Crossing Canada's Only Desert on a Yamaha TW200 - 2018 Review
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 июн 2024
- Yes, Canada has a desert. Sort of. It's actually pretty sweet and unbeknownst to the rest of the world. Just like our desserts, then. We partner up with a new ol' friend named TW200 (or 'T-Dubs') for an adventure across the desert to see if she’s still got that zest and spirit of adventure that she had back in the day.

Please stop convincing me to buy motorcycles I don’t need.
No such thing as a motorcycle you don't need!
The mathematical equation for the amount of bikes you need is expressed as n+1, where n is the amount of bikes you currently have.
The tw200 is the only bike you need.
The issue is, you NEED a TW200.
I feel like TW200's just went up in price lol
This is easily the highest quality motorcycle content on the internet
Without a doubt
without a doubt
Higher quality than most anything on American television
@@marksikorsky5692 What's television?
He does very nice videos but there another guy which does really great stuff too, (Adventure Oz/Cross training enduro skills (same guy, 2 channels)) Here is an example video link: ruclips.net/video/LRQyEBY5YjQ/видео.html
You'll tell me...
As a former Yamaha TW200 owner, this video is golden. I regretted selling the bike the day I sold it. This bike was more like having a loyal Labrador retriever than it was having a motorcycle. Well done FortNine, well done!!!
I know how you feel, I've sold some motorcycles and wondered a year or two later WHY? I didn't really need the money and now I really wish I had my beloved bike back. I felt like I had deserted a old dear friend. 😟
I sold my TW200 and totally regret it now… maybe I need another?
@@ihoffland You probably do. I'm in the market for my first tw.
@@Sheevnessjust got my first tw last week. 2023 from the show room floor. 🍻 cheers to a great lil off trail brike
Yeah, I've had my TW125 for ages, and I've grown out of it. But I can not get myself to sell it. I'm half convinced I will keep this bike until either of us falls apart.
How in the F*CK are you guys putting out better content with higher production value than anything I have ever seen from traditional media? This is 5 years old at this point and watching it today still feels like a revelation. Truly superb work guys.
This is one of the best videos I have ever watched. If anything was going to convince this broken down 70 year old Man to purchase just one more dirt bike before the end this video is it. I have yearned for a TW 200 To explore Arizona deserts For the past 5 years. Sadly I know My patched together spine would not tolerate it. You have earned yourself another subscriber. Off road forever my friend! 👍
God bless you, Brother!
👍👍
But you CAN get a TW and ride around a bit and get back on two wheels as much as you can tolerate it.
Get a cheap wrangler and modify it you can bring the cooler tunes and still get alot of places just slower. Theres so much to see go out and do it. Dont let regret set it
@@michaelduarte4041 not to worry, way ahead of you. 2012 Wrangler years back and currently a Honda Pioneer 700. 😉👍
This was a short movie,
not a RUclips video... Bravo!
one-of-us this guy is good
this guy makes movie videos. he's awesome
"I've had farts with more compression " 😂you had me rolling on the floor 😂
That one killed me hahaha
Goofffysss ahhh😆🤠🤣🤣🤡
He got me with: "And a rear tire with so much grip, you could bumpstart it in a lake"
it's true though, you could probably just stick some wood in the TW and it's gonna burn it
Damn! I'm an English teacher and I want to commend you on the writing in your videos. Your scripts are written with intellect and wordplay that makes me want to rethink my stereotypes about RUclipsrs. Your vocabulary and precise diction reflect a tonne of skill, and your verbal control is studied and calming - a Bob Ross in a world of Sponge Bobs. Thank you for elevating the form and not underestimating your audience. It's downright literary what you're achieving here!
"... with its lean mixture and its 400lb farm wife capacity.." Oh yeah.. he's a real poet. e_e
@@valadq632 poetry is often crass and lewd. Most folks don't see that side because they get hung up on how it's presented in school. A blunt force use of imagery isn't a discredit to his other writing. At any rate, he isn't screaming in your face to get views. That subtlety of delivery deserves some recognition as it's rare for the form.
He's full of shit.
Ha... I love it!! "A Bob Ross in a world of Sponge Bobs"
The comment I want to say but I didn’t know how. Thank you, from an English-as-a-fifth-language person. I appreciate his skill so much. You should use these in your classes
I feel like I'm stealing something while watching these videos without paying.
👍
It’s so important to do what you can put your heart into.
