The ending is a masterpiece. The academy should give it 100 awards

Hilarious!! 😂

Agree with 100%

Great ending!

After watching this (and laughing until I cried) I had to rewatch The Godfather yet again.

Lmao the t7 piggy bank hahahahhah

Another masterpiece 😊 Nobody comes even close to match what you guys do. This was so entertaining, thanks. Great job 😊

This entire video is why I love watching F9. Amazing video quality, honest and well thought out review…but that ending was, magnifico!!!

Vaaaa absolutely great

I actually worked out a amazing deal with my Ducati dealership, I just drive it around inside the dealership and I never have to worry about my bike braking down.

@freeheelsak [grate song]

Do bikes brake down or break down?

I paid to the designer.

oh you are riding it already, I bought mine and left it in the store :)

Best content creator on YT. I don't even ride anymore and still watch every single one of your videos and get depressed when they end knowing I have already seen all the old videos. Please don't change!

The fact this man and his team continually put out better and better content that is already way above the bar for motorcycle review channels is crazy.

@Josh War Rey YES!

Ryan and team are fantastic! The

This is cinema, which just happens to have motorcycle content

@Shaun Stephens Still far fewer than he deserves though tbf. There's trash content that gets ten times the engagement.

@Sports Entertainer Oh I think that the videos are great and Ryan is a very talented presenter. I just read one too many gushing comments I guess.

This definitely encourages me to stick with my trusty Japanese thumper (DR650)! No driving modes, no logic modules, no expensive mandatory dealer visits; just you and the machine. Love the video nevertheless!!

I use a thumper all the way from California to Argentina on 65 days... Only thing I change was the chain and tires. With me rode a couple 650GS with thousands of problems. The most uncomplicated motorcycle i owned.

@Rya 31 That was one of the skills of the old top gear. They could love something but still trash it (like he did on the Dealer X, the overpriced tank, the loose parts, etc.). Its not perfect, its not for everyone, but it was for him.

@Rya 31 true dat!

I do appreciate how Ryan (and to that, F9) can produce a somewhat bias conclusion, while showing how ridiculous it is.

The production quality on this is out of this world! Well done chaps

This is with no doubt one of the best reviews for a motorbike that I have ever seen.

@K N I am a novice rider so I will take your experience as more valid than mine.

@lascosasdemimenda yep I get the relationship of weight distribution to grip, I’ve competed in multiple disciplines including road racing for 35 years and his body positioning to motorcycle lean looks disproportionate.

@K N I guess that it's a matter of trying his way and see if it fits your riding stile. It makes sense to me how the weight distribution works on the tire grip performance. But I guess it depends on the rider.

@lascosasdemimenda watched and still don’t see any purpose in it

@K N you should watch their video about corner leaning to understand why he leans that way. Makes total sense.

Really brilliant. Technically sound, informative and enormously entertaining. thanks so much Fortnine!

I legitimately laughed out loud. By far one of my favorite video’s you’ve ever made! 😂

Same here.

You guys rock, keep up the amazing work. This is the best moto review video I’ve ever seen! Equal parts entertainment and information. Incredible

Was close to that when I bought my Desert Sled 2018, imagine now with de "Dealer X". I did not make to the second Ducati Service and went straight to my local mechanic to do it for a 1/4 of the price. 40,000Km later, Desert Sled still in great shape and no problems at all.

The only motorcycle review I ever watched twice, back to back. This is classic!

Me too!

Just when you think you have seen it all in terms of motorcycle reviews, you top it out again! Amazing edit!

🔝Congratulations🤷‍♂️ Thanks for watching 💝 💞 Massage me, I have something (bigger) to introduce

Amazing video and thank you for breaking it down!! Despite the economic downturn, I'm so happy😊I have been earning $ 60,000 returns from my $7,000 investment every 12days

Wow investment portfolio on a motorcycle review. Talk about stupid

Yes and me too investing is the fastest way to Financial freedom. It's not too late to start preparing for a financially and secured future, investing is building wealth

My last week trading with him was massive boom 💥🤯

Thank you for this. Will definitely reach out to him now. Thanks again

Trade with him and remember to share testimonies with others 🇨🇦

Motorcycle is the vehicle we choose to have an adventure. Reliability and cost are important factors for "adventure" riders. That is why that kind of bikes are definitely not ideal for the average biker. Great performance in most of the cases is just unnecessary. We buy cheap and reliable bikes and use the money to travel and explore new places. I am a fun of f9 but in this review they only considered the on and off road performance to come to a conclusion. Factors like Long term reliability, maintenance cost , troubleshooting in remote places away from dealerships, spare parts costs, problems in case of low quality fuel and others are also crucially important.

