I don't think art history was wasted on you. Your videos are masterpieces.
Give a little shout out to Steve people. Do you see those lines on Ryan's hands every now and then? Those are hand drawn. Frame by frame.
kidmosey pun?
@@Fee.1 hand drawn
How you know if they are hand drawn. Ever heard of key frames?
@@JohnSmith-yw4bh I know that they are hand drawn because I make similar effects in AE. Ofcourse you could do this by keyframing transformation but it would look just awful and it would probably be more work
John Smith pretty sure that’s what he means. Wtf other meaning could there be? That he’s drawing them on top of our screen live while we watch ??
+1 for honouring your mother. +1 for speaking well of your wife. =Sound masculinity. +1 for objective reviews. +1 for speaking well of your employer. =Integrity. +1 for living all over Canada. =I like it. Total= My favourite motorcycle channel on RUclips.
1aa
Jeff Wiebe , I can’t decide what is better about Ryan. His knowledge of all things motorcycle, or Steve and Ryan’s videos. Best of both. I feel guilty for not paying to see these awesome, professionally well done movies. They should be on the big screen, with Academy awards given to Fort Nine for production quality and content! Thank you very much Fort Nine! I even wish I was Canadian now.
Hes canadian.. did you expect him to bag on anyone? Lol
When the Ryans of the world demonstrate sound masculinity through their own behavior, they make it harder for us to ignore toxic masculinity when we see it.
Be like Ryan.
Miles Corporosus Associating “toxicity” (whatever that means) with masculinity is like linking it to body height or hair colour. 🤦♂️
My mom wouldn't let me ride either. I finally rebelled when I was 48, still tried to hide it from her lol.
Lol, 47 and just about to do the same thing! :) Adventure though, as the idea of proper roading scares me (yeah, I'm a pussy :))
Haha, I got you guys beat. My mom said ok, for years. Then got married wife said she didn't want me to die on it at 22ish, I quit the bike. 2020 she relented...I'm 66 and just got my second bike. Yeah whipped.
I cried my eyes out at 17 . Got a 150cc yamaha fzs . Probably looks like a toy to most but i had the time of my life , and i didnt die even when i crashed . So thats cool.
My mom wouldn’t let me ride so I bought a house just so I could ride motorcycles 😂. Didn’t really want to move out yet but I really wanted to ride lol.
Ha ha that was hilarious! Great comment. 🤣
Your reviews look like they're produced by BBC's Top Gear
And that's why your videos are the only ones i watch
Kudos!
top gear, but during the trio season (Hammond, Jeremy and Captain Slow)
Chaos causes makes quality videos too
@@averageheightwizard4798 top gear died when they left
Yes, but the earlier great stuff rather than the awful designed by committee recent nonsense
Yeah I had the exact same thought, it's like top gear in its prime, just for motorcycles (with a smaller budget^^)
Now I understand why the production quality is so good! Not a two person thing but a whole team of talent. Makes sense.
That engine noise at 6:55😂😂
Why are you here lol
@@DeathracerXD I am everywhere 👀
@@JunkyardDigs everywhere...
Hey! 👋
"B-R-R-_RAWWW DiDIDiDI BR-R-R-AWWW DIDID"
"Yeah that sounds great"
Yup we all just saw the video too.
I liked the video when I heard that, so unexpected 😂
I at first thought he was trying to imitate Jonathan Davis’ scatting. I was extremely confused.
Ryan it's nice that you want to share some things of your personal life. You seem like a really cool and down to earth guy and this is strangely rare on the motorcycle online (and real...) world. Thanks for your excellent contribution to the community.
Always entertaining and funny and informative and honest. You are doing a fantastic job as a moto fanatic who as a great hability to speak about it! Congrats Ryan! Keep on the great work!
This brings me back to the “golden age” of motovlogging. Simply riding around and telling great stories. Great job Ryan and Steve!
