I read a comment from an experienced documentary maker with “40+ years experience” for some legit channels and mags. He wrote the best compliment you could hope for. Been watching ever since. Just sublime work.

[@alsprinter]

You guys are what Top Gear used to be for cars, but for Motorcycles. Just Amazing.

Yeah just dont punch someone over a cold sandwhich. Lol.

...and I might add...Fortnine is a great place to buy Harley parts if you are a Canadian....lower cost that out of the US

[@gur262]

Ah. Not enough riding twisties for me. It would be hilarious to punch every bike around a course or 2.

[@geethsan1567]

Your sound, the way of filming, the production quality, the review all alone makes it look there was a million dollar budget for this video. Absolutely badass.

[@michaels5495]

Yeah, thats what I was thinking. the cinematography alone made the production value seem way high.

[@GETUPANDGO]

Yep, couldn't agree more

[@gasdive]

More effort in the review than Yamaha put into the bike.

[@thursdayfan]

What is the chance you will render the videos as actual 21:9 instead of rendering it at 16:9 by adding black bars at the top and bottom with 21:9 video? The thing I hate the most is watching a 21:9 video with black bars added to make it 16:9... Full-screen just means bars on the top, bottom, and sides because of this which kills my desire to watch the video

[@FortNine]

Biggest expense on this video was the "Domino's Pizza Budget." Those scenes with the falling cards made for a *really* long night haha. ~RF9

[@966396631]

What the hell did I just watch? Whoever is doing these productions is either a billionaire with an unlimited budget or a genius. Everything is flawless. Jesus.

[@NikkiAyumu]

Man, is no one going to mention the homage to Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels here?! I love how FortNine always tries to sneak pop culture references in their videos, and I love the feeling when viewers (yours truly) can spot those references. Ryan even mentioned RockNRolla, also by Guy Ritchie. That's just top notch writing.

[@PhantomRides]

Should we name you the "God of Bike Reviews" already? *take a bow*

[@drakomal55]

[@michaelscot9]

How much money are you given to make these videos? Jesus Christ, it looks less like a bike review and more like an Oceans Sequel.

i think the inspiration was more likely from lock stock and two smoking barrels and snatch.

Lock, stock and two smoking carburators!

[@Chillingworth]

I don't leave comments often so let's just let this cover all your vids: This channel's videos are damn good. I've been binging through them, and the style of editing is great for delivering information, without being cringey and repetitive like everything on TV that's trying to do the same thing. Great job to everyone involved and please keep up the good work. Love this shit. 💯💯💯

Wow, awesome production quality and content. Amazing.

[@davidjames3985]

[@rahulsarma5495]

You might also check PowerDrift reviews. They have been doing it for quite some time now. Similar production values I mean..

[@bhaddock9277]

I agree. Makes other bike reviews look like bike reviews. This is art, good art. Highly watchable.

[@afrenchfrito]

I bought one of the first SCR950's to ship to the US, I work at a dealer and have been working the same side of the argument from the beginning. A scrambler is a horribly inappropriate converted cheap simple street bike that looks and sounds cool as hell, and makes you feel like a hooligan. You are exactly right, modern "scramblers" just turned into dualsports and adv bikes. Revzilla dropped the ball on their review calling the SCR an underperforming parts bin special while riding around in the sand treating it like a wr250r. The bike has character and style, and mine also has completely rubbed down peg feelers and a skidplate so dinged up by rocks metal polish no longer helps. It's not particularly fast, very heavy, has painful ergonomics (muh shins) , no special electronics, a roar to set off car alarms as you stroll buy (thanks vance and hines) and it's hilariously bad at dirt riding. I love it. And it was so cheap by the time I get half way to wearing out it's indestructible cruiser vtwin I'll have money to buy another. Cheers.

[@dougiequick1]

An alcoholic might have character and style too, but at the end of the day? Just another drunk. Personally? I don't get it ...A.lot of things in motorcycling I don't get though so maybe it's me. I don't get harley's either or cruisers for that matter....I don't get 700 llb adventure bikes with knobbies. ....I have to admit being attracted to one impractical genre or at least the concept .. idea of a "tracker" style bike ...which I realize I would probably not like if actually ever bought one....they just look cool as hell and I fantasize sliding one on fire roads ....if I HAD to buy a "scrambler"? I'd buy a "tracker" and pretend it's a scrambler ...one thing though. I dont care what anyone thinks I would have a front tender on it!

[@liv4music]

Thanks for talking about the bike instead of the fucking video production. The info you shared was very useful.

[@sriramranganathan1569]

@@liv4music lol yeah, the comment section seems a desert when it comes to talking about the bike itself. It's like people pouring praises on a porsche... for it's sound system or something.

[@liv4music]

@@sriramranganathan1569 yup...good video though, right?😉

[@johnnyhumbolt2545]

I also got one of the first SCR’s (California Model too). 20,000 miles and bulletproof reliability. I road it across the county and back. It’s my preferred commenting machine. I ride it basically wide ope 80% of the time. It’s definitely not fast but will pull the wheel up with a little bit of clutch finesse. Lol It rips, makes you feel like your tearing up the road. My peg fellers are long gone... For the price you can’t beat it... Its just such a classic, standard motorcycle. If you wanted a brand new bike but only wanted to pay $4000. This is exactly why you would expect. Seriously you can go by a “New” 2017 with zero miles for like $4000 dollars in mid-west America. How could you beat that?!

