FortNine you can borrow my FZ-10 if this is the sort of awesome content you keep coming up with! Hit me up if your interested. And welcome to the west coast Ryan from another north van rider.
I run a T100(before the T120 was introduced), i went from sports bikes and wanted to slow myself down, cant fault it for a simple all rounder, always puts a smile on my face and its perfect for open visor, country lane, long sweeping fun, its a back to basics kind of bike and thats why i love it.
I recently did the same thing. I went from a Ninja to the T100. I’m 53 and don’t need to be riding like a hooligan anymore. The Bonnie is such a nice around town bike.
I have the T120 and gave up ADV top heavy boring machines (Vstrom, R1200 GS) for something which is an absolute joy to ride everytime. Short trips, back roads, highway, long distance. It's motorcycling with real soul, and high grin factor.
I initially thought “that’s about as Torquay as it was in Point Break”. Then, “ahhhh torque/y”. Then, “hang on his surfing. On a beach that looks like it’s straight from the movie. The largest a,pint of confusion in the least amount of time. Yes. I’m baked. Edit Torquay is the surf town with Bells Beach.
I don't think anyone is ignoring it just was pretty obvious that was the entire goal of this video and the 'gag'. So calling it out is a bit - oh cool story Capt Obvious.
I like how the gearing shot was not only timed to the beat but also accurately portrayed the short gears. The whole video was really well done. You guys are a blast.
Ya, Rossi ALWAYS uses the word funny in place of fun! Probably not the best impression to try to get a Ducati, though. Maybe the only one that would be worse is Iannone. :-)
You should try some! its not that hard and it greatly improves your skill! It'll help if you lock your rear wheel or your reaction to sliding! On asphalt it's like grip grip grip grip, slip shits on fire sudden grip again. But on gavel it's all smooth you can position yourself give more weight to the front and let it slide :) Also its sooo much fun!
@@MaxMustermann-bm7qt Couldn't agree more. In 3 years, I had ONE big rear slide under hard braking on a highway, and I think it gave me a mini heart attack. Compare that to dirt riders who never seem to be going in the direction their wheels are pointed (never mind MotoGP riders like MM93), and it totally bears out what you said about skill improvement. What kind of motorcycle did you begin with on dirt/gravel?
@@UVjoint Depends on the kick you want, and the budget. I started with a klx250 2013, which is veeeryyy weak and heavy (120kg, which is a lot for dirt in combination with very little torque). But it was enough for 2 years. Generally there are three roads to pick. 2-stroke enduro, 4 stroke enduro/sumo and the dual-sport. The two-stroke is by far the lightest/quirkiest around 95kg and endless torque. But it is also the wierdest from the engine characteristics (i.e. no engine break/ wierd torque to rpm dependency)./ I personally prefere the 4-stroke. They usually come in 350 and 450cc. While the first is enough for all offroad terrain I ever encountered, the latter is more "comfortable" on the highway (gear ratio) and overall faster. You can also go for the 4 stroke travel endouro or the 700cc ish supermotos. Which work great but are too big and heavy for me (65kg) guy. I think there are currently a honda dual sport as 450cc and nothing much else. As mentioned above, my kawa was not ideally fitted for the dirt nor for the street. It was a classic compromise in that is wasn't great on dirt or on the road. If you wand to do some donats on the dirt, a normal bike (old, because paint) or scrambler will do. For light dirt and small trees, an old/used dual sport (You do not want a high performance engine for maintenance) will do. If you really want to get into the dirt, the cheapest option for new bikes are swm (base 2009? Husqvy). Beta has a beginners 2-stroke (X-Trainer), and KTM has the freeride (4 stroke). Gas gas might also have something cheap. I do not advise you to buy a used 'real' (high-performance) bike except, when you know the pre-owner they require much more maintenance and care than i.e. my old kawa that never had any issues. If i could start again/ my next bike will prob. be a 350cc 4stroke husqvy (bc. i want the 4-stroke and the clutch is hydralic, the suspension is slightly better than the x-trainer i own, but this are marginal upgrades for around 2000$). Hope this might give a brief overview of some possibilities. Cheers
I got into riding in the dirt because I rode my first bike, a road bike, through a gravel parking lot and had the time of my life. Now I'm a hardcore ADV lover and KLR fanboy.
