For sale: 1970 Suzuki TC-90 *MINT*. Kept indoors, old lady driven, never been off-road. What a gem! Selling because my job leaves no time to go ride :( Just need to get back what I paid for it. $800.

I stumbled into this video by sheer accident. I'm 63 and it simply bought tears to my eyes. Your Suzuki 90 bike was from my era and that is exactly the type of motorcycle and motorcycle riding my friends and I used to do. Every other Friday a small group of high school friends (in LA), would decide to either go fishing in Big Bear, or go motorcycle riding in red rock canyon in Mojave. A couple of us us had nice state of the art motorcycles like I had a year one Honda 125 Elsinore, and most everyone else had Yamaha DT 90s ~ 125s or Suzuki 100s and so on.. We had tons and tons and tons of fun and great adventures out in the desert, just the same as in your video, except it was all dry. We once found a ghost town in the middle of no where and no one really knew about. It was really creepy cause there were piles of old leather shoes everywhere. An other time we found our selves on a dry salt lake bed, and we all just went all out to see who could get to the other end, when about a mile ahead appear a mysterious line on the ground about 2 ~ 3 feet wide. We all stopped gathered about 1/2 mile away from the line and dared each other to see who could get there the fastest and cross it according to the CC of each bike. Off we went! As we got closer that line looked more like 10 yards wide, but no matter we roared on! It turned out to be like quick sand, the moment our front tires touched it we went flying over the handle bars at full speed! Others were too focused to notice everyone else was flying over the handle bars. Only the slow riders were able to stop on time... It was a SHIT SHOW... How we did not get badly hurt or managed to get our bikes out from nearly 3 feet of soft mud is amazing. Yup those are the memories your video brought back to me.. Thank You.

"goin over 100!" *speedometer doesn't move*

Lmao "it made 11 horses 48 years ago, and horses dont live that long" im rolling

Let me start by saying... I've never ridden a bike. No motorcycles, dirtbikes, mopeds, nothing. Nothing two wheeled and human powered. I just wanted to let you guys know that your channel is so well produced, so well written, that someone like me, tangentially interested in motorcycles, is thoroughly captivated. Really enjoyed it guys. You've got me looking at craigslist ads now...

I can not believe the brilliance of this video production. Hats off, Aneesh

I love the implication that Ryan changed the clutch pack, confirmed it was capable of moving forward and then went directly to his adventure without any further QC.

When you sparked that engine up and it made its noise, it brought a tear to my eye, the sound of my youth riding 50cc-125cc 2 strokes back in the early 80s, the discovery of freedom, i left school the day i was 16yo, that same day i started riding on the road on a Honda c50 step through, fishing trips, camping, a flagon of cider on the back, in a group of mates all on the nifty fifties. Those were the days my friends. e2a: The quality of your videos is superb, i mean seriously, its fantastic, everything, the cinematography especially is outstanding, also the presentation, the edit, the audio, the story line, coupled with the subject of two wheeled motor adventures, its bloody perfect.

1$ bike - 1km adventure

My uncle had two of those when I was 14. My brother and I drove them one summer from sun up to sun down. Great bikes. They topped out at 62 mph. Your video brought back those wonderful memories as I have lost my brother, but not the memories. Thanks!

"...I can feel the future in these waters, but it's already past - and still yet to come". Very deep. Churchill would be proud. If its original, I salute you - well done.

3:31 "It made 11 horses 48 Years ago and horses don't live that long." Best quote ever I swear.

"It made eleven horses forty-eight years ago... and horses don't live that long." F ing hilarious.

Who else is happy with the new videos rolling out more frequent?

Only channel that turns a moto video into a film with jokes, poetry, and heart. these guys leverage their many talents well. And this should have more views.

Purely genius how you guys can take something so mundane and make it interesting to watch. The best motorcycle channel on KZfaq for sure! The production is flawless, and Ryan's delivery is spot on.

do more stuff with older, cheap bikes! I loved it. Cheers from Brazil

"11 horses 48 years ago but horses don't live that long..." 😂 love it, and yet another quality production

This video embodies the essential spirit of motorcycling. Challenges and uncertainty with a can do determination is a recipe that create unforgettable adventures.

