FortNine do you think the make shox helmets are ok or could you test one please . thank you .
FortNine this is my bike, well 2010 GS. You nailed something that's so hard to explain, it is a tall, heavy dirt bike...that is old man perfect around town. You nearly killed me with the reality vs expectations bit. Beautiful. I have had a chance to get on the AT yet, but the DCT is enticing. Great review
Really not the KTM 1290 Super Adventure R!! I'm sorry but I think you made a bad choice I think the KTM is twice the bike, but a great video like always and I apologize for ranting at you. Its my personal opinion and nothing else good video.
Where did you get your crash bars ?
And people like to talk shit about the klr 650 because it's 432 lbs wet lmaooooooo! !
Watching your videos are like watching short movies.
exactly... they are like movie directors who rides motorcycles.... the Kawasaki versys300 vs Honda CRFL250 video was like a Nolan movie in small scale ...
Strell I
For sure
It could be because it’s a short movie.
Didn't expect to see you here,strelli am your subscriber.
You guys have zero competition when it comes to production value of motorcycle reviews! It's like a damn short movie / documentary.
Ryan needs to be nominated for an Academy Award for this one
Try 'powerdrift'
@@pratham5997 I checked it out and it's not even close. Just like hundred other channels with good post-production but that's about it. F9 is still way above.
everyone is going through something..but it will be better...
czcams.com/video/JubFlTJKyJ0/video.html
LOLO REY channel disliked and reported for spam
Pratham Aggarwal that channel looks like every other motorcycle channel lol
The production level I'd insanely good. Pay your editor well. I know he is working his ass off.
Plot twist: he is his editor
@Kartik Chauhan or both
@Kartik Chauhan what makes you think he is not indian
@@dextew69 perhaps he is a Harley guy
Not really
Sold me on the bike when I first watched this. 6 months later, I got one and have never looked back... great channel, great motorcycle
whoever does the cinematography for these videos has had some proper schooling because these videos are amazing.
Actually he did went to film school also anyone can make a video like this with help with someone holding a camera
Squiddyhands What a moronic comment, enriched by the “he did went” comment within the comment.
cinematic better than GOT
Do watch powerdrift and sagar sheldekar channel.. you'll love cinematography
@@RaunakPSingh big balling is the game
as soon as the voice changed from ryans voice i realised how his voice is hypnoticing on another level.
in a good way.
I actually realised even before I bought my 1200 GSa that the 800 GS probably would be a better choice. It is cheaper, nimbler and of course much better to ride off road. However, I hardly ride off road at all and I simply love my 1200. I love it for the range, for the comfortability, the weight when it is windy, the look of it and because of the engine. Yes, the 800 would have been a better choice in many ways but still....
same
Same!
Is there a CZcams Oscars thing yet? You'd win every year.
Yeah there is! My mom hosts the CZcams Oscars. In her living room. And I do win every year... ~RF9
FortNine
Lol, congratulations on your perfect record...

@@FortNine I want this to be true
WTF???
Still a better love story than Twilight
This is even a better love story than Romeo and Juliette.
Yeah, but Ryan still “sparkles” like Edward. You see it in the nighttime sequence. I’ve heard of face reveals on CZcams motovlogger channels but, Vampire reveal? F9 has raised the bar once again!
Best of luck in BC Ryan.
Any day, mate.
That's a low bar
The 800 is a better actress than whats-her-name.
It's always a pleasure to watch these episodes. I'm more of a street rider but my god, this team knows how to capture the experience. Ten thousand thumbs up👍🏻
"But this spike suggests zhe germans did not zhink about sinking kickstands" ~ Ryan F9
Boi made my day
This is CZcams gold
This video kinda reminded me of top gear on its peak... Amazing job guys!
When a youtube video is better than a TV production 10/10
Riveting character development. Touching portrayal of a man and his cherished mount. I laughed, I cried. Oh, yeah, and I got some Motorcycle info too. TY Ryan and crew of dudes. And Ryan's wife, who , unseen, supports these fun shenanigans.
Thanks! ~RF9, ~CrewF9, WifeF9 (Just kidding, I never call her that...)
WTF???
@@FortNine lmao
@@FortNineimagining our paths crossing in Vancouver-- "ah, and you must be WifeF9?"
6:52 don't think we didn't notice you drawing a 9 in the sand!
This video makes me feel like I need to go hug my bike and remind it I love it.
