Yamaha SCR950 Review at fortnine.ca 

Ryan: Perfect normal guy Ryan with sunglasses: King of the canadian mafia

Wow, awesome production quality and content. Amazing.

These reviews need to be nominated for some award. Oscar, Tony, Grammy... Whatever! The world needs to recognize the quality and effort that went into these type of reviews

Awesome yet again. You take bike vids to a whole new level. Very inspirational.

I will repeat this forever, the scene with the cards falling on the bike is a MASTERPIECE

Great video. Probably the most enjoyable bike review I've ever seen. You almost made that SCR seem interesting. The bike isn't interesting, but this video sure was.

Your editing was the best part of this whole bikes life!

F9 (Ryan) is very enjoyable to listen to; his video clips. Albeit: gear, bikes, safety tips or common sense ideas. His success comes from his demeanor of a balanced well delivered message. His approach is absent of aggressive, non essential adjectives or misleading subjective rhetorical marketing language. I can, as well as all others out here in cyber space appreciate his reviews. His creative side can be , well, goofy-corny....... but its all good and relate to get the point of emphasis across. Go Ryan!!

Much better for taller riders than a Bolt. Same belt drive for no chain maintenance. I would repaint the gas tank and add knee grip pads. Remove the side number plates, and add handmade brass triangular shaped covers. Or just move up to a Yamaha Tracer 900 or 900GT.

One true story right there! Beautifully done!

best reviews in youtube by far!!

Everyone hates this bike and somehow you make it sound cool. Love it! haha

Very creative video. Should be some sort of awards category for content this good. Thanks, enjoyed watching :-)

Why are you so fucking good at this?

Cheers for another ♠ vid 😊 One on the KTM 1090R would make my Day!

Probably the only guy who earned all his subscribers without begging them to subscribe.

Somewhere, some overpriced production team is screaming about this guy being able to do their job for nuthin

That shot of the bike with the cards falling is just absolutely incredible

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Lock, stock and two smoking carburators!

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. 💯💯💯

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

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!

Where's the "Directed by Guy Ritchie" credit?

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

2019 and this is literally one of the smoothest, most technically amazing bike reviews I've ever seen. Stunning O.o

You guys are making the best content on RU-vid

10 mins 39 secs of the best motorcycle review ever. Have watched it three times now, still shaking my head. Brilliant.

Dig the production quality. Cheers!

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.

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.

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

Ryan, this video is so good, it suppose to run in cinemas, not on youtube.

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

Amazing job. I'm getting the scr950.

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

Three years later, they released the true scrambler: the Ténéré 700

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!

hunter s. thompson writes a bike review :D

This is a beautiful mix of Steven Soderebergh and Guy Ritchie. And that’s not even to mention the bike review.

...that text box doesn't say "FLICKABLE" :)

I keep watching this review over and over... Brilliant art! ....Also got the 950... Keep up the good work!

McQueen would be proud...

Every Yamaha dealership should be running this behind a Scarmbler motorcycle sitting on the showroom floor. On a loop.

I pity the poor slob who had to pick all those cards up! (great job chaps!)

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.

I smell Guy Ritchie's Lock, Stock and two Smoking Barrels in the air

Hey Ryan, do you write the scripts yourself or you guys employ writers at Fort Nine?

I feel like I need to pay to watch this video!

First name Skid last Name Mark, but they call me the Brown Streak.

The production quality and this team is just unreal... I always watch their videos on repeat... never got bored...

Wow, Extremely great production quality. Proud to be Canadian.

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

Is anyone else watching these as much for the production value as the motorcycle content? I know I am.

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

damn the production quality on your reviews is through the roof , easily the best motorcycle reviews out there . Love all the work you guys do.

Great work guys - very informative and entertaining...and I ride a Guzzi...

Holy crap… I saw the comment section and thought people were being a bit over the top. But what an awesome production! That was AMAZING!!!!

I really like RevZilla, their reviews are top notch. But this is on whole another level. Keep it up guys, you truly are the best

If I didn't know better I would have thought this was a big money production video. Well done! Makes me want to get a SCR950 and blast around the mesa behind my house.

How the fuck this only has 60k views???

Bloody fantastic vid. As an owner of an SCR950, I'll stand a little taller now. And when my Conti Trail Attack 2 wear out, it's back to knobbies for me. I went to the dealer in 2017 to purchase an NOS 2014 CB1100 for an amazing $7800. Standing right next to it was the SCR with a hand written placard, "$3999". I told the salesman, "Never mind, I'll take that one". I know I would have liked the 1100 Honda more, but really, a 950 for $4k? With the money I saved I purchased a Kuryakyn velocity stack with K&N filter, a Power Commander, and an Akarapovic pipe. I recently added a Motea parcel rack. My only real complaint it the instrument - the chrome bezel has no place anywhere the sun shines, and the fact that the well sharpened right foot peg is slicing up my jeans and boots.

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!