Fort nine’s videos are always so wonderful. I wonder who he works for, he sometimes refers to his boss. Wonder if that’s the wife lol
@@Qasibr He works for FortNine.ca
This is just the RUclips channel for a larger motorcycle accessories retailer.
Make your next motorcycle gear purchase from their site to support them in that case.
@@agentgfh
Alas they don't ship outside Canada, I'm in Australia
It's not a motorcycle review. It's art.
Your videos constantly amaze me.
Damn that hits the spot.."Sure I'm not gonna get there fast, but I'll get there"..whew life lesson right there
Well said lol
Tortoise and the hare! 😂
Years ago while hiking in some castle walls in Portugal, I've seen this beautiful scenery, amazing garden with an excellent view. Checked I could jump the 2-3m wall, to a 50 cm2 gap and get to a trail it was just there. unfortunately, I'm not as strong as I was when younger, the height of the jump was too much on my legs, and went rolling down the hill, and nearly killed myself.
I got still to this beautiful park with a beautiful view.
then found that if I would of went around the wall there was a gate, open for all.
."Sure I'm not gonna get there fast, but I'll get there" . learned that lesson that day, no need to jump the wall, just take your time and go around.
Every enduro bike ever is what that is.
I bought my TW200 because of this video. I still come back and watch it occasionally as the cinematography is enthralling.
"braking requires the foresight of a retirement planner..." lol
At least it's not "clunker class" (drum braked front end)
Ben Haynes it used to have a front drum, I think it was into the 2000s before they gave it a front disc
@@noneyabusiness3253 Correct, I don't remember any Tee Dubs sold in Aus with disc (80's/90's)
That's not a problem for me, I ride a Ural now.
Like the back brake of my Dr 200se Just touch it at speed on the hwy and the thing locks up gos in to a skid for 20 feet then totally sideways then you try and straight it up go for front brakes real easy and try for the back brakes again..Its Homicide men Hahaha
In conversation, I bet this guy frequently hears "I've never thought about it that way."
Also, Aneesh Shivanekar is a beast of a cinematographer.
BuildingCenter they really are a perfect duo
Three cheers for Aneesh Shivanekar!
Aneesh deserves a raise. Can you imagine how cold it must've been to film some of these segments?
+1 for Aneesh
Poetry. Riding art. You name it. Watching this in 2022 and dang, Ryan and the Fortnine team sure are on a class of their own. Keep it up!
In 1977, got my first Yamaha 80 enduro at 13 years old and put hundreds of miles on the prairies and foothills of Alberta. This video allowed me to feel the cold air, freezing water and the warmth of the campfire at the last mile of the day. I now live in Southern AZ on the border of Mexico with my KLR 650. Thank you for taking me back to those days where all I cared about was "getting there" and wondering if I was actually going to survive.
That white or yellow MX80, the two stroke one? If so, I had that bike too.
Those "no trespassing" signs in the end gave me a sad feeling about the world getting smaller... Guys, this video is pure poetry on 2 wheels, thank you for doing it.
Edit: Wow, never thought I'd have these many likes and a discussion. Fellas, I understand the reason behind these signs, sure you'd better be safe than sorry about your land, my statement is purely based on a romantic view on the world. I love trail hiking, exploring, and I'm someone who just likes to be there and leave nothing but footprints, but I can't speak for the rest of the world. It's just that lately there's less and less of these places to go and people to care for them.
If I had a big land , I would allow mc and bikes on a road through it. Keeping riders on it makes it not grow over
im from Ontario Canada and fucking every where is private property and farmers fields.. :(
Stephanie Jonathan yeah sledding up near timmins is rough now even compared to two or three years ago
@@stopglobalswarming Just wait until they crash and sue you. Take your land lol.
Lip Rippers only volunteers then if people are going to be douchebags
I like how when I'm watching your videos, it feels like you're sharing something you found, instead of giving me a lecture.
Good way of putting it
Having ridden sport bikes my whole life, I cannot say why, but I had always wanted a TW200.
Two years ago I happened upon a 2011 TW with only 500km on the clock selling for a song.
I bought it and have never regretted it.
She now has almost 8000km on the clock and most of that has been bashing through the bushes and just loving every slow purposefully eaten up kilometer.
Your video just highlights everything I love about my own bike.
And around town it is actually not to bad, as you mentioned, they corner beautifully thanks to those monster tyres and are pretty nimble to throw around.