There are motorcycle reviews on YouTube, and then there is RyanF9. Just on another level.

As a previous owner of 2 Ducatis, I can confirm that this is the exact procedure to buy them......

This is gold! I love how accurately you portrayed almost every other motorcycle reviewer 🤣

It's the best of the Meerkat Motorcycles, allowing petite poseurs an opportunity to stand on the pegs as they weave through traffic, as I saw one doing on the Throgs Neck Bridge a few weeks ago. Hey, it's the kind of "adventure" riding people who really own these machines do in the real world.

I stand on my pegs on my Suzuki GS500 to be more visible to traffic on a daily basis. The bike is just so small, without a visual flex to notify other motorists I think I'd be in the E.R by now.

The fact that you guys are obviously having a blast doing these just makes them all the sweeter.

🔝Congratulations🤷‍♂️ Thanks for watching 💝 💞 Massage me, I have something (bigger) to introduce**

Ryan, you’re not just the best in this business, you’re by far the most entertaining act across anything I watch on YouTube as a whole.

The quality is just next level. Like watching genuine old tv show with actual quality, compared to the shallow stuff we see everywhere today.

I never thought Ducati could make me want another bike after my Multistrada heartbreak… but they got me again

this should be the standard for every review ever. thank you F9 guys for maybe showing the moto-journalists the way... ;)

Brilliant…..loved it. Thx to everyone who put this together.

I laughed my ass off. What a great video you guys just did!!!

Don’t think I’ve ever laughed this hard on a motorcycle review…Let alone a Ducati review. Absolutely brilliant, Ryan & Team!!

So what if the cost of a ride is sitting on my tool? "A ride for a ride" has worked for centuries. Gas, grass, or ass... On a motorcycle, at least your shoulder blades stay warm.

@allonsye you mean "Desmo!" :)

Amen

@DuzBee 7

Agreed! Pure entertainment and informative…. Brilliant

I am now watching your channel since it was born and small, and i love to see, how it grown up, you guys deserve it! Btw, my girlfriend dont like that bike, it remindes her of a jumping spider, greetings from Switzerland!

That close was the best yet. Loved it. Great content.

It’s really fun watching all the comics F9 has to offer! 😂

Ryan should be named a national treasure of Canada! 😂

@J LG - I couldn’t agree more. I’d vote for Ryan! If nothing more than to allow lane-splitting. 🤣

🔝🔝🔝🔝🔋

He should definitely replace the current Prime Minister!

You guys have always been able to put out great videos for years without sponsors, but now that you guys have sponsored videos, I realize how much you were doing with so little. You guys have amazing videos and the quality seems to have gotten better and more entertaining since sponsors came on board. A worthy investment, keep up the great work guys, you'll make me into an ADV rider yet!

@Andrew Weitzman True, they'd surely do something hilarious and absurd with it. More than just having a guy counting money in the background. Regularcars did a pretty good take on it, putting the thing on a snare drum and letting it rattle around, saying "We did your sponsor thing, now give us money!"

@Quill Maurer I would honest pay good money for Ryan and the F9 team to do a Manscaped shill segment. I am not sure what would come out. But it would definitely be memorable.

@Colossal Biff Linus started the channel working for NCIX and then asked for it when they started branching out and he wanted to go out on his own. I was drawing a parallel although so far ryan hasn’t run off and made it his own. A channel with a energetic host who in fact works for a company, where you bond much more with the host then the store.

The earlier videos were more gear-reviews focused, relating to the products they sold. Gradually they've become more creative, more focused on exploring the motorcycling world and all its quirks, less attached to their business. And the sponsorships they have are relevant to their content, usually equipment they use in making their own videos as seen here - none of the usual Manscaped and Raid Shadow Legends and Squarespace or whatever. Given the credibility this channel has built up I doubt they'd take a sponsorship they didn't believe in.