Ryan, this was good, damn good. Steve, Lemmy, and I are jazzed to see you and this bike down here ripping around off-road with us sooner than later! Good luck with the move!
Thanks Spurgeon! Send the Zilla-copter and I'll come for a ride anytime. ~r
6:52 don't think we didn't notice you drawing a 9 in the sand!
You guys have the greatest quality reviews. "The Canadian Top Gear of Motorcycling." - Me
Came here to say 'This!'; leaving satisfied
Way, way, way better than Top Gear.
He’s not the second top gear he’s the first Ryan f9
Cody Troutner so true.
No no no, you're confused... Top gear is the british Fnine of cars
This is still one of my favorite bike reviews anywhere! And it rings true for me...I'm a very imperfect rider, but my F800GS Adventure's imperfections suit me quite well. I love the bike!
Such a perfectly executed beautifully orchestrated edit. Leaps and bounds ahead of content elsewhere. The bikes cool, but the manner in which this was conducted was fucking epic. Keep it up!
I fell in love with my old GS too, then fell out of love the first time I broke something on a trail and realized how expensive BMW parts are.
4 year old comment, but this is the exact reason why BMW aren't getting my money. It's an ADV bike. It's gonna get beat up, and it's going to need replacement parts because of it. VStrom will let you take that money and put it to gas or gear and not to bmw.
these videos have become works of art....everything after the versys
The versy-x review... I may have cried
I got a versys after watching that video :) and I love it so much :)
I actually did cry.
This video helped me finally decide on the bike. Had the technic version for a few years on my desk, but I’ll be riding the real thing by month’s end. Thanks Ryan! Keep up the awesome work!
I actually bought a f800 GSA after watching this video 3 years ago. Love my bike a also did the same upgrades. And tossed my foot peg rubbers in my tool box. I have toller windshield. After my current tires wear out im doing the tubeless conversion. So thanks for the recommendation Ryan I almost bought the Ducati Multistrada.
This is one of the best, if not the all time best video you guys have made, Kudos to you and to your team, and if you end up in southern California with your 800 give me a shout and we'll go ride. cheers.
I didn't say I was right but my opinion is the opposite. Yes it's well produced and well edited but I want to see the bike not an expo on video editing finesse. I expect a deluge of downvotes but I wanted to express some feed back because I honestly think this guy is one of the best reviewers on CZcams. It's just my take that's all.
howardgreenwood , he kind of says it right at the beginning that this is not a bike review, I have kind of a review of the regular f800gs on my channel if you need one
Albe's Adv
I guess he does say that but when the title says bike review I kind of expect that. I'll check out the video you mentioned. :) all good.
I agree with you Albe; I also own a 800GSA and every single comment by Ryan hits the nail on the head. Stats are easy to obtain and mentioned in 85% of every video review out there, no-one needs to spend 5 minutes watching a boring ass repeating them all, again. What is more useful is exactly what you'll find in this incredible review. My conclusion is the same, this bikes imperfections cancel out my imperfections almost perfectly - its Bose noise cancellation in an adventure motorcycle. When I want soppy drool all over my bike I'll take the 1200GSA out, but that stuff is nasty and difficult to clean, I much rather prefer people leave me the hell alone and let me enjoy my solitude and silence when I'm on my time.
i liked the versys300 review better... with the time travel thing
Absolutely the most clever, well made videos on CZcams. Every one is a joy to watch, a pleasure to see how this team will top their last one. Keep it up guys.
man, I keep coming back to this video again and again over the years! it has an emotional connection with me somehow!
I had a Super Tenere as one of my last bikes. Loved it - really suited me well. It was a bike that would do just-about anything you wanted a bike to do. Of all the bikes I owned, I think that was probably the best all-round.
Guys you rock!! Keep up with the great videos, this is the best motorcycle related CZcams channel and by far my favorite.
This is probably the best YT channel I've ever subscribed to. I'm impressed on how good is your story-telling, keep the good work and good luck in Vancouver.
So that's why SCR950 and VStrom aren't presented in his future video. Looking back, what a great choice he made.
This deserves a Director’s Cut Extended version. The garage dark scene transition to nature seen in 55” via chromecast is really good.
There are really good details on this motion picture. Congrats.
Every time an episode ends I’m expecting the cut to the Top Gear studio and the applause and joyous excitement of the audience.
