faster.
Ryan you've combined the true essence of riding motorbikes with (old) Top Gear level commentary and editing, with amazing music and well-thought-out diagrams. Cheer to you mate. I hope I can enjoy your videos for a long time ;)
Yes, these vids are art.
Top gear of Motorcycles. So true.
Every time Ryan does a motorcycle review, I wanna go out and buy the bike. Not necessarily because I need it, but because he makes every and any bike look cool.
I bought a Super Tenere without ever having actually seen one just based on his 24 hour Super Tenere video. No regrets.
Did you even listen to what he was saying? This bike is crap
@@JumpingWatermelons Clearly you didn't listen to what he was saying lmao, he said the bike is perfectly capable of all the things you buy a bike like this to actually do if not the best at any of them, and at the end of the day the whole point of a "scrambler" is just to get out into the world and "just look at all those colours".
I am convinced Ryan in the long lost 4th member of top gear. Abandoned for his motorcycle favouritism
True! 🤟😎❤️🇺🇸
I dont even own a motorcycle or know how to ride one, but I never miss a chance to watch one of yalls videos. Your passion bleeds through in every one of these videos. Love it!
Yet.
Then, you know what time it is..
Time to get a motorcycle 🏍️
I watched those videos for some time and recently I bought one.
Well, it is a scooter/moped and it is electric so most people riding a motorcycle wont even look at that but it is So much better in city, riding to work got interesting instead of tedious and it is quiet So regardless of my mood it doesnt exhaust me. Great thing, I am 100% more into cars and never looked at motorcycle but cars are terrible inefficient in city and it is no fun to sit in traffic
you're better off, riding is dangerous... but just look at those colors
Life is very short Mr. Bush. If you can ride a bicycle, you can easily ride a motorcycle w/a little training.
When I was a kid, I taught myself sitting on the side of my bed pretending I was on a machine. Braaap rap rap (the 2stroke days) 🤣.
It worked.
Buy a smaller used (250-500cc) bike and get out there before you're dead. YOLO!!
The Scram 411 is what scramblers were when it all kicked off. It's a nice nostalgic nod to an era when things were less complicated, and scrambling was just a bit of fun rather than a do-or-die race with potentially fatal consequences.
A TW200 is what you described 💯
@@truthseeker111 No, a TW200 is - as Ryan has called it - a farm bike equivalent of a tractor on 2 wheels and specifically built to be so. A scrambler is as Ryan also described it here, a street bike turned scrambler - basically an old British single with bigger wheels and nobbies, voila exactly like this bike.
Except when scarmbling kicked they could actually do some duning back then. Forget about advancing or moving forward this is worse than the old days but at least it's cheap and more reliable than any actual British bike
@@shivamarya5225 sorry no.
Scrambling started in the UK as a race on hilly or rocky ground using big old 4 strokes. There was no 'duning' in the UK
@@andrewoh1663 sorry no. Scrambling was very common near river beds and barren lands with thick sand, it moved on to dirt hills and gave rise to motocross and dirt rallies. The original Scramblers from the 60s, the norton metisse, Bsa hornet, montessa la cross, the Greeves challenger, Ascot scrambler, Bonneville tt special were all good at it. Steve McQueen himself reviewed all of them. And fact is all those bikes would either be equal or better than this overweight RE, and they came with actual off-road tyres like the motocross tyres today, not these narrow all season looking tyres. The fact is they haven't improved and even made bike heavier with narrower tyres makes says a lot about this bike. This whole segment now is just an attempt at fake retro looking bikes just like a lot of RE's business, its built on fake nostalgia for things that never existed. They're nothing like an actual old bike from just made to look like them with badly designed 4 stroke engines, actual old bikes like the original Scramblers were all light weight 2 strokes
Proud owner of a scram 411 and is a really fun motorcycle to ride, is not fast, but is really fun!
After Working with the Royal Enfield AFT Team on an engine component design and production, we have grown to love this company and their bikes. Cheap and good bikes for what they are, I want one personally for fun and my wife to learn, because man, look at all them colors for her to choose from.
Colors are important to women! 😉
😂😂
@@richards1816 colours are important to lots of people, man or woman! RE just seem to do a wide variety of cool colours whilst many other manufacturers offer like black, white, grey. I'm not sure why more manufacturers don't offer more colours, maybe there's some paint logistics that make it difficult to manage, but I think it's one of REs strengths.
@@MrJulianneave It's the way they design their bikes, only 2-3 components actually need to be painted to change the colour of the bike because the rest is black steel or chrome. Its a smart idea because they can offer a lot of colours and only have to make 2-3 specific parts per colour but the downside is you won't ever have a complete colour throughout the bike. It will always have a lot of black steel or chrome. Also, the models they make don't have a lot of fairings like sportbikes so they can avoid having to make a dozen or so parts for a specific colour.
@@MrJulianneave You missed my tongue in cheek response to 1Zero3 Media above about lots of colors for his wife to choose from... many, not all, women aren't concerned with technical specs of a motorcycle (or car) initially but are drawn to a color they like first, then other aspects maybe later.
I live near where this was shot, and I have to give him credit for being tough. If this was filmed recently, then he filmed through some pretty cold weather. Thanks for suffering, so we could enjoy a good video!
The ride from Portland to Florence was probably the coldest I've ever been on a motorcycle! Of course dragging 430lb through the dunes was enough to keep me warm for the rest of the trip. ~RF9