@Mawyman2316 how so, isn't that just linuse's company now

HAHAHA the Ducati buying part was hilarious!

This was great on multiple levels... 👍👍

Adventure bike my arse, if it needs 45 minutes to get to the air filter, it is not an ADV bike....bloody bikes are getting way to complicated for the average rider. Absolutely one of the best Ryan...thank you for making us mortals laugh through out the year.

Best video ever on a Ducati 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣… Im still crying.. along with the baby 🤣

Never had as much fun watching a review!

Ducati seem to have done a decent job on what is sort of their first real ADV bike. But, the serious flaws I see (not mentioned here but mentioned in Motorcycle Adventure Dirtbike's vid are the completely unsealed cam belt area (HUGE design failure), and total lack of serviceability of the air filter. Interesting, but I'll keep my 890 R with it's lower price, better suspension, lower CG, better aftermarket, etc.

🔝Congratulations🤷‍♂️ Thanks for watching 💝 💞 Massage me, I have something (bigger) to introduce*

Crazy seeing ducati going from not answering your calls, to allowing you to poke fun at them a little bit in one of their stores

Greatest video yet by a stretch, just fantastic!! And you renounced Yamaha, KTM AND BMW!!! Genius!!!!!

I own a Beemer, and it's a bike that by design simply refuses to be upsetting. But in those truly rare instances...because I MYSELF SCREWED UP (AHEM!)...it becomes a matter of thrusting my arms into the West Virginia atmosphere, spreading my hands apart, and pleading with the Lord in the Highest a brief explanation of Why did You allow me to buy THIS??? After then begging Him forgiveness, I repent and ride, seeking perfection and other Beemer aficionados on the backroads. Which simply won't be found here in the Mountain State... Yamahas can be seen here in the Mid Ohio River Valley , but KTMs are as rarely seen as the elusive Sasquatch. And a Merry Christmas to ye, good Sir!

When I saw the video title I already thought about good jokes on ducati, their reliability and maintenance and its incompatibility with the term "adventure". Only to realize that the entire video is a joke about that... Well played, Sir.

Ducati DesertX, two desertE's and a beretta 93r sounds like a recipe for a urban insurgency... So long as you visit the dealership first lol

Man what a pile of beauty. I don’t know any other way to describe that motorcycle.

As always, interesting and original, hats off to you.

🔝🔝🔝🔝🔋🔋

Hands down THE BEST bike review video of all time! As a duc owner I can wholeheartedly identify with the "getting made" buying experience, the "WTF were they thinking" on the cheap ass components, and the "Holy SHIT, this is the greatest bike in the world" feeling, all in the same moment!

mehhh. my toureg disagrees

@Dirt Pony Oh, it's impossible to quit, my dear friend 😂 As a 3rd generation Ducatista from a family of Ducatisti, I perfectly know that ours is more a kind of obsession rather than a rational choice. Luckily, I'm from Rome so plenty of Ducati authorized mechanics here. I had Monster, Panigale 899, Panigale 959 and now a Panigale V2 Bayliss that I love it... yet my real dream is the new Panigale V4 SP2: those carbon winglets and that beautifully disturbing matt black livery with red details: OH MIO DIO!!! To die for. Unluckily, my girlfriend already told me that she would dump me immediately if I only dare to show up with a war machine like that... and maybe she'd be right: you know, honestly, I'm not exactly a pilot and 155HP already are more than enough for me, let alone 215HP... it would be nothing but insane. We just had a baby, it would be very cruel to me to make him an orphan 😂. But Borgo Panigale flows in my veins, there's nothing I can do about it: Semper Fidelis.