It's only 11 mins video. It feels like i have been watching 1 hr awesome documenatry video.

"Our TC90 has no first gear.... I do believe that Suzuki initially offered one" Lol

thats mighty fast for 0mph

What a journey. It amazes me how short the video is compared to how long it feels. Just goes to show how well the audiences attention and imagination is captured. I have never fixed a working motorcycle, let alone a broken one. Yet watching this makes me dream of digging up my dads old Suzuki and giving it the love it hasn't seen in what must be more than 30 years. Even if I fail I probably would have fun.

I get the impression that this guy really loves riding, and this video seems to show why. Just awesome. I salute all of you who produced this masterpiece.

............I submit this to you.... There is something...almost glorious...about bikes with small engines. We can all dream of having that sport bike with 9 million horsepower, or even a huge adventure bike with almost as much...but how often are you actually safely going to use all of that horsepower...putting a ton of strain on the engine. Whenever I ride a bike that allows me to use ALL of its horsepower a LOT....it makes me smile. That little engine just cranking away...trying its hardest to hold together for my enjoyment. A lot of us come up with human-like qualities for our mechanical toys...and who doesn't like an underdog? That guy that isn't the fastest or strongest...but he plays with more heart and soul that the other guys, because he has to play so damn hard.

Just amazing how cinematic this "movie" was! Not only did you prove you can do a 400km trip on a $400 Bike, but you also did prove how creativity can give us a feel of past and future. Amazing content!

Old bikes have so much character and style in them, and they give a sense of achievement when you get them running. It's also more fun to ride a slow bike fast than to ride a fast bike slowly. Would love to find a cheap antique bike when i get my license in a couple years

Me: starts video Hmm, I'm pretty sure I've already seen this one. 🤔 Meh, it's F9, I'll watch it again.

After you made this video, I found a matching set of 72 Yamaha LT-2 100cc for $250 bikes that REALLY needed work, but a couple of months later, my wife and I have been riding our bikes ALL OVER AZ. It's such a blast! Thanks for the motivation!

"tearing at over 100..." with a broken speedometer reading 0: CLASSIC :)

Suzuki 90 was the first motorcycle I ever rode. Must have been late 60's or early 70's. A friend bought one and let me ride it. He had to teach me how to use the clutch and how to shift (well, I guess how to ride). It was orange and chrome and the sound and smell of a two stroke was instantly cemented into my senses forever. 50+ years later and I'm still riding. Thank you Suzuki!

Great story! Thank you. It reminded me of how much I loved my childhood experiences on small motorcycles. First a 50cc in 1967 then a 100cc two years later. Everything after that, i.e. larger bikes, were never as fun as riding forested trails on those small displacement machines. I will be retiring soon and have been thinking about getting a small displacement bike for trail riding. 100cc's may be a little too small, but I'll keep it under 200! :-)

F9, the Top Gear show equivalent for motorcycles, love it!

This guy deserves an award, just for the amount of effort he puts into his videos.

"I can feel the future in these waters. But it's already past. And yet still yet to come" - very profound

My first "motorcycle" was a 1971 TC90. I learned how to ride it when I was 7-8 years old and rode it everywhere. It did almost anything I asked it to until I outgrew it. Really brings back memories see this video.

god dammit, how have you made me want a 50 year old Japanese trail bike?

What a fabulous little bike - sounded awesome! Love the high quality production on this one Ryan, hats off to you and the crew for publishing such a good looking video....all the best - TMF

I've watched about 80-90 percent of your videos in the last couple weeks. This video has to be my favorite. Showing that cheap small bikes can be just as fun and are very capable on the trail. I'd love to see another video like this!

Another great video from Mr 49 himself. I love old two strokes, which reminds me I must get my old RD200A back on the road. Thank you very much for making these videos!!!