FortNine: Hmm. Ive ridden 2017 t100 2018 t100. 2016, 2017 and 2018 t120. And 2 street scramblers. On alll of them i loved the clutch and gearbox. Smooth as hell and a really nice feel
I also love them, (from afar!) but when I eventually get off my 125cc 10hp beast machine (lol) I hope to upgrade to a big black naked street triple, but one of the older models, not one that looks like a new electric shaver, the new ones really don’t do it for me!
@@lego856 It was my first bike. I have gotten 3 others since. (love bikes) I high recommend it for new biker, since you dont have to exchange for a better bike, and its really easy to ride
Ryan, I can’t say enough positive things about you and your team. Thoroughly entertaining and informative at the same time. It is a complete gift to my life that your content is about motorcycles!, if it wasn’t, I would’ve missed out on your bottomless creativity. I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!
Man, the quality of your videos just keeps getting better and better! So many funny things but I think I liked the "box full of neutrals" comment the most...
I've got a 2014 T100 and love it. She isn't the fastest or best handling but something about this bike just makes you smile when you ride it. When I want to go fast, I pull out my other Triumph which is a 2001 Sprint ST with a ton of hop-up mods. Fun bikes indeed. LOVE this channel!
Quality, engaging unique content as usual, so much more interesting and entertaining to watch than the bland procession of 10 mile test ride “first impressions”.
Vancouver: When I arrived in Vancouver my friend pointed toward North Van and said, "If you can see the mountains, that's north. If you can't, it's raining!" Good work guys. Ronn
This guy is so eloquent in using his words that you always need to wait till the end if a pre could be a con and vice versa..My best friend owns a 900 thruxton and when he got bored of it, bought a 1200R as well..I like the retro style looks of them both..But they are heavy non flickable pigs compared to a ktm950 or the Ducati Desert Sled which I enjoy to ride..But each his own;-)
This, along with all of your content, is stunning! I really appreciate the meticulous attention to detail, along with the professional-quality videography/cinematography/screenwriting! The combination of your knowledge and skill makes for a very unique, stimulating learning experience throughout each video you publish. Excellent work, as always! Thank you for your dedication to the craft, it is truly inspiring!
Ryan, I have been working in the video production world for over 20 years, and (while under my headphones) this video forced me to laugh loud enough to raise the suspicion of my coworkers about what I was doing at 10:30am. Thanks for almost geting me fired man! Keep up the good work, and let me know if your ever filming in Winnipeg. "Box full of neutrals".......love it!
Brands should pay attention and get you bikes. F9 videography and style cuts through the standard bike press noise and gives them exposure in a way that is authentic and is something I look forward to watching because it is an experience. Thanks from Kelowna 🇨🇦
After this video officially there is one way to call motorcycle enthusiasts who are not fake and are the best at rating, showing, exploring and presenting the bikes in the most creative way, and this is: Ryan F9 and his whole team :) PS Wooow, this video has hit the spot on so many levels.. Mind blown :)
Alrighty...going out of character...now: Dude, this was so good in so many levels! Loved the scripting, sarcasm and well just about every aspect of this VDO. To think this is from a Motorcycle retailer...It was dope. From the rain to snow to 6 foot 3 inch surfing dude, I ate every nanosecond of it. Not sure if it's the wine, whiskey or beer I had tonight, but just sayin' . So no, your Promo shot did not work for me one bit... I'm now going to buy a T100 RIGHT now, despite not wanting one at all. Good work FortNine (Ryan F9), keep up your passion for us riders out there. ... Back in Character...Now. PS. Miss your Ride Days @ Jos Patate in Grenville.
I just keep coming back to this video because it cracks me up. I ride at Street Twin and call it my ''box full of neutrals." Plenty fast for me but I do love how Fort9 makes fun of the "lifestyle."
I just bought a T120, and this video did help in convincing me - that line about closing your eyes and imagining you're riding a motorbike just speaks perfectly to the ergos.