10:59 *holding back tears*
I just found this channel while watching MOTOTREK (caps intentional) and what a find! These are some of the best quality video presentations I've encountered. Lighting, sound, perspective and overall humor is top notch. Keep up the great work and welcome to B.C.
some of the best motorcycle content on CZcams!
It´s absolutely fascinating to watch. I only ride street fighters and sports, haven´t even touched non-asphalt roads and still these, are my favorite videos :)
You guys are doing amazing work, thank you for that!
Your details and cinematography make me want to cry. absolutely stunning
I love the thoughts, the creativity and the over all story telling you put in your videos. You are doing great!
This guy is just freaking awesome!!!! Perfect as it is!!!! Love all the tests and videos!!!! Bless you for your talent!!!!!
Always amazed by your production. Reminds me of the SCR900 video. More entertaining than just a review. Good jobs
Your guys' production value has gone through the roof. Excellent films. Great bike.
Man Your videos are just poetic, something way different compering to other bike videos. My congratulations!!! Absolutely amazing!!! Keep up the good work
Now this IS the cinematography!
N.B. also it's nice to finally find the stories from a tall guy perspective.
Your videos are awesome, I truly love the care and creativity involved, and the insightful criticism of the bikes. Looking forward to a Triumph Tiger "review", hopefully it's in the schedule!
the cinematography and storytelling are some of the finest i've seen in any medium.
I am glad I found your Channel. Easily the best videos about motorcycles I have ever seen.
After that ending, now I gotta go back and look for other movie references... Another great one F9👍👍
Thanks! Yep, Casablanca was the glaringly obvious one but there are more in there ;) ~RF9
Found another: 500 Days of Summer (Expectations vs Reality)
ah so that's what that was! Chapter 2 was Moonrise Kingdom i believe.
God damn I just fell in love with a motorcycle I don’t even like!
I drive a super sport and I still love this video...
amazes me how much effort fortnine puts into writing the script for these youtube videos. great going.
The production quality is just amazing. Wow.
Guys your reviews are stunning. just love them.
How long are you filming for such a video? Must be a crazy amount of time XD
Anyway, greetings from Luxembourg
I think we were 3-4 days shooting this one! Pre-production and editing takes about the same time on either end. ~RF9
@@FortNine Great job, like really great job . I've watched like 60 of your videos in last 2 days and they are all story telling beauties of cinematography.
I want to get my bike license and here in Europe (Cro) we have A1 (125 cm/11KW), A2 (35 kW), & A (No limit except age min24 or 20 with A2license for 2 years).
Since i'm old and lazy i've went straight for A , which means I learn on bike of min 600 cm3 & 40kw which is hard to control . I already leaned it stopping, as it was 240kg Aprilia Shiver which i found very hard to steer and violent on gas.
In the meantime i broke arm in totally unrelated accident and now I'm checking all the cool instructional videos (mostly yours) that will help me master bike riding more then my instructor . Thanks for that . What i didn't check is how to service bikes , like you have what to service and when but it would be really interesting to see details of changing tire , replacing chain, and so on... but on level of detail you do it , minimal effective tools ( as well to have with you in case of emergency fix on long roads) , what to watch out when positioning and why.
Personally I plan to buy smaller used bike (eg.Versys-X 300) and do practice on it , getting feel for road and cornering , and then something like this 800GSA to travel the world (midlife crisis) for few months so doing tire swap or some other basic fixes you came up to with your driving history would be much appreciated .
All the best in future and safe driving .
@@veselipastir Check MCrider channel for great instructional videos, on both skills and strategy.
No one competes on the artistic element with Fortnine though. :)
Watching it 2019. Still good vid.
The video quality is second to none, absolutely fantastic work
I feel like running to the nearest dealer and getting ANY adventure bike after watching this...and I've been a cruiser guy my whole riding life! These videos are very well made, kudos!
After 4 years, if you still wondering what that song is: *Autumn in Paris - Jan Baars*
Makes me cry in the end every time I watch this!
I drove a BMW F800GSA (2013) for almost 2 years straight: first from the Netherlands to the North Pole in Scandinavia, after that to the most southern point of Europe. Stayed in the Canary Islands for the winter, after that we went through basically the rest of Europe (apart from the Baltic states), Turkey, Georgia, Armenia, Iran, Pakistan and finally India.
In total it was about 55.000km, I literally had 0 issues with the bike. Apart from basic stuff such as a couple of flat tires and a chain/sprocket replacement. Even the low quality gasoline in countries such as Iran & Pakistan was no problem.