NICE JOB STEVE
Looool I love Steve's edits 😂😂
I was going to like this but the immature little idiot in me doesn't want to distort that wonderful number.
Hey do you recognise my profile picture?
@@clakoclakson nope wtf is that?!
@@Django0324 I was asking the OP because his picture is from the band blink-182, same as mine. I found it funny that we both like FortNine and have the logo of blink-182
I’m a grumpy old man who avoids most “bikers” but you’re alright man.
Good job, keep it up, I enjoy your videos. 😎👍
Hey Grumpy! Me too! Almost all the bikers I meet....Ain't.
They keep their chrome sleds safely tucked away in the garage. My KLR650 is a filthy old bitch that I ride year 'round. Rain, mud, what-the-fuck-ever. None of the Harleys I have owned could deal with what I do everyday.
I prefer this more raw review to the actual G310R review from last week. Less editing, sound effects and prose and more actual thoughts about the good and bad of the bike.
The other one is better because it has good editing, a story, represents this channel well and is just awesome. It appeals way better to the masses, who probably wont buy the bike or are even thinking about it, but will watch it cause of the video itself.
Fair! That G310 review was pretty wack, even for us. Lol. ~RF9
Agreed, the last few have been too heavy on "art"
There was no thoughts about the good or bad of bike. He was talking about himself not bike. how can you compare this video with G310R review.
The FortNine team makes awesome videos although the last one was little wack but still different and stands out of crowd.
Yah them dank rhyming couplets...RyanF9 please no more. Got my popcorn ready for the takedown of the motorcycle journalism industry though.
I was ordering something etc from Fort Nine and speaking to customer service and they actually like you and said I should comment on your video's and that you very much appreciate it. Cool! Cheers Ryan & Fortnine
Your reviews are the only ones worth watching as it is obvious you are very honest with what you say. When I get back on two wheels FortNine will be the only place I will shop and your reviews will be a determining factor on the purchases. Thank you.
Did you get back on two wheels? Hope you did, It took me 15+ years, so I know life has a nasty habit of getting in a way.
Two years Later I just got a package from them today, they are my go too
Ryan, Great to hear how it all started for you . Your unbiased reviews are a breath of fresh air. Man your roads are so quiet. You'd struggle to ride one handed for that long in the UK.
Joseph Edmund Reynolds, or in the states. I've hit pot holes that I thought bent my wheel.
@@ravenprince.23 potholes where I live do bend wheels. On cars.
overpopulation is a killer of quality of life ,when will we learn.
@@echooutdoors2149 Our potholes bend wheels on tanks
Steve's editing is great. And it works so well with your writing it's a joy to watch. Thanks for all the great videos!
Oh shit man that's the quietest sounding most boring bike that I've had the misfortune of seeing of late but saying that it looks as though it is quite comfortable to ride but as it is so quite I would be a little afraid of falling asleep. Why can't these manufacturers put some kick arse rebellion back in bike design before petrol engines are band from our roads for ever. The thought of having to ride around on a hair dryer really makes me feel sad inside.
Loved this man :)
It's funny to see your comment here because I remember loving your video on how worthless the motorcycle journalism industry has become haha
I think you guys should do a shadetree/ryan F9 video!
I love Steve. His edits make me chuckle.
And now?
What made you change your mind? 😂
What are you talking about, Mr Ryan Fortnine? That bike sounds sick! ... Literally
Ohhh you need to listen to yamaha and hond 250cc engined then, those are death already
@@fabriciogoulart4564 they are dead meanwhile the 110cc and 125cc engines are burried already
the quality of your videos are top notch, and if you are getting funding from a company, at least its a company that strives for honesty.
Every dang video is 5 yrs ago! Lol
Ryan... I need a new video .
I really thought this was Ryan's company. He has the brains and swag to look like it plus he's really
Likable. Like if Tom Hanks had balls. If john wick and tom hanks had a love child?
You get Ryan. Lol what a dream job.