@Davide Ascanio Visconti Borghese My husband who is a diehard Suzuki man agrees with you and desperately wishes I would quit my obsession with Ducati and BMW. But.... I'm contractually obligated and signed with a blood oath. It's too late for me but perhaps this will serve as a warning and save another. 😉

Italian bikes are obviously the most beautiful ones by far BUT foreigners should buy them only if they have an official mechanic authorized by the brand nearby or, alternatively, a very skilled one as they're built with a very different philosophy than japanese bikes as the latters are mass-produced bike sold everywhere in the world in terms of millions so is abolutely needed that even a Burkina Faso 3-fingered mechanic (with all due respect) must be able to fix them, easily. On the contrary, Italian bikes are often built by small or medium, high quality brands (ever heard of Moto Morini and their HAND-MADE bikes like the Milano 1200cc or the Super Scrambler with the same engine? I mean, at least until 2-3 years ago, sadly now it's a Chinese-owned brand and their bikes, even if still designed in Italia are completely different beasts) and basically sold in developed countries only and in terms of thousands (not millions): these bikes have basically no play and zero tolerance among their components, then is absolutely fundamental that only very, very skilled mechanics that already know'em should put their hands on them. Otherwise, your expensive, beautiful Ducati, MV Agusta, Aprilia et al will spend more time broken than fixed. I don't know if my message is clear as English is only my 3rd language behind Italiano, my native tongue, and Français but that's a very important thing that every foreigner should understand before buying an Italian bike: no authorized mechanic nearby? Well, than buy Honda or Yamaha: sure, less beautiful and a bit aseptic... but far less headaches, trust me.

@Tim H truly the goth gf of motorcycling

That ending is worth "all my respect Don F9".

this is the best bike review. the creativity at the end is immaculate

Take a look at Charly Sinewan Moto vlog, extreme adventurer. He has recently changed his 800 GS for a Ducati Desert X, and he literally puts it through very harsh off road. The ultimate test!

Just when I thought I was done with F9, they pull me back in.

From the ending, I could tell there is a sequel in the works.

That man needs a bigger show , brilliant review

Brilliant vid, like always - could we get a video on the best heated gloves for winter season??

Klim

Always fun to watch your stuff 😊

Great vid, very entertaining, and all the reasons I ever needed on why I will never buy one!

I'm really hoping for a review of the Aprilia Tuareg 660. I've heard good things about it. That it was pretty up there with a Tenere 700. So I'd love to see Ryan do a review of it

Up there? It is a huge upgrade from the Tenere, but also more expensive of course.

It is pretty special. I've only spent a day on one, so I'm hoping to get a Tuareg for longer to make a video. ~RF9

He sold his soul to get the bike now he is a real Ducateristi 🤣🤟🤟

OMG, I love you so much!!! 🤪😂🤣 one of your best videos!!! But I can’t (actually I can) believe you bought this! But it’s awesome, enjoy the ride and I’m sure you will !!!!

🔝🔝🔝🔝🔋🔋

😍 this channel as usual great video great review!

20 Large for the first year? Ouch! I will be living vicariously to the life, liberty and pursuit of happiness with this machine as the months roll by...

The ending… you guys are out of control 😂😂

Good LORD!! Amazing review with all the tongue n cheek and outright humor (“it’s only funny cuz it’s so dang true “)! Bravo! Bellisimo!!( or however they say that)

I rarely laugh at loud at anything short of stand up comedy but somehow Ryan always makes me laugh, and educates me at the same time. Amazing!

Amazing! And the bottom line is: if you’re willing to take all that BS from Ducati it is the best ADV bike out there…😂😂

i love fortnine videos.always fun to watch and educational

ISRAEL DO NOT REPLAY TELEGRAMS IT’S a SCAM

I wish I could give more then one thumbs up. Amazing work, again.

🔝Congratulations🤷‍♂️ Thanks for watching 💝 💞 Massage me, I have something (bigger) to introduce**

"Fill out this chart with every adventure bike I've ridden..." and once again we see that Ryan F9 has ignored the DR650SE, a bike that more RTW travelers choose than any other....

🔝🔝🔝🔝🔋

You guys make the greatest content on youtube and the best motorcycle videos period

Interesting but, im never interested in owning a Ducati. That loose seat? Wow. Japanese motorcycles 4 life. I don't care if they perform slightly less. They are more reliable, less expensive, and easier to work on.

ending was spactacular. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 I ❤ this channel

That was amazing! You kept the tribute to the Godfather perfect!

Another masterpiece 👏👏

This is my favourite episode ever. 1000/10

i always watch your videos only on my tv i like your filming its pro grade and reminds me GRAND TOUR episodes.