This is a piece of art.

Aye man what a classic out of the ordinary vlog... respect!

That front tire locking up every time it gets off the ground 👌🏼😂

Your videos always feels so philosophical and life changing in a way I don't understand but still love.

What a nice episode! Thank you for offering such good quality. Loved the adventure!

This is by far your best video ever. Here are some observations that I've made watching your video: 1 - The slow motion parts are excellent. I had time to enjoy and imagine all the feelings that you had when you did that 2 - The script is superbe. Really appreciate the tone, the delivery, the subtility of the comments. 3 - Riding that T-90 is what adventure is supposed to be. Adventure is when you go, no matter waht you are riding, the condition of the road or the unknow of the destination, basically, all the ingredients for a real adventure were in you video 4 - the part where you were swiming in the water was incredible. I could see myself enjoy the fresh water 5 - I cannot stop dreaming about adventure now. For me, this video was perfect. Congrats and keep up the good work. For me, you are the best in the class of Motorcycle videos!!!

Stunning work, the story, writing, presentation, production, the passion...Best channel on YT that I have come across. Bravo!

I feel like you guys have the most underrated channel on KZfaq. The production, presentation and focus are all thoroughly captivating. Excellent work guys!

Is this a moto vlog or an epic motorcycle odyssey? I don't know, but I sure enjoy it.

This as a 1.5 hour Top Gear season finale would be my everything.

The quality of your videos is amazing. Can't stop watching.

This was grand tour levels of adventure and story telling. 10/10 keep up the great work!

Fortnine, you're too good for you tube.

“It feels super lean EH?”

One of the best videos I’ve seen on the tube! Well done 👏🏽

Your videos are pure genius. This channel has quickly become my favorite for motorsport content. Keep up the brilliant work!

Big hug to everyone over at FortNine, your content quality is out of this world recently, cinematography, narration, creativity, script, content.. everything is on point, props to you guys for making such high quality videos

great production quality, coloring, visual humor. I'm a bicyclist but this made me want to get a two stroke

Wow, that brings back some memories. Many years ago I too had a TC90, and I had huge fun on it. At the time I also had a KDX175 and an RD350, and spent most of my time riding the TC :) Thanks for the trip down memory lane! Also, fantastic production values - well done!

Every one of your bike vids ends with a singular thought. I want one, maybe more. Wonderful cinematography, humor, writing, and knowledge good sir.

Why is the maple syrup budget so low?

this is literally some of the best editing ive ever seen. salute.

You're an artist. Loved this video, so inspiring can't wait to finish my Jawa 590/4 250cc 2 stroke now

I had a huge smile for the whole video...I had the green one as a first bike. Learned how to ride it going in a circle in the front yard. The long end of the muffler was broken off, you could hear it a mile away! That low-high gear lever was great on hills! Thanks for bringing back those great memories!!

I partly watch your videos just for the amazing cinematics

Love the smell of 2 stroke in the morning!

Cant get past the glorious production content and quality, once again you ought to be given a big budget series. congrats again guys.

5 years later this video is still amazing... You guys are making history with this kind of work... I hope you never stop

Who ever produces this stuff is an artist.. easily the best bike content on YT. Most TV production isn’t as good as this. Light weight affordable bikes from our youth that didn’t cost the same as a car and you fixed without an electronics degree, brings a tear to your eye doesn’t it .......

Now this is what motorcycling is about it's the Adventure and less on price. Completely and totally fucking beast awesome video! !

Amazing video bro. Gave me chills and reminded me of my youth. I had the exact bike when I was 9 and the adventures it took me on seamed boundless. It took me every where I dared to point the front tire and It always got me home.

I set off one day in 1973 to ride 300 miles on a suzuki 50 Maverick. There was a strong head wind and I couldn't do more than 20 mph. I turned round after an hour and absolutely flew back to town. What my life could have been if only that wind was blowing the other way..... sigh.

Seriously, the opening scene of the video is cinematic and beautiful. Go this route a little more in you videos and you'll have a rich mans belt and a cupboard full o' onions I tell ya.