The final clip was iceing on the cake ..Thanks . I gave up a 1700 Road Star for a little Street scrambler this year and feel completly set free..I Ride 20% dirt roads 10% highway and 70% really bumpy back roads .. If you can afford only one bike you pick the bike that fits your main use and laugh at what it cant do with love for what they do so well .. A T100 can do so much .. I might need my 29" inseam to get comfortable on the thing .. Thanks again , Guy
I just love these vids man, just pure authentic..... Ehh, who am i kidding. I’m from Sweden, so just thank you guys for really fun and great quality videos 👍🏼
I owned two street bikes, this, then a Yamaha Ventura Royale 1985. So glad you did not explode lighting gasoline. Bravo . Love your stuff. You are awesome.
I avoided watching this video but, there's alway a but, I did. You're beyond amazing, jaw dropping, well spoken, and talented people. There are 'the others' in one column and then there's you. Above and beyond anything the 'others' dare to think. Thank you.
superb.Possibly your best video.I rarely bother commenting on a super popular channel like this, because it'll never get read by anyone, let alone you, Ryan. But this video simply too good not to leave a comment. Love your work.
Dude, I’m glad I got back into riding motorcycles. If I hadnt, I would have never found your channel! Thanks for the GREAT videos! You and your team do a awesome job!
I bought a 1997 900 thunderbird. Sound is awesome. Great engine. Solid feel. Won't make a hole in the air at 90+ like a Blackbird but will cruise all day at 85. I get more comments from passers-by than any of my other bikes. Maybe the t100 is newer and cooler but I like classic carbs over fuel injectors and I get a modern monoshock instead of the classic twin rear suspension. All for a quarter of the price.
Wow, as always entertaining and informative. That promo near the end was priceless! As a old school road rider enjoy watching your channel the best. As others and I aggree Ryan and your team great work of talent(s).
Back in 82 I converted a T120 to a mean road machine with a new Ceriani front end, a revised rear shock mounting for a couple extra inches of travel, then sold it to a guy who never paid and got cashiered out of the USMC and disappeared. I just bought two early sixties T100's, a T140, a couple extra frames and I believe I'm going to enjoy the next year as much as any. Four sixties and seventies Triumphs in my shop is as good as it gets, I think. Been saving front ends and parts for twenty years and really looking forward to some fine cruising. Dunlop K70's for all.
Cleverly done. The promo video was actually quite good. It would make me want to buy a T100 if I didn't already know it was way too much speed and weight for me.
Was that a British Customs, after market, extended surf seat you were laying on? I need one of those for my Speedmaster. Does it come with twin trained squirrels to shift and apply the rear brake? Gotta say, best motorcycle promo video EVER.
RYAN, YOU NEVER FAIL. "we need to make this engine look bigger...grab the wide angle lense..." And the plank body tribute to Salt speed cracked me up. Well done. Roll credits...flip a finger at Italy....nice...
@@jsdhesmith2011 Interceptor have nothing on Triumph. My (second) 2007 Bonnie is a fantastic bike, but I’m biased, a ‘67 Bonnie was my first love. I’ve had 27 bikes in between but back to Triumph for my twilight years with the benefit of no oil leaks and virtually never have to set the tappets...timing etc But whatever you ride or prefer is also fine as long as you manage to stay upright. ;) I’ve had a couple of Enfield billets and dead good reviews on interceptor but they are kinda ugly & prone to rust I hear.
Very smartly done. Very funny too. Just discovered these videos. This mockup promotional "take the piss" video style is actually better than the cheesy "real" ones. Loved it!
Ive been watching a ton of motorcycle videos and the F9 ones are the best! Well, you’ve talked me into it. Think I’m going to get a T-100. Keep making these awesome videos.
For my (paltry) money, I'd rather have the previous model, the 865. More power, lighter weight, more authentic (if that's what you want)--air cooling and 360 crank. Also less money because it's used. Super video.
I like this Fort Nine guy. He respects the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650. And he disses the Triumph T100, which really, is a bike in a whole different league of quality over the Enfield.. Congratulations. You have reached NEXT LEVEL newfie
Hahaha that was priceless. "I can't lean anymore. Just tilt the camera"
That's moto filmmaking 101 right there haha. ~RF9
Thought it was "I can't 'learn' anymore.