To Ryan and the crew behind the scenes, thanks for an awesome video, and an amazing channel.
Keep up the amazing work guys!
It's been said again and again, but it still needs to be said. The greatest videos ever. The scenes, the scripts, the music, pure gold. This one moves to the top of a very impressive list. Absolutely amazing
I was hoping to post some classy, erudite comment, but I'm still snickering like a schoolboy at your "I've had farts with higher compression than this engine" comment. Eloquence and erudition must always bow before the good fart joke.
I worked as a bailiff. A few of us entered a courthouse elevator, along with "civilians". During the course of the ride, one of the bailiffs activated a "fart machine" - need I say more??
I have contributed russian subtitles to share the video with my friends, so please accept it if you don't mind! Keep up the good work!
" you see Ivan, if subtitles are in communism, other Ivan's can read to! "
Oy blin, pawel can't read. Oh well...
Good job, Ivan! I can't read Russian, but "Russian read me".

Old video, but, for whatever reason, you were born for this role. From way down South in Texas, I’ve been binge watching your videos non-stop. KTM 1290 SA-R, picking your brain, as well as everyone at F9. Biking is something innumerable, something apolitical, irreligious, completely shareable. No matter what you ride, it is something uniting. It is freedom. Thanks to you and your team for what y’all do.
Kinda weird seeing Kamloops in the background of such a cinematic, well made video. Probably the best work to come out of Kamloops 👍👌
It's my " back yard"..
This is the best tw200 review in the 3 decades of its existence
*no one is afraid to drop these things....*
*OFF A CLIFF*
at about the 10th time watching this I bought a TW200. Took it for its first ride and I have to say I am in love. It can go through some crazy terrain that no other bike (maybe besides a rokon) could do. Way different riding style than my motorcross bike I used to have. Me with my wife as passenger plowed through deep sand, mud, steep hills etc. I couldn't believe it!
I got one too bc of this video! Not a split second of regret.
I'm afraid I'm going to follow y'all steps 😂
Yes I've seen this, yes I'll watch it again
Premiere is a solution for which there is no problem.
@Ross Bourne how is a smartphone a solution to a non existing problem??? Clock, GPS, Internet, Camera, Light And you can call who ever you want where ever you are. smartphones are the solution to so many problems
@@moomoomoomuu i agree with you, premiere is just ridiculous, i wish it didn't exist
@@moomoomoomuu you can call everyone from everywhere?
So I'm guessing you are not from germany... here around my hometown I have realy huge problems at calling people on the mobile cause there are many spots wihout connection.. we somehow live in the digital stoneage xD
Ross Bourne in what world I’d premier “progress”?
Just because someone has an idea, doesn’t automatically mean it was a good one. Not everything serves a useful purpose. Some ideas make things better, that’s progress. Others serve no purpose other than to irritate.
Ross Bourne perhaps I did misunderstand something, my apologies. I just didn’t think it was a very good comparison, in my opinion.
The point I was trying to make was that while not NECESSARY (since we could do the things befofe), a cellphone was at least very CONVENIENT for the user. And I would agree that that is progress.
However, I fail to see how the the premier feature is either necessary or convenient. It offers nothing to the viewer or the content creator.
Most people hate the constant barrage of ads they get, but st least that generates revenue for the content creator allowing them to produce better content and in some cases make a living and dedicate themselves more to their product. So it serves a purpose. I just fail to see what the plus side of this feature is.
That’s true, this is objective and it’s just my opinion, for what little it’s worth. But as viewers we should express our enjoyment or irritation with features as it provides feedback to those providing the service. It seems that here is a considerable amount of people for whom this is rather annoying.
Good lord, i came for a motorcycle, I left enlightened.
2:07: “...where the sidewall lugs grip like a herd of Mountain Goats.”
This is poetry. 🤙🏽
I've never had wanderlust like I have now after this video. I'm sellin the sport bike and the hatchback, buyin a tw200 and a pickup
Did you ever did it?
@@marsan150282 nah, between the pandemic and becoming a dad... Maybe in another lifetime lol
I just bought a pickup and I'm considering this bike too. Also X2 on the dad thing lol
started with a truck, got my dub, and sold my truck for a Honda Fit lol
Best part of the TW is you don't need a pickup. It will take you to the trails, through them, and back home with ease.
I trained on a TW200 for my license test. Hearing this engine again brought back memories.
And, as always with these videos, it was a huge pleasure to watch.