Badass man!! Looks like a fun place to ride! Awesome you did it on an old classic like that!

The way this video was produced, your writing style..etc. just earned my sub. Bravo!

Deep, philosophical, funny, fun, amazing scenery and production. You guys knocked this one out of the park. Bravisimo! Damn, Ryan, you dwarf that 90. Reminds me a little of my godfather who was a Shriner riding his mini bike. And every time you stuck a leg out my poor crippled knees cringed up like you wouldn't believe. They ache just watching you ride.

This is the Junkyard Digs / Roadkill of motorcyles!

What an awesome video! The tc 90 was my 1st street legal bike when i was 15 way back in nineteen-hundred and seventy-two.👴. I remember trying to keep up with my friends on their 100cc and up bikes. I have a ts 185 bike that hauls ass nicely now.

Ryan, I grew up in Beaconsfield Quebec and my first bike was a TS90. I have always noticed your TC 90 hanging in the background. Great memories riding with my best friends, one who lives in Halifax but now we both have a BMW 1200 gs. 67 years old and still having fun. Keep up the great work.

Watching this channel mature and grow is currently one of my life's greatest pleasures. Thanks for another 11 minutes of perfect escapism

A french woman drove with a Kawasaki 125 cc, two stroke, around the world, in the early seventies. Her name: Anne France Dautheville. (Journalist) Before, she drove with a BMW side car through Canada, and with a Moto Guzzi in Afghanistan. She had no big problems with this small motorbike. The Kawasaki company in Japan cannot believe it, checked the whole bike, but it was ok. (During her world tour.) -

Absolutely great video's. Leaving vloggers and moto-journalists behind in quality.

The TC-90 was my very first motorcycle, rode it hard and it was bullet proof. Seeing this brings back fond memories of when my toys were much cheaper. Thanks

Dude, I rode my $200 bike for 10,000km in South East Asia.

Dude. I love your philosophy on motorcycles. I love the format and the narration truly entertaining and educational at the same time I truly enjoy watching your videos. Thank you

This video is too good. Your video making skills are through the roof. You could make a full movie and it would be extremely good and everyone would love it. This is like my 4th time watching this video and it’s still interesting somehow. Great work

One of the best videos I have seen in a long time! Please make more.

Maybe for a video idea you could do a teardown/repair of the bike to working order?

In the beginning I didn't appreciate this bike, by the end I was rooting for it to get up that hill. Amazing video and host, thank you for everything you do!

My very first bike was a 72 Suzuki TC90. Loved that bike. 50 years later, I'm still riding. Different bikes now, but I remember that one well.

You guys are hands down the best at this motovlogging thing!

This would have made such a good announcement video for Suzuki to launch a new TC-90 with haha

Nicely put together video, cinematography is on point!

Please make more of this "Spiritual" videos. Thanks to the cameraman and cutter, brilliant quality (and of course we don't forget the driver, great series)

You have a philosophical way of expressing things bruv, you are awesome.. keep it up

I'm laid up due to a lowside so I've been watching all your videos. You folks are on another level as far as quality, production, editing, etc....keep up the excellent work.

This video gave me chills! Insane quality!

Man I just gotta say you’re videos are the best on KZfaq, not because of subject necessarily, motorcycles are awesome to be clear:) but the editing and filming is unbelievable!!! Keep it up man I recommend you’re channel all the time,seriously great work my friend!!!

50 years ago I rode through the trails (and off them) in the mountains and canyons of Colorado on two stroke yamaha 100cc and 250cc Enduros. I still ride.... just no longer in the mountains and trails on street/dirt machines. But watching this brings back muscle memory of rides past and a deep longing to return to my roots. I use to ride every day and would ride through all weather with almost no regard to difficulty and life or limb. I cannot put words to the joy this video brings me. I may not be there but in spirit... so thanks Ryan for letting me ride alongside you even though I am a thousand miles and years away

THIS is the quality content I subbed for :)