Just tilt the camera"
Lol
He could have pulled his feet back a little. The boots touched down, not the pegs.
Johan, I thought the point was that he couldn’t lean any further when clearly he could have leaned quite a bit further.
I can get way lower, although all the naysayers call it 'lowsiding', and 'outragiously stupid', but I get down so low I scrape the gas tank. Try me bro!
“The transmission is a box full of neutrals”....my chuckle for the day 😏
Indeed. i wonder if there are more neutrals than in my Moto Guzzi from the 80s....
I was wondering what that meant actually?
@@vishalvivek8same

This intro was dope! Y’all are serious cinematographers. The Italian accent was hilarious too.
The accent was pretty spot on !!

Tbh I think it sounded more like a french accent ;) Still really funny tho
Ze uhh, yamahas, they're not funny
Great Rossi impersonation...Sounded just like him.
Just toss an "alloraaaa..." and a "poosh very 'ard" in there and he's got it!
I’m 100% sure Ryan and the Fortnine team could make a video about belly button fluff and it would still be one of the best videos on UA-cam.
Ben Tate OMG 🤣 That is so true!
Unfortunately, Ducati won't provide a bike...
I would watch that
I hope that he accepts this challenge for april fools next year
Can we all just stop and appreciate the effort and time put in the making of the videos. This is just levels above the top class.
As someone who is genuinely scared of the smallest patch of gravel, seeing ryan go "offroad" on every bike he rides is just majestic to me

If you can afford only one bike you pick the bike that fits your main use and laugh at what it cant do with love for what they do so well .. A T100 can do so much .. I might need my 29" inseam to get comfortable on the thing .. Thanks again , Guy
I just love these vids man, just pure authentic..... Ehh,
who am i kidding. I’m from Sweden, so just thank you guys
for really fun and great quality videos 👍🏼
I owned two street bikes, this, then a Yamaha Ventura Royale 1985. So glad you did not explode lighting gasoline. Bravo . Love your stuff. You are awesome.
Stickin' it to Ducati. Very nice F9.
I avoided watching this video but, there's alway a but, I did.
You're beyond amazing, jaw dropping, well spoken, and talented people.
There are 'the others' in one column and then there's you.
Above and beyond anything the 'others' dare to think.
Thank you.
Love that changing gears to the rhythym part
superb.Possibly your best video.I rarely bother commenting on a super popular channel like this, because it'll never get read by anyone, let alone you, Ryan. But this video simply too good not to leave a comment. Love your work.
I love how you made this a documentary about making a promo, and so entertaining. How are you not doing standup?
Dude, I’m glad I got back into riding motorcycles. If I hadnt, I would have never found your channel! Thanks for the GREAT videos! You and your team do a awesome job!
Amazing top quality production as always. You and your team is hands down the best bike content creators on YT.
Sounds like a bike I could enjoy in my senior years. Like Leno said, sometimes you just want to go for a ride.
Once again, the most creative reviews out there. Ryan and gang, you guys are breathing new life into the industry and leading the way.
I bought a 1997 900 thunderbird. Sound is awesome. Great engine. Solid feel. Won't make a hole in the air at 90+ like a Blackbird but will cruise all day at 85. I get more comments from passers-by than any of my other bikes. Maybe the t100 is newer and cooler but I like classic carbs over fuel injectors and I get a modern monoshock instead of the classic twin rear suspension. All for a quarter of the price.
Intelligent, humorous, informative and fun.
I remember my life like the promo vid but I wouldn’t trade any of the behind the scenes away for a longer promo vid. Well done.
Wow, as always entertaining and informative. That promo near the end was priceless! As a old school road rider enjoy watching your channel the best. As others and I aggree Ryan and your team great work of talent(s).
By far the best motorcycle review, editing, scripts, and videography around. Hope your channel takes off.
The content and quality of these videos are just next level. Keep it up F9!
Back in 82 I converted a T120 to a mean road machine with a new Ceriani front end, a revised rear shock mounting for a couple extra inches of travel, then sold it to a guy who never paid and got cashiered out of the USMC and disappeared. I just bought two early sixties T100's, a T140, a couple extra frames and I believe I'm going to enjoy the next year as much as any. Four sixties and seventies Triumphs in my shop is as good as it gets, I think. Been saving front ends and parts for twenty years and really looking forward to some fine cruising. Dunlop K70's for all.