[@Lliamhd]

That rear wheel flipping the card in the dirt, that magic Yamaha to ADV transform that I didn't even notice happening the first time around, and everything everyone else mentioned - the cards falling, etc. Just amazing production value.

[@tomphan6438]

I love my SCR950... so reliable and an absolute hulk in terms of bang for your buck. Only thing I'd recommend is better tires for longer mileage riding. I did the CA coast ride twice w/ 2nd trip using Michelin Anakee 3 and was absolutely a blast being able to hang with the Triumphs. Also always love the compliments at gas stations... very unique looking bike!

[@mekongdelta1956]

I love mine too bro. It was hard at first because I rose CBRs. I’ve been taking it camping here in SC. I dig it more and more as I break more into it. Hope to hit the west coast soon.

[@boristhe_blade8645]

Everyone is praising the production quality, but it's the exquisite poetry that gets me.

[@ADDICTION117]

God I love these videos so much! Just the writing, the production value, and the time put into them. Plus all done on a tight budget. My opinion, best motorcycle content on the internet. P.S. Love how you guys respond to basically everyone in the comments

[@FortNine]

Thanks! Talking bikes is one of our favourite things to do, so responding to comments is a pleasure. ~RF9

Blown away every time in terms of production, story telling, and all around entertainment. You're making reviews fun, and interesting with a twist that makes you think about it from another perspective without saying "This is what this bike/part does". Keep it coming!

[@Mike-om4ro]

Holy cow that is the best introduction I've ever seen. So clever and well written! 👏

[@henriquebertuol7220]

I probably watched this video about 5 times this week (it’s tuesday) Just keep finding myself back here, the video quality is just absolutely amazing!

[@stuste964]

Man your videos are second to none, entertaining, informative, well shot and justified opinions. Hats off to you good folks 👏🏻

[@jamesherrington5606]

Best motorcycle video yet. You really stepped up with incredibly high production value. I love the cards falling slowly then in reverse. The dirt track scene where the tire pushed that lone card was extremely well done. The info on the bike was solid. Wth with the damn 5 speed? You really nailed it.

[@crawlinwithkeagan5678]

Watching this a few years later (you know 4 or so) and still brings a quirky smile to my face. This vid is still Aces!

[@tristanwalker8265]

These reviews simultaneously inspire me to be creative with motorcycle based content and also absolutely discourage me because I know I'll never be as good. Keep it up RF9 you're killing the game!

[@bjstuhl]

Another freak'n beautiful review that skirts that line between high-art film-making and consumer reports...your aces.

[@NeutralKnowledge]

This kind of an intro is so well made. I like your high-quality videos.

[@mwsletten]

The well-researched, informative, valuable reviews aside, it's been very enjoyable watching the writing, production quality, and presentation on your content mature. I especially like the move toward centralized concepts, like the card motif in this video. You have a talented team; keep up the good work.

[@AaronKamel]

I don't know why, but I've literally watched this video at least twice a week for like a month now, I just love it. It inspires me, makes me wanna ride like crazy and take the shakiest of bikes into the unfairest of roads

[@AaronKamel]

Now I don’t watch it twice a week but I still love this. This is how motorcycle companies should make their ads.

The writing, man! The writing is amazing! Keep up the good work. This is the third or fourth time I've watched this and I finally understand what you're saying. The other times I watched I was too impressed by the cinematography and editing to get the gist of the story.

[@kilo3989]

This has got to be my favorite video on this channel. It's not the topic most relevant to me: even now that I know what "scrambling" is, it's not for me. Rather, it's the conceit of the video, and the polish, and the way the info is dressed that instantly draws me to this particular storytelling gem of an informational motorcycle video. What a fantastic watch!

[@orangelion03]

Another excellent Fortnine production! The FZ/MT 7 would be an awesome platform for a high-pipe scrambler.

[@FortNine]

Does the T7 count? ~RF9

[@orangelion03]

Not yet!! Though I'm looking forward to seeing the T7, I was thinking more along the lines of a bike that looks like a traditional scrambler as opposed to a truly capable ADV/dual-sport =D

[@esox202]

Can't wait for it.

[@gianniforonda5842]

orangelion03 have seen or heard of the retrofied version of the MT-07? If not, Check out the yamaha XSR-700.

I’ve watched this video over three times in the past few years, and it just gets better. Ryan, you and your team put the fun back into bikes. No it’s not good off-road, no it’s not good on road, no it’s not the best. But you guys understand that the beauty lies in the eye of the beholder, and the rider. You lay out what the bike is and isn’t, and then say that it’s alright, because the machine is only what you do with it.

[@BJK1987AU]

I had a Yamaha Bolt for a while before the SCR was out. There was no way i thought that bike would be make into a scrambler. Ok entry level cruiser but no scrambler. Great review as always.