I appreciate Ryan on the payroll og Fortnine
Ryan is "The Man". One of the reasons I buy product at Fort 9, because of his honest opinion, and his humor.
Never change, Ryan.
Not sure why this popped up on my suggestions 6 years later, but this is gold. Love your wit... keep riding and making videos and just generally staying awesome!
If you ever lose your left hand, you won't be able to say a word. The folks in oncoming traffic are still wondering how you know them. Just found your channel (suggestion from other Canadian moto junkie) and really enjoy the content. Informative and entertaining.
My daughter -19 was studying physics in ottawa 2 days before moving into 2nd year she decided to take a year break , wow … (we were almost packed)
And I made her watch this video .I’m 49, there are very few moments when your kids will agree on anything , but this video is really GOOD ! And she also loved it.
Thank YOU Ryan9 or Ryanf9 or just Ryan.
Stop trying to live life for your daughter. Helicopter parent.
Ryan: Hey Steve whenever I rev the BMW can you make it sound better?
Steve: Anything for you
Also Steve: 2:27, 6:55, 11:21
What IS THE SONG AT 2:27?! I KNOW IT'S DEEP IN MY BRAIN SOMEWHERE
@@justcallmedan301 hamster dance
@@tundraman3664 THANK YOU
@@justcallmedan301 I dont know what I just watched, but I do know I'm hammered, and this is trippy as balls. I wish you a good April or something.
I lost it at the ScatMan rev.
The thing about why Ryan is great?
He is honest about the bike, with every sense of the word. Honest, unlike some other youtubers who just COMPLAIN.
Just think how many bike reviewers you hear say that this ??? cc bike isn't as powerful as his supercharged liter bike. This $???? bike isn't as luxurious and comfortable as his goldwing etc.
Time and time again, what I like about Ryan is that when he reviews bikes, he reviews it for the people who would ACTUALLY BUY that bike, not for someone who doesn't plan to own it, and who just enjoys doing wheelies going 200kmph.
It's also amazing that it's Ryan himself who writes his script, it just goes to show that he really puts in the effort.
However, Ryan is just 1/2 of FortNine. The editing, whole cinematography shebang with FortNine is really what completes the entire experience.
Either of them would be great on their own. But together, we got this hollywood esque youtube videos for free.
I love your unedited commentary it's very refreshing keep up the good work. It sounds like your work for an awesome company!
"Steve, make this downshift sounds awesome"
*scatman* Almost choked on my drink, wow.
One year later, same... :P
Hello from Newfoundland ! Keep up the great work man, content is quality.
Cheers
I subscribed after watching this because not only did it make me crack tf up but it reminded me that all the other gear reviews I've ever watched have always ended in a neutral or positive outcome whereas you will always give me the truth because it seems like you actually care about keeping riders safe with products that they would enjoy.
Keep up the great content man!
Just stumbled across this vid after a few years of watching your videos off and on. Now I’m hooked. Good on ya’ man. Much motorcycle love from Colorado, Ryan. Ride on!
You're doing a very fine job of these reviews mate, well done I'm always entertained and am looking forward to the next one.Thanks for telling something about yourself.
Huge props to the editor once again. Making the already good video even better.
Great video. Initially I wasn't sure about the new 'style' but it's definitely growing on me. Keep up the good work 👍
Hey just wanted to say that I really enjoy all your product reviews as I found that you don't sugar coat it and just give an honest opinion most other people don't say anything bad about the product because they sell it or they got it as freebie for a good review. So..
THANK YOU FORT NINE !!!!
At the end of the video i could finally tilt my head upright again.
lmao
I have liked your videos from Canada but until today I didn't know Fort Nine sold motorcycle products and when I tried to order something I found out y'all don't sell to Texas only Canada.
I bought some gloves from Fortnine for an American member of a forum who posted a gripe that he couldn't get the specific glove he wanted in the U.S.A.
I was happy to buy them on my account and get paid back online by a very grateful rider.