It's a FANTASTIC all-rounder; to this day I'm still super happy with it!
The production value of your videos. Incredible. Script and execution. Brilliant. In a world with CZcamsrs like DoItWithDan this is absolutely necessary.
Just touched heart. This is awesome video. The best
I own an F800GSA and I agree with everything you said. I had a 1200GSA (2012) for two years... Hated it. I rode a few bikes and was sold on the (2014) F800GSA and I am very happy with that choice and have done many off-road adventure trips.
Man this is pure gold of motorbike reviews ryan and team.. I always end up confused from your videos though.. do I appreciate the bike more or your cinematography or the presented content or the puns.. hope Vancouver brings us more of this fun content .. bravo..
Your the best in my book, on the motorcycle community that's on here. Just got a 800gs used but looks brand new. Love this bike being as tall as iam. Thanks for your vids.
I've been coming back and watching all the adventure bike reviews again, and now I can't wait for your review on the new Tenere 700.
He seriously considered replacing the 800 with the tenere, but he didn't.
@@sivvinod3187 Didn't he say he is considering it for when his BMW has to go to the shop in the sky?
@@patw9175 nah he said "if anyone wants a used beemer, hit me up" which shows that he seriously considered selling it, but from his new video about crashes, he still uses his bmw
@@sivvinod3187 I ended up buying a T7 a 2 weeks ago. I've owned at least one of every major type of motorcycle (this is my first adv bike) and it's by far my favorite. I ride it like a big supermoto on the street and a heavy dirtbike off road, and it will still do 90mph on the highway for as long as there's gas in the tank. Love it :D
@@patw9175 ye it's a great bike, just wish they started selling it in more markets.
This whole video feels like a Wes Anderson movie, and I love it
Directing,Editing,Performing and all the info and script are superb. Top gear Influence is OTT and i love it. Every single video is Brilliant!
Again you’re videos make me laugh and my day improves. Thank you for being you.
Always great watching your videos. As an owner of a KTM 950 and F800GSA, I can tell you the 800 is not a bad bike.
An aftermarket windscreen like the Puig, Andreani fork cartridges, and a better seat will make your ride so much better.
Regardless this made me fall in love with it.
One of the best reviews I've seen, well done man. 👍🏻
Love your reviews! Honest, to the point and good video to go with the narration. Speaking of narration you have a pleasant speaking voice. Your knowledge comes across in your voice. These traits are obvious when people are insincere or pretending to be a motorcyclist. I have had many types and brands of motorcycles and am always researching what my next ride will be. The wanting a new ride is part of the fun, as is the research! You just got a like and a subscriber! Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing!
man this videos are lit AF
Ryan! you're leaving us??!!! nooo!!
glad you found your new love of a bike. I love my 8GS...it doesn't do everything amazingly..but it does everything perfectly fine.
I finally know why you moved from Montreal!!! Thought I'm sad that you will not show me new places in Quebec that I would discover (I'm a very new rider), it always gives me great pleasure to see your videos. Thank you and thank you for continuing to do some more.
Best 8GSA review I've ever seen. Couldn't be better. Thanks for that.
One word.
Beautiful :')
Thanks for the awesome bike review. I also own an f800gsa and I'm loving it too. 18 months and 17.000 kms of dirt roads later still feels great. Please follow up your review soon. Part 2 is expected.
Never stop what you’re doing
I love this video's.
This is my favorite CZcams Channel
Not just because you are Canadian but I have gotten more information and entertainment from you and your team.
Thank you for this look forward to 2020 with all of you.
Ryan, another wonderfully watchable movie. I don't ride motorbikes yet, though I plan to (Rookie to Rider this year hopefully). I'm not sure if the reality will match up to the expectations but in the meantime I'm really enjoying your narrative, personable and wholly original content - and that's a very qualified statement as I watch a huge amount of motorbike videos. Keep them coming and thank you. (there a significant time-gap between this comment and publish date for the film above, I wonder of your thoughts on the latest f850 gs? And the 750?) Hope Vancouver worked out, it seems so...:-)
Will there be a headquarters out here in Vancouver? A store perhaps? We are lacking in gear stores out here. Can’t wait to see videos with BC as the backdrop
Stupendous cinematography, diction & information dissemination as always :)
Totally get your point: some imperfections give a bike character and that BMW F800GS Adventure has tons of it. Great video!