It says something about the quality of this channel that you can make even a budget scrambler review so informative, beautiful and entertaining. Never change guys ❤
What a fantastic review. Thank you! I’ve owned bikes from 13hp to 120hp but the most fun I’ve ever had was on the lighter and less powerful ones. This one is definitely going on my wishlist. I mean look at all those colors!!!
💯 TW200
@@truthseeker111 we get it, you like the TW 😂
Tw200 kinda lame duck, but still more capable than this, maybe even on the road too. I have a 1985 xt350, with MX suspension front and rear, that's what you want to scramble. 100 mpg, 89mph, 250 lbs, weirdly stable at 65 mph all day.
it's not exactly lighter..
Scram 411 is not light. It is quite heavy and actually feels underpoweres. The engine design is also ancient.
I stopped watching motorcycle content over a year ago, but I still snap up every Fortnine video that drops. Every video is made with such love and enthusiasm that he could be talking about anything and I would still be interested. I don't watch bike videos anymore, but who cares about that, look at all those colors.
There’s actually a cheese review vid 😂😂
Top notch script writing, humor, videography, high level art form .... i just got a meteor 350 ... and with this review you just convinced me to get another Royal Enfield a Scram 411 :)
I have a Classic 350 and would now like to add a Scram to the stable.
My God that production quality!
Not only the best motorcycle content on the platform but some of the best content out there, regardless of category
Exactly my thought.
Holy hell... that cinematography is levels above anything I've ever seen, absolutely incredible, jaw dropping!
Their Husqvarna review... Watch it if you haven't. But really, all of F9 is on another level.
If you're into bikes, this is a must a watch channel.
The creativity, the production, the charisma... it's just in a league of it's own.
I love your stuff, keep up this amazing work.
My buddy had a Himalayan. We were riding a creek bed and he went down in some sand at a low speed. After getting the bike back up the rear wheel was locked, but after some headscratching we realized that the brake pedal had been bent BY THE SAND and was now catching on something. My buddy bent it back into shape with his hand (singular) and we carried on with our fun. He liked the bike, as did we all, but there's a reason it doesn't cost very much.
When I pikced my himalayan up at the dealer in Ecuador, the salesman was adjusting the mirrors for my height and so loosened off the bolt to do so. After adjusting he was tightening it back up and the entire lever/mirror assembly bracket literally snapped into two... He was barely tightening it snug lmaoo. We both just looked at each other like wtf.
I that is the beauty of it, a srewdriver and a hammer is enough to carry you around the world where as a BMW will need a service station visit with a big bill.
@@prashanthb6521 The BMW wont snap in half, thought

Always the gold standard of reviews, newcomers like me are learning so much from you guys. The 'stressed member' gag had me LOL so loud my partner came in to check up on me. Great, production, great script and flawless delivery, what a fantastic team.
Thank you Ryan! I was looking for an Enfield review and I found this masterpiece. This channel ages like fine wine.
One of the few reviewers who does a motorcycle review that leaves you to completely draw your own conclusions. Top Notch!
I thought my KlR 650 was heavy and underpowered. I feel like I'm riding at the top of the world after this review. Thanks, Ryan. Look all those colors.
And you can drop it in a creek and it'll be fine, I know I've done it!
How many colours does the klr come in? 😃