I have always enjoyed your rants and reviews. Nice peek into your background. Thanks again!
Great video and lots of truth about motorcycling journalism and the lack of integrity in a lot of articles/videos. What drives my crazy, (no pun intended) is when it seems like all comparison videos between models end up saying something like: "So which bike is the better bike? Which one is for you? It comes down to what you are looking for and your style. You can't go wrong with either." Hey, thanks for wasting my time reading/watching your comparison to come away with the feeling that I just watched an intense action movie and both the hero and the villain died, and the whole thing was one big sucking black hole of my time. Time that I will never get back! Thank you, Ryan. Love what you do!
Steve audio editing FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great editing, Steve!
Hands down, Fortnine is the best motorcycle channel on youtube because of you. Watched all of your videos. Also, Fortnine is the best online retailer, I literally buy everything from them... tires, exhaust, boots, jackets, pants, helmets, all gear, I literally just bought Rev'it armoured jeans there today. Probably have spent over $8000 in the last year on their website. Happy to be supporting a Canadian company, especially in this economy. Thanks guys!
I feel like a site impaired cave hermit for not having come across this channel until now. I remember Canada's Motorcycle but had no idea you have re-branded. I am loving your content, new and old. I grew up in the Fraser Valley and have been riding motorcycles since I was a wee lad. Very cool to see local content. Ryan and Steve you are both doing a great job. Extra kudos to both for overcoming the disadvantage of not attending SFU or UBC ;).
Honest as always 👌
Phantom Rides Who knew that this thing would end up costing as much as a Ninja 300's on road price 😂
6:58 good job steve,i lauph so hard with this one
I used to buy stuff from Canada's Motorcycle. In fact it is still bookmarked as such in my browser. However, being in the Quebec Townships and very close to the US border, I found I was buying most stuff from Revzilla, thanks to Anthony's " Watch decide and ride" videos. But since re branding to Fortnine and with all of Ryan's videos, I am buying my most of my stuff here now. In fact UPS is on its way to my door as I write this! Good work and fantastic production quality. Almost a million subscribers, awesome!
Fortnine made the smartest and best decision by hiring Ryan. He is the reason why I watch and purchase things he reviews. Straight forward and honest about everything. No bias what so ever. Keep posting so we can keep enjoying and learning.
You and James May would make a brilliant youtubeduo lol
We need more real motorcycle journalists like Ryan
we need more ̶m̶o̶t̶o̶r̶c̶y̶c̶l̶e̶ journalist like Ryan :D
Ok, this video was really informative about f9. I've really enjoyed your videos, ad will continue to do so. I like the honesty and humility of the reviews.You guys (especially Ryan) are credits to Moto-journalism.
love the hand gestures especially the enthusiastic "air ball grabbing" when reminiscing the awesomeness of adventure riding with his past toys.

Whoops! RyanF9 is accumulating too much gear. Great problem to have haha. ~ NeilF9
FortNine haha indeed, one I wish I had!
They made a wise choice in you Ryan... I love seeing someone your age so intelligent. Your reviews are some of the best I have seen regardless of the product.
Now we need to more abut Steve... Great Job! I see the comment regularly that this is the best Motorcycle related content on YT but after nearly exhausting your library I am convinced you have the best "Do-It-Yourself" content on the Inter-Web! I watch everything from Auto-Centric to Xylophone Repair and Race/All Terrain/Off Road/4X4 to DIY of every topic and I do not see the consistent high quality and creative thoughtfulness of F9. Nobody, Nowhere, Knowhow. I will shut up now and start at the top. Thanks for the great Videos and for sharing your talents.
Most people forget, the company fortnine are extremely generous to allow Ryan to do what he does...especially with product reviews😂. But then again Fortnine is extremely privileged to have Ryan.
Also, I'd love to see you on another road trip with your dad or a best friend. Two F800s to the middle of nowhere. I loved that series.