How did I just found this channel now? Great editing, sound and above all the amazing presentation from this guy at the level of Richard Hammond! Good Job and keep up the good work...

Go back two, three, and more years, when Aneesh was still the editor and cinematographer; the quality then was even above this video. Ryan still does the witty writing and spiffy presenting, but the rest is not on the same level any longer. Those years, when Ryan and Aneesh worked solely as a duo, brought forth arguably the best motorcycle content ever made for YouTube. Truly masterful.

You’re in for a treat. There’s plenty masterpieces in the back catalog. Best moto content in YT

Great video you guys are awesome!!

Didn't think I'd ever see Ryan buying a Ducati in this lifetime

"Ducati shall give him an offer he can't refuse" - Don Corleone

@ReaLzEdits Yes, but he also said later that he on principle never buys a new motorcycle. So he has been waiting for a used T7. If he did now decide to buy a new Ducati that is him not only giving up on T7, but also on his priciples. Kind of a big deal actually :/

@Luke Didnt he say this for the T7 review tho? Like he was going to sell the BMW

There is no Ryan anymore. His soul was sold to Ducati Motor Holding S.p.A. in the ritual at the end of this video.

@JoVi []_[] notice how he dispersed after I told him to name 2? It’s because he’s full of 💩.

Brilliant, as always.

Enjoyed so much! Btw, the chart mentions Tiger 900, but which version exactly? GT or Rally, Standard or PRO?

This video explains the faith, dedication and yes, the extremism of Ducati soooo well. Once you go Duc, there’s no way back they say. But you don’t sell your soul to the light, oh no, it’s Lucifer who beckons…..

🔝🔝🔝🔝🔋🔋🔋

Well, I love everything about this.

I'm not even remotely interested in taking any motorcycle off-road, adventure bikes just aren't my thing and yet those Fortnine videos are still a pleasure to watch. Amazing job again on the cinematography and story telling :D

@Some Jerk …. Ryan’s Versys 300 review was one of his very best, imho …. It’s so good at drawing you into the video, it gets people teary-eyed by the end

@Questioner Puig screen is no quieter but I ride helmetless most of the time and it allows me to wear glasses that get blown off on bikes with no windshield and on the X300 with the stock shield. No noticeable impact on mileage. The 43t rear sprocket results in essentially the same final drive ratio as the 15t front, costs just $28, takes just 10min, and technically sheds a few grams of unsprung weight. The only rubber cushioned 15t front sprocket available from JT is narrower than stock requiring three internal transmission shims be sourced and stacked properly to make up the difference. As a bike mechanic, I find it quite puzzling why the front sprocket swap seems to be the preferred method. I've read accounts of three 250lb good-ole-boys jumping up and down on a 3ft breaker bar trying to loosen the output shaft nut. How much easier to pop the rear wheel off right quick and undo five 14mm nuts. I've no plans to do serious single track so the stock granny 1st gear is of no use to me and I can still start off in 2nd gear with the 43t rear with very little clutch slip. Some guys on the forum have done BOTH the 15t front and 43t rear with reported success.

@Some Jerk, do you find the Puig screen makes it quieter at highway speeds? Does it hurt fuel consumption? (Range was another huge consideration for choosing this over the Honda - I live far from anywhere else) Those side cases look nice, much more angular than the Kawasaki, though I think mine would also fit three half gallon jugs. Any reason why you chose to swap the rear sprocket instead of the front? How is your minimum off-clutch speed? (Lots of rough dirt roads around here)

@Questioner I ended up with a trio from Shad, 23L per side and 33L top. Can fit three 1/2 gallon jugs of milk vertical in one side case. Full face helmet fits in the top. Favorite mod so far is the 43t rear sprocket. Hitting 3rd gear crossing an intersection got old. My colleague (I'm a bike builder) is developing a cold air intake for the X300. He has a dyno, a 3D printer, and the ECU flash dongle. So I bought a Delkevic full exhaust for mine to be installed when the snow comes. He's going to develop 3 flashes, one for stock exhaust, one for a slip-on, and one for a full exhaust, all to be sold as a "mail him your ECU" package along with his intake. That will likely be my favorite mod, a 25% power increase. I also bought a Puig screen and Kawasaki hand guards.