Don’t know why but that last ‘ look at all those colours’ caught me off guard and got me all emotional.
Wonderful video sir, don’t recommend the flag if you’re using here in Blighty in Salisbury plains as you might be mistaken for the ‘rabbit’ and even the bash plate won’t stop a tank round!
Same thing, the repeating phrase one more time, right as it might have crossed over into annoying suddenly nailed the heart. Very well done.
Having a flag in the dunes is legally required in the vain hope that someone sees it poking up prior to launching into you.
Caught me square in the feels, too.
Yeah that last ending statement hit home hard. Reminded me of my own rides out in the wild. Such a peaceful ending shot
fort nine make even the promotional adverts watchable … honestly, you guys are the best out there 👍
These are the sorts of motorcycle videos that make non riders want to find out what they're missing. Rare, indeed. Some might say, 'priceless'.
It's videos like this one that made me a fan of this channel and convinced me I could get into motorcycles in the first place. His review of Enfield's Continental GT convinced me to buy my first bike: its Interceptor twin. Orange Crush, of course.
10,000 miles and a year later, that bike and this channel still make me giggle like a fool. Just happy to be here 👍🏾

@@billumand Oh ok ok thanks! Understood many references but not that one. I have it now because this video convinced me and after having a KTM I really appreciate not having 3000 sensors that can fail in the middle of nowhere.
Totally reminds me of good old top gear. Style, narration, editing and of course the sheer amount of quality. Love it.
Oh boy, here I am planning on moving on from an unreliable Enfield Thunderbird to a nice v- Strom 250 and then you release this lovely little video
I bought a RE 411 BS4 almost a year ago (now with 18k+ kms in the clock) as my first ever motorcycle. Definetly you just hit all the highs & lows of the motorcycle clearly and honest way.
I try myself to skip the sand dunes (I live in Atacama Desert) on my himalayan cause is a heavy cruiser! One of the best things the Himalayan 411 does is to be the best motorcycle to start with because of the price, cheap to maintain, you can do your own services, but also the motorcycle is very user-friendly, very kind with the newbies, easy to control, you can have both feets flat on the floor, smooth clutch, lazy-enough acceleration, excellent consumption (average 400km per tank).
I really liked this video of yours, also I agree and share the same opinion about the Himalayan 411 (ADV or Scrambler). Thank you for this video and the job you do with your team.
Saludos!
After that review, I doubt RE would care if you lit the thing on fire as the end scene. Top quality viewing as always and besides, look at all those colours!
What I gathered from this review:
1. Reliable as Frick.
2. Will get you out of whatever hole you got yourself stuck in... eventually.
3. Easy to maintain. Really easy to maintain, just more of it is required.
4. Heavy but strong as frack. Will ride nice on the streets without being too fragile for the dirt.
5. Is just an adventure bike on street tires. But cheap, and better than most scramblers.
Skookum as frig! And I'm from Poland...
Slow and strong, simple.
I really like the way you integrated your sponsor pitch so naturally into this video. Another wonderful video. Thank you.
As an Indian I must say that the Fortnine reviews surpasses all of the RE Scram reviews by the Indian media so far- Trust me on this one this man is a godsent fr. Thank you for the visually breathtaking videos I get in my feed.

Hands down the best review of a scram. Every time I watch a fortnine video I am reminded it's really the only channel I truly enjoy.
I've been riding a Himalayan since 2018. It is fantastic. Bought another.
I have to say that these video essays / reviews are the only ones I watch at least twice and then again weeks later. They are just so nice, calming and interesting.

to be honest the greatest review here is how much fun you seemed to have, I felt a bond develop between you and the bike after that successful hillclimb
He makes literally makes fun of this bike, shows how horrible it is off-road for an 'adventure' bike and you still think he likes the bike. I don't know if that's dedication or blindness but I guess you can still look at the colors and be happy on bad bike. You could also be happier with a crf but then you don't get the colors

Fantastic production as always! Love to see someone acknowledging that a scrambler frequently is a more of a street bike made worse for the looks of it rather than an adventure bike that is pleasing to the eye. My brother loves them on Instagram, I keep telling him that is where they belong, and this one seems to be a clever exception.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to go back to a CB500X and that Japanese build quality, but since I wanted to avoid the used bike market, nothing came close in price to the Himalayan.
