It's fascinating you managed to cram three interesting topics into one video: g-g charts & product to get one, yamaha r7 review, and educational video on how to be a better rider!
As with everything in life, that’s a matter of opinion 😊 It’s interesting as a channel, but I get flashbacks to my schooldays which isn’t the reason I got into biking lol. Each to their own though, live and let live.
@@KurlachRyan's work is a full tank of fresh air in a world of bros who record themselves reading off a script in front of a camera or simply posting 30 minutes of unedited vlogging riding their bikes on ugly stroads. If anything, it is amazing to find content that satiates both my interests in scientific subjects and motorcycling with such a production level. Although I can understand it, if that's not what you want for your motorcycling content you can go ahead and watch literally any other channel around.
Fabulous presentation. I'm in my eighth decade and you're the best "teacher" I've ever seen (besides myself). I wish you'd been available to me when I started riding (1955 on a Cushman Eagle). Rock on!
It's just mesmerizing to watch your videos. Combining a Yamaha R7 review, in depth topics like G-G charts and riding techniques into an educational videos is staggering. Very well packaged, quality content it is. Keep up the good work Ryan and Team F9!
Awesome video. All these concepts make sense coming from a car enthusiast background, but it is a lot scarier to apply the theory in reality. But I think this video helped me with just trusting my gut feeling when trail braking.
Thank you so much, for not feeling the need to post 3 days a week and post interesting videos instead. You have some of the best videos I watch on UA-cam, thank you again for that.
I've clocked up 1200km so far on my R7 and I love it. You've done it a good justice with this video, that's for sure. A lot of reviewers just don't get it (albeit a lot do) and you've really hit the nail on the head. Now to get a G-G Meter and see if I'm riding my R7 to its potential.
I can't understand how ahead of every other channel fortnine is, this content is light years of interest ahead of every other motorcycle content on youtube.
I imagine my G-G chart closely resembles the wall behind the unlucky fellows at the St Valentines Day Massacre. Yet...I'm ok with that . I'm 62 and my current bike is 40...as were my previous 2. Neither bike nor rider is overly enthusiastic about the exploring the other side of the line, so my chart is less G-G and more trying to maximize the WHEEEEEE...!!! and minimizing the OUCHDAMMIT!!!! To that effort, I do employ a bit of a lean to keep the bike more upright around corners...but more for butt comfort...than butt clenching, limit seeking. Thanks, Ryan.
i find it so fascinating how you achieve a video level of a disney short or a slept on low budget netflix show with "only" 1.77 million subs like this actually fascinates me keep up the good work!
Another brilliant video! The R7 isn't a bike I'd ever considered, but you make me think about my own rides and how much different they are from that R7.
never rode a motorcycle. but these videos brake it down so well, i see that being a great biker i would prob do great at trail braking cuz come off the brakes well before i go into the corner
Can't wait to try this on my new bike! In 4 months when the snow is gone 😭. I swear your team can make anything interesting and it has me excited for every new upload!
ctrl + f "I don't have a bike but I love your videos" and find several hits for the exact same comment including the double thumbs up from different accounts... why?
Ryan Please consider making more content, all that holds you down from being top influencer/entertainer/instructor/comedian etc is the low number of videos and how short they are. Of course everyone watches every second but we need more content and duration. Hell I would watch Ryan every day, make and drink coffee or walk the dog, doing dishes, whatever, the guy is a media genius and we are here because we love him.
So it looks like Yamaha has created the ultimate track day bike! I'm biased on that ,because I used to race an SV650 against a swarm of screaming middleweight fours/
lol, i have to admit, the traction control on my FJ09 is kind of impressive and entertaining. Was cranking up a loose dirt road with some buddies and i just rolled on the throttle and blew by them like they were standing still. Thing felt like it was on pavement.
No wonder back in 1988 when I raced the south side of Palomar Mountain the big dogs said that I shouldn't be able to do what I was doing on an FZX 700 fazer. They said I was crazy and I said I didn't know the math.
I could bend a GSXR1100 around Road America in the 90's...sometimes the corner workers would take off running thinking i was crashing..lol...you can muscle a bike into where you want it....BTW i was a racer with a pro license in the AMA and WERA
I learned to trail brake by necessity. Many years ago I owned a slow-ass CB550 and on our group rides, but I'd still ride up front with the 600's and liters bike riders, riding the vagina (GG curve guys), so they'd blast away from from me in the straights, and despite having much more lean angle available and better tires, they usually were no faster than me mid corner, so I made it all up, trail braking. Braking deep into the turn while easing off until I was throwing up the occasional sparks from my low pipes, and then rolling back into the throttle at the apex without worrying about losing traction as I didn't have the power to do so at that lean angle. It annoyed one guy so much that I was right on his ass at the exit of every turn he let me pass and then just shadowed me for a few miles to learn how to do it. The downside to trail braking the way I do on my current Tiger 800 is that it really chews up off center tread blocks on my front tires (they turn into ramps), and I pay for it when I'm back in the dirt. Still gets the job done when I'm with riders on faster bikes though.
Im getting my first bike,I was on the fence to get the Yamaha R15m thinking it doesn't have much power, but seeing it has littrally all the same qualities as the bigger R7 and even looks like it , and i do wanna learn to ride fast . I'm fully sold this Video couldn't have been better timed man.
I do have similar problems even when my stats aren't stated on that GG Chart: I'm biased to the left due to right foot still on rear brake, though shifting full body to the right does compensate. Best part is I decelerate more than full throttle, with engine brake being my go to (though w/o slipper clutch, it does suck. Live with it). Hope to get my hand on that reading sensor whenever I'm free from work. Thank you Ryan for the great suggestion.
Best nonVoodoo explination of trail braking yet. Easy off brakesAS you lean. Others: “trail braking is leaning while you sqeeze the brakes trailing the brake as you squeeze it.” WTF?
I see Yamaha needed a marketing boost for the R7. LOL! As we saw in the video, finding your limits means sometimes exceeding your limits. Not good on the street.
i made an android app for this, it records speed and angle with all the sensors recording data. I use it to set up cones and then can replay the session when im home to view the content. Its totally just my app but i could release it now i think of it.. kinda thrown together but looks clean and does exactly that. like an ar slow control
I've wanted things for my bike more than I've wanted this. But I've never hit the "buy" button faster. I don't race. But I love competing and gauging my skill level.
There’s no way smashing the brakes with the ABS will get you to the top of the breaking G force. The whole concept of ABS module leads to brake intensity. So by definition, it lengthen the time on brakes and decreases the force felt. Same thing with traction/launch control. It’s inherently limiting to force being put down so it is nowhere near the 1.2 G forward acceleration limit.
Probably a dummy question but .. does this apply on all types of road bike? Also, would be great to see one video such as this for off-road motorcycling! P.S. Love your videos 😁🇮🇹