Ditto
Yup, my encounter with the TW200 was my motorcycle safety training course too, awesome little bike.
I can't remember the last time I commented on a RUclips video. But, dammit Ryan, you and the team at F9 stun me more and more with each release.
Cinematography and music choices that remind me of the finest days of Top Gear, plus insight and profundity.
This is what motorcycling (and gearhead/petrolhead culture in general) needs. Thank you, Ryan+FortNine. Don't stop.
on point chief !
When one sees a F9 video that’s already a year old, it’s still time to watch.
This one will never get old. It's not just a simple bike review. From the eloquent narration to the humor to the beautiful cinematography to the seemless editing, it's art.
God rest Stan Rogers, thanks for years of amazing videos Ryan and the F9 guys!
Just wanted to say as much love as Ryan gets with these videos and completely deserves, the rest of the people who are involved in the production, recording and post production need much love too. Great work!
He said in a previous video that there are only 2 people on his entire team. Him and one other.
There's no huge team behind Ryan. How about instead of lecturing random people about who "needs love" -- like a school teacher asking if we said thank you -- you do a little research?
I live near his shop in a side alley in North Vancouver British Columbia....I can attest, there is no crew - it's him and a one other gent. They do amazing content to be sure! One of the few RUclipsr's I check the "bell" for and love it when I see an notification they've posted something new.
@@davecarsley8773 meeoow!
@@davecarsley8773 😅😅😅😅Damn you didn't need to roast him
The TW200 and it's better brother the XT250 are the most underrated leisurely exploration bikes that most beginners didn't know they needed. I most often see them on the back of pickups and trailers of those who are retired and touring the National Parks system as a way to explore the terrain once they get to their destination for a night or three. I have an Xt225 for about seven years as a backup bike to teach others on and stroll to the store (85+ mpg and cooler than a moped) but ended up riding it over my other bikes many Summer nights because it's just more fun to relax on. If you want to shred the hardest these aren't your bikes. But we forget that we're not all pro dirt racers and some, even many of us just want to cruise and chill :)
I'm going to add the DR200 to this list as well. Yet another great bike that you only ever see on the back of RV's (if you see them at all).
Love my XT250! I've been riding for 15 years and its the most fun I've had on 2 wheels.
As an XT225 (Serow in JDM form) owner, I fully agree with Chaz.
Agreed! And don't forget the VanVan200.
Guys..you keep raising your own bar as usual. Super job, thanks much. I think i will be cancelling my sat tv subscription soon if you start producing material like this on a daily basis. As for the TW, thinking about rekindling an old friendship. Cheers
Excellent work, Ryan F9!This may be my favorite video on RUclips. I always desired to own a TW and I finally bought one a year ago. No regrets whatsoever. The best part? I paid cash for it with the money I saved by quitting smoking after 8 months or so. Damn fine trade! TW200 is 2 wheeled happiness and Fortnine nailed it with this video! "It's for going OFF TRAIL" Goddamn right!!
This guy should be working for Yamaha. I’m 61 and after watching this, I went out and bought a new one. I like it a lot.
smart move my friend
When I was around 10 years old, My Father took us to watch a strange Australian documentary when a guy went around Australia on a motorcycle. It was 1970 and I have no idea what the bike was.
The venue was not a cinema and generally hosted concerts. Why my Father took the family to watch this, I have no idea, maybe it was free?
This video, Your video, actually reminds me of that documentary, the narrator I think spoke a little slower than you do. Good job, great video!!!
Well done, guys!
I admire your commitment to production quality!
-T
Bret, you and Ryan have the best motorcycle channels on RUclips, hands down!
Brett seems to have good taste regarding RUclips channels, I'm not surprised
I wish you guys could get your hands on an Indian ftr 1200,would love to see that review video.
@@ADVRaiderKTM Another good one is Adventure Oz/Cross training enduro skills (same guy)
Honestly, one of the greatest bikes of all time. I have had two over the years. Just simple, economical fun.
This is by far my favorite moto-vehicle on youtube. I watch it at least once a month.
This wasn't just a video for us all to watch... it was an EXPERIENCE! Thank you for sharing this journey with us! Your talent and hard work is inspiring!
i just got home from a night shift's work, and i made coffee when i saw the thumbnail, thinking i would enjoy the usual superb content that is Fortnine. just to know i have to wait 36hrs.
So sad! You pay for a content... wait, you don't actually pay, it's fucking free. What tha hell do you feel entitled to act that way then?
