BMW F800GS Adventure Review at fortnine.ca 

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! !

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.

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... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JubFlTJKyJ0.html

LOLO REY channel disliked and reported for spam

Pratham Aggarwal that channel looks like every other motorcycle channel lol

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

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

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 RU-vid 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.

same

Same!

Yeah there is! My mom hosts the RU-vid Oscars. In her living room. And I do win every year... ~RF9

FortNine Lol, congratulations on your perfect record... #F9reviewHimalayan

Streamy’s

@@FortNine I want this to be true

WTF???

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

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?"

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!

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

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.

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 RU-vid. 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

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.

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.

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.

I drive a super sport and I still love this video...

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. :)

Ditto haha

😅 me too. I was not sure what to get. I was already leaning towards the F800 and this video helped me make up my mind. Bought a gently used 2014 GSA, fully loaded with lots of aftermarket upgrades. Now I’m waiting for the winter to be gone in Northern Canada, so I can ride it!

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.

Round up the usual suspects.

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..

Yes triumph tiger review pls

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!

Because there wasn't one