I'm searching for a new bike and am deciding between the tiger, the gs800, and the ktm 1090r. These last videos have made me very happy.
I like the 1090r the 125hp is a lot more than tiger 800 africa twin and this (f800gsa) but the price is almost as much as 2 bikes.
Get a Tiger. I made a full south america trip on mine and didn't have a single issue. Engine is more powerful than GS and sound is beautiful.
Depends how you see power. The 800 twin has more torque. And even revs lower at highway speed. Than the triple. There isn't anything to really say about the 800 rotax engine it's completlly sole less probably the most boring engine ever.
Iv'e gone right off the twin headlights on the tiger, and still can't get past the welded frame rear pegs and one piece frame construction. The switchgear on the handle bars is rather massive too
Follow your heart..in this case I will go for Katoom..unique bike..the Orange country is wider..it can fit any category..
5:28 I was thinking "or you could just pile up rocks... every time you stop".
Then the next shot with a pile of rocks under the kick stand.
Perfect.
Damn, I love your reviews. This one especially. Talking about your motorcycle with love. Best passion in the world.
Your videos that include the v-strom 1000 are helping me a bunch, I know that wasn't the point on this vid but it's good to see that there are more dirt worthy bikes that aren't $15k us dollars. I am in the process of getting myself a 2014 v-strom 1000 and I think now more than ever I'm not changing my mind to anything else. Me having a motocross bike means my on road bike doesn't have to take me that far off-road. So for me I think the v-strom will be perfect.
I can't find your review of the Tiger 800?
Because there wasn't one
When this video came out, I'd already enjoyed my GS800 for over a year, but was still open to the idea of an 'upgrade'. Now it's 2022, I've tried every competitor from Honda, Yamaha, KTM and even BMW (including the 850s and 900s) and I'm still riding my '13 GS800. Admittedly I upgraded the fork springs, fitted a spicy end can, and have 17" wheels for summer tarmac/track duty, but it's a very boring, very dull, very competent motorcycle that seems impossible for me to replace. Love/hate/love.
Paint it.Red.And white.Instant "dullness" removal.Thats what I did !!
I’m still in the same place - although I also have a rear shock upgrade. Never stop being told I should buy an KTM890adv by friends and I’ve tried them loads of times, along with the T7 and I just can’t see why I would change? My 800gs just keeps plodding along, doing its thing never making a fuss. It gets abused on the trails and left caked in mud for weeks and rarely misses a beat or fails to start. It gets up all the technical sections the others do and cruises happily on the tarmac in between.
This is not a video. This is not a review. This is an homage.
Beautifully done.
Amazing! I just bought a gently used 2014 GSA. Now I’m waiting for the winter to begone so I can ride it 😅. Love your content!
Hey f9, great vid, I also believe the f800 has it's own place among the adventure lineup, and I fully support everything you said about the rig. Please do a honda nc750x review, I've owned one for a month now and I truly think this kind of a commuter/adventure bike is rather unique and would be an interesting subject for a motorcycle review video. Keep up the great vids!
DCT version, please! :)
I used to own a 2012 NC700X that I traded in for a 2016 F800GS (non Adventure version). I'm in love with my GS, but there's just some things from the NC that I miss dearly, namely that frunk (front trunk). Nothing beat being able to store your helmet there and your jacket in a top case in the summer and being free of gear when you reached your destination!
4:39 that is still one of my favorite comments on a video, ever hahaha xD and it is also true.
Watched the video a number of times, bought a 2015 GSA in 2018 lightly used, put 5,000 miles on it, 60/40 road dirt. Watched the video again to confirm my experience. Am spending New Year Day watching videos on upgrading fork springs, been in touch with Ted Porter Beemer Shop on choice of rear shock upgrade this winter. Will be taking it from Cape Cod to the Dempster Highway this summer. I lIke it more than my riding partner’s 2008 R1200 GSA. And of course I very much like the F9 videos. Well done.
I like the little flex with the KEF's in the background.
Still waiting on that Triumph Tiger review
Keep up the good work
Yes triumph tiger review pls
Hey! It says you rode the Tiger XCx in the sand... where's the review???
These reviews of yours are piece of art. Keep up!
Because of this video I went to my local dealership and bought a completly new F 800 GS Adventure with all the extras and I love it so much thx
Hi Ryan ! Can you do a Triumph Tiger 800 and 1200 review please? Great videos btw!