@@nothingbutsorrow4507 Maybe some people use youtube to watch videos instantly, if i want to watch something that have to wait X amounts of days/hours i can watch a tv show or a series instead.
@@nothingbutsorrow4507 Relax, it's a comment section, i'm just commenting. In no way i felt entitled to anything.
It’s not entitlement, it’s the unnecessary tease. The content creator will post when they post. That’s perfectly fair. It’s this format of teasing when not posting that’s annoying. That has nothing to do with paying.
I’ve watched this at least four times in the last two years and it hasn’t gotten old.
Those first opening scenes brought back wonderful memories of the road between Kamloops and Ashcroft. The scenery is incredible. Thank you for this great video.
Thanks.. Now I want to quit my job, buy a tw200 and move to some desert....
Don't forget the snake bite kit. And scorpion repellent. And water. And fire starters...

I just finished my MSF course this weekend on a tw200!
Now go out and buy one
Nice! When I did my own course back in 2017 I was lucky enough to pick the only TW200 they had. Love that little thing and I hope I get to own one someday.
lrdefender1690 I used to maintain those bikes. You guys probably had rebels and nighthawks a plenty as well
I just finished my MSF today on a TW200
Perfect bike for learning
Me too! 2019. I still want one ):
how on earth do you manage to make me all emotional on a friggin' motorbike review? damn.
Stan Rogers was one of my Father's favorite musicians. Thanks for the reference!
This is not just any RUclips clip. This is an artistic treasure. Thanks Ryan and the Fort9 team. 🇦🇺
Beautiful scenery and featuring one of the greatest motorcycles of all time. I live on a farm and I've used my TW to check fences and herd cows, so I can attest to the benefits of that slow walk first gear. It is also brings a smile to my face every time I get on it. It is so fun that lately I've been leaving my CBR at home and taking the TW, so long as I don't have to get where I'm going in any sort of a hurry. Glad to see the TW getting the respect it deserves after 30 years.
Are the cows faster?
@@usernamemykel Cows have one CowPower!
Two years later, and I've found this clip - beautifully done and of film quality. Here, in Australia -a land of wide open spaces, adventure is readily available. My gf (still on her L's has just bought a DR 200 and we are about to set off on a dirt ride. I want her to watch this vid and be inspired.
2 years later, how was the trip?
From the commentary to the videography this is film festival winning material. Beautifully done, with humor in all the right places.
"400lb farmers wife capacity"
Did he really say that lol?
Shade in the summer, warm in the winter. it's a canadian thing.
That was a review? I have never in my life had a desire to own a TW200 and now you have me fighting the urge to hit Cycle Trader and eBay. That was a sales video.
Your videos are always to notch. Your narration and the video production are amazing. Thanks for that.
I liked this video. The narrator has my kind of humor. I was 74 years old and I found a single track trail that I wanted to go on. At the time I had a 94 XT600, so I gave it a shot. After I got that high-geared top-heavy bike about 1.5 miles into the trail, I decided to turn around before either the trail, or the bike killed me. As I was turning around, it tipped over. I did not crash, I just got off-balance. It took everything that I had to lift that thing back up.
I researched a lot of trail bikes after that, and I decided to go for a TW200. I live in South Eastern Idaho, and I had to travel to Denver Colorado to find me a 2022 TW200. I went down that same trail with this new 200, and easily made it past where I had issues with my 600, but a little further on I found a scary down-hill, and I decided that I would come back when I had geared down the bike and had someone with me. Well, I have since then added a decent skid plate, handlebar guards, a larger rear sprocket, and o-ring chain, a luggage rack, a much better padded seat, handlebar risers, added 1" to the rear brake lever to give me more leverage to the brakes, and a much better tool kit. The supplied tool kit is garbage. The guy that I was going to take with me broke his ankle on his bike, so I will most likely do this trail alone. I do always carry a Personal Locater Beacon with me, because I always ride alone. I am now 75 years old, and I am looking forward to going on this trail.
I just wanted to add, that I am not worried about the down-hill, but when off-roading it is always prudent to never go down a hill that you can't climb back up if the need arises. I figure it this way, I am only 2 miles from the trailhead where this hill is located, and if it is unclimbable by myself, I can walk back to the truck and recruit some help. So far, (700 miles), I love this bike. It has been years since I had a bike with this little horsepower, ( comparable to a Yamaha 175 enduro), but so far it has went where I pointed it.
