Hilarious that they had to shuttle the group to the outdoors for a ride demo. Truly a trailer adventure bike.

I've never encountered a channel that blends poetry and technicality so seamlessly in a single review.

[AndrewPenner]

I love the poetry, the scripting, the cinematography, it's all incredible. But my favourite part is how F9 isn't afraid to talk both pros and cons bluntly (but always eloquently), and lets the viewer think for themselves without spoon feeding a blindingly obvious conclusion.

I read a couple of reviews on these two bikes. Neither one went into the main reasons for the swingarm and motor being combined. Infact they never mentioned that it was a combination. All they seemed to do was downplay it as to only be an enclosed drive. Thanks Ryan for going into the real reasons.

Ryan makes it fun to listen to something about something you really don't care that much about.

[rileywebb]

Can't wait to buy a clapped out one in 5-10 years

[nwbasson]

See a lot of people defending this bike as a "good commuter option"... It's $18k! You can get a Surron and a SV650 for that price probably.

Where else can you get a motorcycle review AND an honors physics lesson. I love this channel, so well done, every time.

Electric adventure motorcycles are really cool concepts but the fact that you can’t bring a extra tank of gas with you will always be a problem

[wadewarnock]

honestly hit this on the head. range is what will keep these bikes from dominating the market. I'm super excited for the day we can actually enjoy something like this for longer than your average American commute.

Ryan + Aneesh is an epic combo. Ryan, your writing is fantastic... balanced and thought-provoking. Aneesh, your cinematography, editing, so carefully thought out and beautifully executed. Bravo, gentlemen!

[sloannewman]

Over five years and this show still is awesome. Ryan is always entertaining and the information is insightful- even to an old guy who hasn’t been on a bike in 8+ years. I know that if I ever do find my way back that I’ll be basing my decisions on the advice from this channel. Thank you amazing content.

[GediMini]

I never rode a motorcycle and I most definitely never will, but I enjoy your videos a lot and watch every one of them like it's a special treat. Thanks for your great work!

I bought a CanAm 125 enduro back in 1975. I had heard about the awesome power of the Rotax two stroke engine and it did not disappoint. Way more power than similar offerings from the Japanese. The bike was also innovative as it came with a plastic tank and fenders which were unbreakable and didn't rust. I remember the cooling fins on that engine were so large the engine looked more like a 250 than a 125. Those fins really helped to keep the engine temperature down. This was a quality motorcycle with class leading performance - and it was cool.

The best electric motorbikes are already unbelievably popular, at least where I live. They're the electric assist cruiser/commuter bicycles, "mopeds" in the original sense (MOtor+PEDal). They have a decent top speed and range for city commuting, don't require a license, can be ridden/parked anywhere without anyone really caring, and don't require registration or insurance. People seem to not consider these as "motorbikes" but they're basically as fast and capable as many small scooters of the past were.

I think these make some of the low range/low speed offerings from companies like Maeving a very hard sell when they're a fraction of the price, don't need registration/insurance, don't need a license and can be ridden/parked on footpaths - the slightly higher top speed of something like a Maeving just doesn't seem worth the extra cost and hassle.

I don't own one but they're a pretty compelling introduction to motorbikes for a huge number of people.

That’s 115km range in ideal conditions…once the temp drops, it would likely get you stranded in the middle of nowhere.

The only time in my life I felt obliged or even felt like its my duty to hear the sponsors at the end....
Much Respect fortnine.

FortNine has no business being this damn good at making films. This man needs far more attention, views, and love. Thanks for all that you do for the motorcycling community.

I've owned 3 electric motorcycles, all by Zero. They have their uses and are actually quite fun to ride. However, the current battery technology isn't up to where it needs to be for electric to replace gas. If I plan on a ride of 100 miles or so, I take my DSR/X. When I want to go farther, the BMW GS comes out of the garage.

Just discovered this channel I recently watched around 30-40 videos last week absolute gold mine of a channel ⭐