I think my dad would like to see that too... ever since I got him on a V-Strom he's been bugging me for a "sequel" haha. ~RF9
Wicked video! Indeed, Ryan is the face of F9. I love the fact that he's honest and speaks his mind. Very few companies "allow" that. Usually it's all "rainbows and sunshine" with other "reviews"...
I used to buy a lot of my motorcycle accessories from the US... eBay, twisted throttle, etc... I now buy pretty much exclusively from F9... Fantastic Canadian retailer... Ryan, great videos... You have help made choosing accessories all that much easier...
I grew up in the near vicinity of this shoot - basically shot between Collins Bay (the marina he points at is where my dad bought my first ATV) - the west end of Kingston - through Millhaven, Bath (passed by the Tragically Hip's Bathouse studio), Conway, Adolphustown and he would have been nearing the Glenora Ferry at the end of the shoot.
Churches and corners remind me of the specific locations where I spun out (cars) in different snowstorms and driving mistakes.
The long view of Amhurst Island, and Adolphus Reach across to Prince Edward County - the opening of the Bay of Quinte brings back my loyalist roots.
It was quite interesting that the editing and jumpcuts chronologically 'moved' us back and forth down that stretch of road as they patched together the conversation.
Fortnine is definitely a a better name.
Ryan your hilarious mate love the show , from Australia
Thanks for asking the questions that I've often wondered about, and that others have asked! What lovely roads you have there; here in the UK, they are mostly terrible!
Great JOB STEVE!!! Love how well and entertaining you talk about products
you’re a good dude ryan. nice vid
greetings from Muskoka, just bought my front tire from Fortnine
What part of Muskoka, im in Port Carling, we should go for a ride!
gravenhurst
Your the best Ryan ,you make me smile ,informative and extremely entertaining ,keep it up. Be safe 😀
Hey man, thanks for sharing. love the videos and its great to have you just putting yourself out there.
“steve, make this downshift sound really good” i completely died when steve tossed in the scatman
I support Fortnine in large part because of RF9's reviews and content in general. Hat's off to the company for having the integrity to allow Ryan to review products honestly. That is the only path to true customer loyalty. On a complimentary note, I've found the website and ordering process seamless. Sometimes they don't carry what I'm looking for, but hey it's Canada and how can you have everything our diverse but small population would want. Anyway - good job Ryan and Fortnine.
Im a newbie to the channel and riding. I love the channel. Its similar to regular car reviews but for bikes. So my two fav youtube channels are with ryan and brian.
Hilarious!!
It's somehow satisfying to hear that you're doing something you love, and one realizes that because you love it you're good at it. Rarely is a review, a rant, or a top5 as fun and informative as yours are!
You deserve a much bigger audience!
Gosh i envy those empty roads lol, i have a question for you Ryan, as you went to university in Montreal "la belle province" est ce que tu parles Français ??? 😉 cheers from Bali
The main language of instruction at McGill is English
*walks into room containing Ryan*. "Hey Ryan FortNine is here." - Me
The beginnings of one of my favorite youtubers, learning from him, from the beginning.
I just subscribed after watching this video and listening to your story, you literally made it to the top of my list!
Hahaha fucking lost it at scatman 😂😂😂😂
immascatmaaan
'Motovlogging'... They all turn eventually... mwahahahahaha haha HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Thanks for inspiring me to respond to an old video, and seek another old video from this channel.
On the comment about motorcycle press, I've seen some things online lately, especially what seems like a group of people who review motorcycles on RUclips, and I'll say it here before I find the video you mentioned about motorcycle press after this one.
Anyway, what I have noticed is this: There is a particular group of motorcyclists doing video reviews of the same model motorcycles shortly after they happen to be released in that given country (Neither Canadia nor 'Murrcah). They all at least try to act like they're giving totally independent reviews, but upon watching the videos from more than one of these channels, you'll quickly start noticing it's these same six or eight people collaborating to group-ride that model motorcycle at the same time, before doing some alone-time for their channels as well. There will be follow-car and/or drone footage of their group rides, and you can just about piece the whole thing together from one channel to another. Each of them makes sure to open their face shield or remove their helmet at a red light or something, to demonstrate they are actually riding. But it's the same group in every video.