Perfect example of the old saying "You don't stop riding because you get old, you get old because you stop riding." Kudos to you, Dave! Be safe and stay young. (You have 19 yrs on me)
@@PineyRider This is a bit of an update. I am now 76, and the TW has 1,700 miles on it. I installed Bradley's rear disc brake. I just could not get the air bled out of it, so I found and purchased 2 banjo bolts with built-in bleeders. Problem solved!!! I normally drive a harvest truck in the fall, but this year, I am going to ride my TW, and my 2022 Polaris quad. I tried a tad bigger rear sprocket, and I was cruising at 35 instead of 45, so I put the stock gearing back on.
I had a little problem on a ride last fall. I was going up a very challenging road, and there was a 3 inch wide part of the trail that would have got me by a large rock. I got out of shape and hit the large rock. The TW went over backwards so fast that I was totally unprepared. The bike fell over and ended up on my leg. I could not get into a position that I could lift it off of my leg. Thank goodness that day I wore my Carr-Hart slip-on mini boots. I was able to slide my foot out of the boot and get out from under the bike. It was during the week, and on a trail that was not heavily used because it is so rugged. Like I said, I had my PLB with me, but I really did not want to call out search and rescue just to lift the bike off my leg. I am soooooo happy that I was able to extricate myself.
I took my G/F up and showed her where it happened. She said that I was nuts for even trying. She was most likely correct, but that has never stopped me before. LOL That trail that I talked about before I still have not tried it. It has me spooked just a little.
I went down a hill that I could not go back up one time in Nevada on my XT600. I went as far as I could down the canyon, and walked out. I went back with friends and sawed a few trees out of the way so that I could get through, then we coma longed the bike up a vertical 20 foot cliff. I was much younger at that time. LOL
I still love this little bike. I have done some very rocky trails around where I live, and that little bike is like a tank. I actually rode it just about 2 miles today. It was so cold, and I wimped out. Sad..........but true!
Brought me to tears. I once had a 1996 TW200 but had to sell it when I moved. After watching this I found and bought a TW200.
I live in The Kimberley, a wild region in the north of the the State of Western Australia. WA is three times as big as Texas, with a population of 2.5 million. I live in the least populated region, there are hardly any roads here, and no fences. There is a huge wilderness out my back door and this bike would be perfect to explore it. It's sandy and rocky here and those fat tyres would be get traction in the rugged terrain. Great video, thanks.
Don't think we get these in Australia unfortunately
Dunno that fuel range would get old real quick up there.
I've seen these with larger aftermarket tanks, as well.
Good on ya mate! Was just saddling up me dingo, to go croc watchin, up at the billabong!!
I can comfirm first hand that the wide tires on here will out perform the standard narrow dirt bike tires on sand and rocks by a long shot.
Batchelor Heights Kamloops B.C. Canada. I've been riding here since the 80's. Amazing dirt bike country!
I’m a 77 year old country citizen that loves this TW goat . It’s made to be dropped . Funnest machine made . Love your videos .
I've wanted one of these for years. And this just makes me want one even more than ever. I think this video is the ultimate tribute to this bike and makes us all remember why we want a dirt bike. Go ride and have fun.
Wait a minute somehow art got mixed up with a motorcycle review. The results are highly enjoyable.
Please don't use premiere. That's how channels die.
I was excited to watch this.... But now I have to be excited in 36 hours.... I can't live like this:(
Agreed! already unsubbed to afew channels who use this terrible Premieres feature. you can tell someone at youtube thought "oh god this will build so much hype for the video!" no, it only pisses off people who want to watch content when its "posted"
Agreed. It is a shit idea, as the videos end up well down the subscription page by the time it actually premieres.
This is Fortnine....not blizzard game company. It won't die as long as this team keeps pumping out great content and this video is no exception.
@Ross Bourne Good thing it didn't work so I had to go to their channel to get to the video. RUclips is really good at not sending notifications.
Im only two years late to comment and view this, but your production, comic, fact and review is worth a million... pictures. Top Gear can suck it if they ever try to beat this in making a TW video. (tractor wheel?) - also, you guys are metric... yay!!!!
Ryan, you are the best content creator/artist I've came across. Keep up the fantastic work for all of us impatiently waiting for the next masterpiece from you!!! Tons of love from the sister country Finland!!!
Did you really have to use Stan Rodgers to punch me straight in the feels?