I really like this channel great instruction and information. The kid is spot on I've been riding for 44 years so I know he knows his subject.
Simply the best "behind the scenes" glimpse of a promo video...class!!
Ciao Ryan, io sono disekjoumoer. The Italians gonna have to up their game after this authentic video.
This is the first FortNine video I've ever watched as I am a newbie in the motorcycling world. Never clicked subscribe faster
That was the most shade I've ever seen thrown in a youtube video review, and that's saying something.
@@Jtzkb And even with that, he needed that heat when he was cold.
You guys just have the best motorcycle channel on UA-cam in the world. Ernsthaft jetzt!
That was frigging awesome. You & 44teeth are my two favourite youtube channels.
Cleverly done. The promo video was actually quite good. It would make me want to buy a T100 if I didn't already know it was way too much speed and weight for me.
"and the transmission is a box full of neutrals" LoL
As a triumph owner and a fortnine fan, not sure how i missed this for 5yrs. Now i want a T100 next to my 2007 Scrambler
'good vibrations' was the theme of a Triumph documentary in the 70's..
I just stumbled across your channel tonight searching for URAL vids, 4hrs of binge-watch later...I love it!
That was the best motorcycle review I've ever seen, fantastic
This is the most epic motorcycle channel on UA-cam! Period. Detailed, informative and full of sarcasm!
That authentic laugh..😂😂
Himanshu Bodh Laugh or you wont get dinner 😂
I liked in-depth analysis and the sincere commitment to motorcycling---well done!! All the best from United Kingdon/Japan!
Was that a British Customs, after market, extended surf seat you were laying on? I need one of those for my Speedmaster. Does it come with twin trained squirrels to shift and apply the rear brake? Gotta say, best motorcycle promo video EVER.
Hahahaha. I lost it at the squirrels. ~RF9
RYAN, YOU NEVER FAIL. "we need to make this engine look bigger...grab the wide angle lense..." And the plank body tribute to Salt speed cracked me up. Well done. Roll credits...flip a finger at Italy....nice...
So, is it a good bike?
Genuinely couldn't tell
I think he liked it to be honest. He didnt have much bad to say about it, and the criticisms he did have were turned around into benefits anyway.
Honestly for the money you can do a lot better, unless it has to look exactly like this bike.
@@jeffdean7666 look at Royal Enfield. Triumph is over priced and has quality control issues.
@@jeffdean7666 Interceptor 650 is getting a lot of attention!
@@jsdhesmith2011
Interceptor have nothing on Triumph.
My (second) 2007 Bonnie is a fantastic bike, but I’m biased, a ‘67 Bonnie was my first love.
I’ve had 27 bikes in between but back to Triumph for my twilight years with the benefit of no oil leaks and virtually never have to set the tappets...timing etc
But whatever you ride or prefer is also fine as long as you manage to stay upright. ;)
I’ve had a couple of Enfield billets and dead good reviews on interceptor but they are kinda ugly & prone to rust I hear.
Very smartly done. Very funny too. Just discovered these videos. This mockup promotional "take the piss" video style is actually better than the cheesy "real" ones. Loved it!
Ive been watching a ton of motorcycle videos and the F9 ones are the best! Well, you’ve talked me into it. Think I’m going to get a T-100. Keep making these awesome videos.
For my (paltry) money, I'd rather have the previous model, the 865. More power, lighter weight, more authentic (if that's what you want)--air cooling and 360 crank. Also less money because it's used.
Super video.
That was so good, I went out and bought 3 of them and threw away my Ducati!
Now I want a Bonneville. If only Duvati made inspirational videos like this, I would have considered getting one of those.
Every FortNine video I watch, Ryan gets more and more Canadian and I love it eh
I never thought about buying a T100 until I saw the add you did, thanks.
Man I actually love this bike
I like this Fort Nine guy. He respects the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650. And he disses the Triumph T100, which really, is a bike in a whole different league of quality over the Enfield.. Congratulations. You have reached NEXT LEVEL newfie