and crucial info about having sex in a kayak
All in under 10 minutes
And why braking in corners with soft forks is a no go
And a joke on cricket too! Bloody impressive as usual!
well said @eugeneyunak , i was thinking exactly the same :D

I agree. My only complaint is that this kind of quality takes time, so we can't get F9 videos nearly as often as I'd like.
there was some screeching from the tesla bros about this channel, i think they were hopped up on feelgoods till the tesla hitting bikers vid came out.

I just ride carefully and safely. I'm happy.
I achieve Negative G "accidentally" over a certain crest on one of my favourite roads lol. Terrifying but at the same time it's addictive!
No, you hit zero G. Negative G requires a force pushing you down other than gravity.

Dude. You're freaking hilarious while being insanely informative.

Best description of trail braking I ever heard! Keep up the good work, this channel is the best!!
Has there ever been a bad Fortnine episode? No matter the topic, it is always informative and interesting.
Wait...so now you want me to buy an R7 as well, along with the DesertX you sold me 3 weeks ago?
Great ad, just wish you'd make videos lately that werent just ads.
Yamaha, they make motorbikes, pianos and vocaloids

I love watching these videos with a hot cup of coffee! Thanks for making them!
Absolutely the best explanation on the planet. It’s about time someone put this together so we’ll. Thank you. 👍👍
Brilliant video, and Cypress Mountain is the perfect spot to demonstrate.
Your videos are impossibly good. Very entertaining, well produced, educational, smile inducing, just brilliant. Thank you. Keep it up please!
Gotta love the Fake 2 banger SuperSport😂😂 I would def buy as a commuter bike. Used. And 5 years from now. The Price Point is OUTRAGEOUS
3:58 dude is literally blowing.. 🤣🤣
this video was sponsored by Scorpion
(and Yamaha) and we loved it !!!
Another AMAZING exposition of how some cool things work. Thanks!
Thank you for this great infomercial.
Happy holidays from the Netherlands!
Explained the GG chart is such simple way.. Lots of love from India
my favorite thing about the new R7 is chasing them down in the twisties while riding full knobbies on my 690 enduro
This felt like an advert for the R7
So it looks like Yamaha has created the ultimate track day bike!
I'm biased on that ,because I used to race an SV650 against a swarm of screaming middleweight fours/

1:40 that was your best chart ever.
Pure, undiluted quality!
jeeeeesus this guy... protect this guy at all cost!
Enough power to get out of its way, is all you need

Best online motorcycle channel by far.
Alright I'm motivated to ride now,. Oh it's -10 degrees.

Right enjoyed that. As ever very informative with a nice level of humour as a bonus. Also prompts me to go look at an R7 as a bike for my garage.
Thank you for a brilliant video as always. Sharing some Keith Code style knowledge in simple to understand language.
The first minute I felt personally attacked lol
Can definitely hear the canadian coming out when you say “leeneear” haha
So, this is what passion looks like.
Amazing channel!
I feel like i should be paying for this amount of quality
6:53 hey, I know that guy! He was OK
What a great concept for a video!
other than the lack of traction control, it really sounds like a well rounded "starter" bike for baby squids.
Missed opportunity to make a G-spot joke
4:34 i think, Stopie was from Toprak Razgatlıoğlu 🥰 top rack rider :DDDDDD respect
That was so interesting, and I loved the trail braking explanation.
Just ordered the gps. Not sure which Rorschach image I will show as? Is there a small sombrero?
They said Stoner in his day on the Ducati was the only rider to modulate the throttle and brake when going into a corner.

It feels like you film a lot in Cypress. I practice low speed there most a lot, best place in Vancouver for doing that
Man I love this channel.
This stuff only works on a track or road you know well; on an unknown road more caution will be required
So, we buy an R7
I hope Yamaha paid you a fortune for producing a great advertisement for their R7.
The take away i get from this is....smooth is fast.....just as its always been.
FortNine produces yet another perfect video. Always fun and always informative!
If I recognize the corner, I can speed up after apex.
If it's new street, I'll just get slower to be safe

Thanks Ryan. I was trying to watch this while eating. But I couldn't stop laughing long enough to chew. Also, my screen looks like a G-G Chart now.

9:25 That thing Ryan was telling us about that I'm never gonna buy is $121, I say no thank you. My riding circle isn't that important.

Physics applies to all motorcycles!
That torque/power curve is great for a naked bike, not a supersport. This bike doesn't have the pedigree to earn the R7 name
I have always been better at lefts than rights. More comfortable with the lean. That’s my assessment of me after 30 years of it.