"Sure, I won't get there fast, BUT ILL ALWAYS GET THERE" 😍
I always end up coming back to these videos a few months later. Its a never ending cycle.
“Don’t fence me in....”
Seriously Juan?!? You are everywhere!
"the rear tire on the front and the atv tire on the rear 1:46 xD
Lord I miss my tw200. I gave it to family where it now roams the Guatemalan mountains.
These videos are made so well. I can't believe you don't have more hits than this! Always well thought out ideas loaded with great information and witty banter make your videos a joy to watch. Keep up the good work Ryan!
The presentation, production, and editing always leaves me spellbound!!!
I dont know the last time I heard a Stan Roger's reference.
"One warm Line" - Stan Roger's
😍
Im a yank from ohio and i love stan rogers.
Nice vid, and now I've got Stan's great, booming voice in my singing. "Oh, for just one day I would take the Northwest Passage..."
Now I know, this channel is destined to become the best motorsport channel ever after the three English Trio and their programmes
I've been watching many videos on the TW lately & this is the best by far, we are moving back to western Canada in November so the video & landscape really resonated with me. I will most likely order one this christmas as a gift to myself. Thanks FortNine.
When I feel sad, I look for this video. Makes me feel so relaxed.
Just watched this a second time. It's got to be one of the best motorcycle videos I have ever seen, and I wish you could still buy a TW200 in Europe.
I can ship one to you from Canada :)
@@yessure5291 probably no chance to register it 🤔
@@sebastiangeorge7714 use the license plate from something else - ride conservative so you dont get pulled over and don't attract attention. I have been riding 42 years and only pulled over once. because "I was riding too careful" ha ha
@@yessure5291 that could get you in prison (in the worst case)
@@sebastiangeorge7714 Wrong -
Who had the nerves to dislike this amazing (project) 🤦🏽♂️! Great video, thanks for making it so special... Watching from NY
That was the best “motorcycle commercial” I ever saw. I didn’t know I needed this bike until now.
I just don't get what the fuss is about, I just watched another superb short film from this channel.
What, you knew about it BEFORE you could watch it?
What, you were denied instant gratification?
What, you actually had to anticipate, and then wait for something of quality?
Instant social media frenzy/meltdown!
Get a life, this shit is free, and seriously well made.
Grow up.
Aside from the premiere trickery, this another is yet another of your masterpieces. The filmography is on part with the greatest, the music and script on point.
Just like this bike I hope you'll keep on trucking FortNine
I've watched this about 6 times. Excellent review, and very artistic. Love your channel!
Dude, i absolutely love your videos. Your production and story telling are top notch. No one does this better than you! Keep it up!
OMG! I cant believe you can make a big budget feature film, on a bike made by a piano company, absolutly AWSOME. I just wish it was 10 mins longer so I could finish my box of popcorn and snow caps.
👏🏽👏🏽
This episode makes me want to cry and give my xt550 a hug.
Love coming back to these videos again and again...,thank you Ryan, Aneesh and team!
What an awesome vid. The writing and directing are lessons for producers. I can feel the teamwork involved. The whole FortNine team can take a bow. Thank you guys
I literally stood up and clapped for this vid! This absolutely made my night! It made me fall in love with my Tdub all over again! These are the exact reasons I bought one in the first place. Thank you for putting this together!
I have a TW... Love it for all the reasons you mentioned ..Good and not so good..It's not my only bike .. But my favorite for getting back to where I started riding from..
This comment right here.
My TW takes me back to being a kid growing up having a blast putting around on trails
The script, the cinematography, unbelievable stuff guys! I'm so impressed by your work! You all should be winning awards.
Wow, you did such an AWESOME job on this review!! It's so rare to find anyone willing to go to the trouble and effort that you did to review a bike. All I can say is WoW!! Thank you!!!
This video was awesome!! By far the best motorcycle video I’ve watched on here. Keep it up! Makes me love my TW200 even more.
The production value of this video alone is absolutely fantastic! Love this content, and I can hardly wait to see more videos like this!
You are my hero, brother. Love your sence of humor, your way of presenting information, your love of nature, for adventure and your videos. I live in Arizona, rode from AZ, to Key West, to Homer AK, to all across Canada to Glace Bay Nova Scotia, to home again. Your videos inspire me. Love them all. Thanks for doing them and for all you do.
Of all the awesome and different motorbikes I’ve owned, the TW200 holds the fondest of places in my heart. What a lovely tribute!