Sir, you are the Quentin Tarantino of motorcycle reviews.

Never seen such a great review with story behind it. Great job, enjoyed every second of it.

Great review and production...a shame about the bike. Sorry people but i don't get this "scrambler" fad. A near 40 year old XR, XL, or XT would wipe its tailpipe with aformentioned scrambler. Give me a dualsport any day. Why does this weirdo bike even exist? I like weird, but most have something to love about them. Sorry Ryan and Yamaha. I loved the video and production, the writing and execution of the story.

This is brilliant, I assume "Skid's" last name is......wait for it........Mark!

Erm... my Ducati Scrambler 1100 shits on that monstrocity. Let's be real, today's scramblers are not designed for off road. They're pretty echoes of a time we can't faithfully capture in our modern world. Like roller skating or drive-in cinema. In that case, I say buy the bike that moves you most. The europeans have got that in spades 😉

Why would they use a belt instead of a chain on that bike?

I think this is one of those Bikes that will Not teach you the Body of Motorcycling but it will teach you the Heart, motorcycling is Not about who has the fastest Bike, who can get His knee down the Most or who has the Most expensive Gear... I come from germany where all the young Riders either have 25cc, 50cc, 80cc or 125cc... We tend to have more fun than the "real Riders" who think being a proper Motorcyclist is either about having the fastest Supersport or the Most expensive Adventurebike that will never even See a dirt Road... We have cheap Bikes with 15 horsepower at max. Ive Seen a YZF-R125 Beat a DT125 Offroad. For us it doesnt Matter If you Ride a Vintage 50cc 2 Stroke or a modern 125cc Supermoto... We are Family, we ride only for Our own enjoyment and Not to Feed our ego's. when i get a Bigger Bike i Wish i can get an XT500 (Always Been my dreambike together With a certain Vintage 50cc Bike) but this Bike i also Love. I can See me and my Friends reflecting in that. I can See all the laughs and Joy the Rider will have when owning this Bike... This isnt Just a cheap Cash Grab to Feed the hipsters... This is Motorcycling at its purest. This is... Art

Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels. I'm digging these film homages.

No discussion of scramblers can be held without mentioning The Godfather of them all, the 1967 Norton P11/1968 P11A Ranger which dominated desert racing for years.

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

Recently I have studied the Ducati 800 Dessert Sled and the brand new 1100 Scrambler .. very nice bikes .. but the Indian FTR-1200 smokes them @ 123 HP .. In 2021 I think Harley will have a Scrambler out that will be heavier and cost way more than the Yamaha ..

This was by far, the best Review i´ve seen so far Wish more Reviews come in this style! keep it up

I had a TR1 for many years, and it is deffinately not a Harly copy, it is a HRD Vincent copy... Where I live, it is called the Plastic Vincent. Just look at at the rear suspencion, and the engine as a part of the frame. But I like your channel a lot, appreciate your efford, and always feel both intertained and have learned something when I watch it. ;o)

"Tease a 6th gear that doesn't exist" If that's not the most accurate statement about scramblers I've ever heard, I don't know what Is!

This production quality is amazing.

This bike came out in 2017, it's nearly 3/4 the way through 2020 and Australia STILL hasn't got it yet...

Great production, cool angle, neat insights and on and on, but be careful. Topping your last ~bit~ may become more important than good art. Geez though, fantastic stuff. S

These videos are timeless. I watch them ALL regardless of date and have never been disappointed. My only regrets are always disposable income..........

i love how he also reviewed all the other scramblers in 10 seconds at the end

This channel is TopGear/TheGrandTour equivalent of Motorcycles, holy fuck the quality of the videos...

Great video, as always. Top quality. I think the comma in the subscribers counter should be at least 1-2 digits to the right. I bought a slightly used SCR950 this year. No regrets. I like the way it looks, i like the way it sounds and i just love riding it. Sitting position is "confusing" at first, but you get used to it pretty quickly. After 6k+ miles in two months i have to say that this is my favorite bike so far.

The production, and in fact the writing, in this video is stellar. Easily as good as anything BBC Top Gear produced when they were at the top of their game. Bravo!

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

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.

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.

Saying this thing is a scrambler is like saying they are replacing bulls in rodeos with household cats....

I want to thank this review for finding my motorcycle for the rest of my life... Thanks Ryan.... You pointed out history, and remembering that bike are to be modified by individuals who appreciate their own personal machine, thanks again.

You should be working in Hollywood. The production quality gets me there.

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!

I love the my Yamaha SCR950. The trick is buying it super cheap since no one wanted them. Never bought a new cycle so bloody inexpensive. Most people believe its an old re-conditioned 70's style Yamaha, I just let them think what they want.

MAN!! This is the best production i've ever seen in a motorcycle video!!

Very entertaining way to explain what a crap this 950 is 🤣😳😁🥂🍓

How do they make such a good and interesting video about something that could be so simple and boring. Love it