@Some Jerk I bought Kawasaki luggage to get a matching key. A little disappointed in the indented sides stealing cargo space, but I can usually squish a 4L jug of milk in them, among other groceries. Boxes of cereal are the biggest challenge, they often go in the top case. What about you? Favourite mods? I saw that rectangle and thought it looked useful for something. I'd like to add cruise control, the grips are smaller diameter than my old bike and my throttle hand starts cramping on longer trips.

Absolutely top draw loved it

The godfather ending was 🔥🔥🔥

One of your best! Loved it.

Best video yet! The ending is magnifico 🤌.

Well done, as always

10 stars, 5 thumbs up (why not an even number? Who knows? Must've lost a thumb somwhere). Highly informative and entertaining, and I've never even ridden and ADV.

There are layers to this video. First the currency counter machine because they have a sponsor then at the end the god father reference and emptying the bank account for a motorcycle. The video are getting better and better each time.

Great scripting and camera work + good acting (towards the last)

we need more of that interview guy :D

Sensational review, truly one of the most entertaining and informative I have ever seen on any motorcycle.

Funny how Ducati and Aprilia have managed to jump two steps ahead of the competition in such overcrowded market. Remarkable, considering that both the Desert X and the Tuareg 660 are still a v.1.0. Looking forward to see the evolution of those two machines!

Uh you're kidding right. 890 will put the smack down on everything in the adv market.

@Mihail Kostira Both the Pegaso and the Caponord are more touring oriented, as opposed to the Tuareg 660 which is a fantastic on and offroad ADV machine

The Tuareg is a cracking adv bike, love mine, but it is def happier on the mud than on the tarmac (at least that is the case with a tyre swap anyways).

I believe because these Italian manufacturers finally listened to what consumers want. Just look at what Honda and Suzuki provided with their new Transalp and Vstroms, definetly not what consumers were asking for.

Eh, Aprilia did make the Pegaso and the Caponord

The dealer, now the part of ownership of things.

the level of production is insane, you always manage to one up yourself.

These production comments feel like "first" ones. It's getting extremely old

That sounds crude...

"Directed and Edited by Luke McAdam"

It's getting old.

@William Wilson yeah of course its a team but isn’t he the founder?

🏆 Oscar worthy performance 🤣👌🏽

Fantastic job on your videography!

As always, great job Ryan. I've come to disklike all the electronics on modern bikes. I own a new GSA and it's just too many doodads, sensors, readouts and things to go wrong. Sometimes the bike reports faults that aren't actually there but gives a improper fault code... I miss analog. You got on the bike and rode it. You didn't have to be a technician or monitor manager or buy a special code reader. I also don't need 100+ horsepower...anywhere. Ultimately, I actually prefer older bikes when it was so much simpler. Fortunately, there are plenty still around so choices abound. Actually, the ONLY real reason I bought the GSA was because I could get the low-suspension model (manufacturers take note). Oddly, so many manufacturers have bastardized the very concept of "adventure". In some ways, it's rather sad so many new-to-motorcycle riders will never know the real spirit and fun of riding a motorcycle that was actually designed for the experience versus the "comfort".

@Daniel Barber Had mine for almost 2 years, thought the concept of aircooled and shaft driven was very analog but it has been now in the shop fnow for 3 weeks and they still can't figure out whats going on thanks to the electronics / sensors causing it most the time to not cold start ... =(

Can I introduce you to the Moto Guzzi V85TT? :)

I have a digital fuel gauge on my 06 nomad. That’s about as gadgety as I want to get 😂

Tenere 700 has no electronics, maybe that might be an interesting bike for you. I am having Multi1200Enduro (just like your GSA) and I love the electronics and that you can turn everything off if you want. Only thing I don't like is the weight but...160hp helps with that.

Great review mate

Nobody does a shoot like Ryan, even threw in some decent acting. Showing us how it's done! 🔥

@LTVoyager you prob dont need two ? .. any ways have a good one !

@gmy33 True. One BMW is enough. I can’t afford two.

@Josh King Not even close. Try again.

@LTVoyager you aint riding a gs1250 either

@LTVoyager You probably ride a 1992 Honda Rebel.

Looks like a very old Super Teneré. Oh, and most of those still work which the Ducati won't.