And then they all basically say 90% the exact same things. And typically, when the motorcycle is lower in power, their comments about wanting to be able to go faster sound just as insulting as each other against the people who do want to take their motorcycles on the highway. It's almost, dare I say, scripted. So I expect to hear similar on that other video.
Just found that vid by Fluke. I agree with the guy before me. Ryan's no-nonsense, no-BS approach instills confidence. Always entertaining vids makes the brand stand out and pop to your head when you need something bike related. I buy everything from F9 (as long as they sell it).
As much as I love motorcycling I just don't consume any of the mainstream print or online media concerning bikes - it's just too beige and flat and is so obviously constrained by funding and hospitality. Much prefer videos like these and creative media that's interesting and there's a bike involved and I can form my own opinion rather than having the most revenue-generating product forced down my throat. Another good vid Ryan and Steve! But maybe lose the red highlight thing now...
Sooo... when do we get to see the famous Steve? :D
Ryan your first bike was a Honda XR100 when you where 13yrs old? ME TOO bro! Rode it for about 15yrs, (way past time for a 28yr old 5'8" 200ib rider) but I was having fun. Then rented a Harley FatBoy on vacation in Miami, FL to cruise, then a Harley Super Glide in Louisiana. Now at 38yrs old I just bought my first street legal motorcycle a new 2012 Yamaha Raider S with 1 mile in Raven Black. It will be delivered to my house tomorrow around 4pm. Cool vids, drive safe.
Talk about dream job!
I absolutely love this guy and this channel, every video is a gem unbelievable
Ah, the vlogger's dream: Get someone else to edit for you...
I love physics and science stuff, a moto vlog about quantum mechanics and relativity would be great
How refreshing!! You would 100% master an online motorcycle shop with only the good things to be had. Speaks for FortNine!
I had heard that you had free rein to say what you wanted about the products that you review, but it's nice to hear it out of your mouth. I do like to point people to you when they have moto gear/parts questions, and are looking for unbiased advice.
Thank you for all that you do!
Lost my shit at the desiigner lmao
tee jay "ah that sounds great!" Hahaha
duke390 or bmw310 who is the winner?
praveen saji 390 but not in europe since you can't ride one with an A2 license
praveen saji i'd say the duke but to be honest the mt 07 is the better keeper
Both pieces of shit, but the Duke 390 wins hands down in terms of performance
Wolfgang Rembeck of course the mt07 is better than the Duke390 / bmw310
Duke 390!
Bonus points for Steve and using Scatman John right at the end!
LOOOOL. Steve is the funniest.
Ryan, these are really fun to watch. Thank you for the awesome content.
What has India and TVS done to you?
He's probably refering that TVS makes bikes for BMW
They won't make a competing apache!
As someone who just bought a TVS, this.
And I thought Fortnine was to capture the misspelled ‘Fortnite’!. Great piece. Keep it up.
Gotta love Fortnine for the integrity in reporting the products.
You have been putting out really good stuff lately not that the older stuff was crap but that bmw review might of been the best bike review i ever seen.
MannyFz07 the Versus 300 video is literally the best motorcycle review there ever was in the history of anything.
talk some triumph sometime, please
Marlon did an honest review of a Bonneville T100. very Funny; NSFW; link ruclips.net/video/LOY2iTf2GQ8/видео.html
Haha, that was awesome
Glad you approved. Check out the other uploads he did and are all equally good. can't wait for his next upload
6:55 😂 wtf even was that?
Hey Ryan, I enjoyed this insight into your job! I also appreciate FortNine and love the products they offer to us Canadians. Greetings from Alberta.
The only RUclips channel I've ever seen that doesn't beg for likes and subscription at the end of the video. Plus, great videos!
