Did you mean 110 awards?

Desmo

True that. Volkswagen build a nice touring bike. F9 as usual showed what most did not.

So good!

I laughed out loud

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

I paid to the designer.

Do bikes brake down or break down?

@@freeheelsak [grate song]

@@freeheelsak if you own a Ducati you need to visit a dealership to find out.

lol....and exactly the reason they don't sell in the numbers Jap manufacturers do. I certainly wouldn't entertain a Ducati. (Still LOVED the review though)

You can still work on a modern Ducati. I work on my Supersport 939 myself.

​@@jasonsong86 it's not a good sign to have the manual be "go to an authorized ducati service center" so many times on things that can be done yourself though

​@@jessISaRicePrincess Yes. Ducatis in house lability lawyers (just like every other manufacturer) understand that if EVERY detail for a repair ISN'T provided to a monkey (who only has limited tool skills and a basic tool kit), then some rich monkey with a lawyer will file a suit attempting to place liability on the manufacturer for repair costs and injury/death. Giving NO info for basic repairs AND stating "See Ducati Dealer", severely limits the monkeys lawyers from fling poo at Ducati after their 'sh!t the bed' repair work. Blame it on the litigious society in which we live. Lawyers gotta eat. Didn't you get the memo? NOBODY is responsible for their own ignorance/stupidity in this brave new world.

@@jamescampbell4334 my honda manual doesn't say that, my dads suzuki manual doesn't say that, my uncles yamaha manual doesn't say that

He's waaay better. Clarkson is a pathetic pretencious old fart, and yes I understand he did a good job sometimes but his persona is just so horrible...

Hopefully not in every way.

Jeremy Clarkson has no knowledge of physics and mechanical work, sure he's a great entertainer but it ends there. Those television shows are all about ridiculous acts which is just an entertainment show. Ryan or f9, on the other hand gives so much information as well as logical reasons in great lenghts

please no, clarkson is all pomp, and no sustenance

Ryan is a better reporter and equals Clarkson as an entertainer. Love Clarkson. Ryan ROCKS. But he should go on some trips . . .

Be sure to wear your goggles or you'll get pink eye.

It's better than Hollywood in most cases 🤭 I'd gladly get pink eye, no homo.

@@Shaun.Stephens I can recommend a dr it seems that stick in there real deep

@@shadow_realm47 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 is cinema, which just happens to have motorcycle content

they still dont answer his calls, he had to buy a ducati to do a review on one.

This is the way

doing too many uber eats deliveries to pay off the mob

I'm annoyed with how he leans through turns! But the writing and production quality on the other hand are just amazing.

By far!

I couldn’t stand it to be honest and the corner leans are hilarious

@@KN-lq4zv you should watch their video about corner leaning to understand why he leans that way. Makes total sense.

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

I guess he very badly wanted to visit the Ducati service center

I really don't think he bought one.

He wanted to film backstage at their service center, and this was the only way to get reliable access :D

@@SWTrailsAndWheels Yup, he really did. He's seems more than capable of meeting his maintenance obligations (that's the German in him), making sure the bike breaks down as little as possible 😅

@@jabsy5094 How do you know he in fact bought one?

Agreed to all of the above. The Multistrada DVT is both the most fun bike I've ever had, the most flexible, and the most infuriating. The TFT screen is made of cheese and scratches if you look at it. The "handguards" are made of the cheapest, flimsiest plastic you've ever seen and have both a turn signal and the brake/clutch reservoirs mounted to them, so when they break (when, not if), it's far more problematic than it should be. But I grin like a maniac every time I get on it.

@@pilotalan I have been systematically replacing flimsy parts on my Scrambler with sturdier Suzuki parts for years. But nothing can change the lion heart of my Duc! In fact at nearly 50k miles I had the suspension completely swapped out for full ohlins in addition to many other upgrades. Just yesterday my husband took it out for a ride for the first time in a long time and came back grinning like a first time rider. His Vstrom doesn't give you those giddy "I think In in love" tummy swirls. 😂💘

sounds very italian

Can confirm. Nothing will take you from the heights of ecstasy to the depths of despair and back again faster than a Ducati

Agree with you. But I am biased, I ride a 1997 Cagiva Elefant 900. And I love it. Would be nice to own a DesertX too, I like the thought.

Agreed! Pure entertainment and informative…. Brilliant

@@DuzBee 7

Amen

@@Lt_Tragg you mean "Desmo!" :)

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.

You have to look where he lives, and the roads he has access to. He lives in heaven, in some respects. Look at that footage of Canada. It's just unreal beautiful. I live in WA state, and there are a lot of gravel roads, but it's so dry during the summer that it's not really exciting thinking about going into the woods much, so I explore all the paved roads. If I lived where he did, I'd also want a dirt focused bike. I'm not sure everyone has so much access to wilderness like that? I live in the country, but there's nothing like his footage, omg.

It is peaceful here, I live here. Lots of cool places where you don’t see anyone, except nature.

I want to buy all the new ADV bikes, because they are all so awesome. But the ultimate clincher is that none of the modern ADV bikes are geared for real world riding, they do not have an overdrive. Instead, they are geared like dirt bikes, despite American roadways being 80mph to 85mph as a standard. There should be a class action lawsuit against bikes like the Pan American Harley for not giving people a proper overdrive gear; it is engineering negligence, and it's intentional. The Pan America is geared the same as all the other bikes, like the Honda Transalp 750, which means the engine is literally screaming down the road at 80mph at 5,500 rpm. Without an overdrive, you cause twice the engine wear, your require twice the spark plugs, twice the oil changes, and burn significantly more fuel.

I mean to be fair he's not just doing this on his own dime, this channel is owned by a motorcycle gear store. He's just the guy making the videos.

I mean, they’ve made amazing content but it’s been “sponsored” from the beginning. Fortnine is a Canadian Motorsport retailer.

The whole channel is sponsored content, they are one of the larger motorcycle/atv/ snowmobile gear store

@@alexfraley well bugger me never knew that, always thought it was Ryan's channel... ....

@@colossalbiff3514 he definitely made it his own and built it into what it is. I can see how you’d see it that way.

He doesn’t do the production. He’s an employee.

@@williamwilson6499 yeah of course its a team but isn’t he the founder?

It's getting old.

"Directed and Edited by Luke McAdam"

That sounds crude...

All thanks to the F9 Ryan who enriches our lives when we’re not on 2 wheels

Hmm. An expensive bike that requires a dealership to adjust tire pressure has a way, way too complicated electronics package and is ugly as sin. Yep, I won’t be buying one anytime soon.

@@LTVoyager You probably ride a 1992 Honda Rebel.

@@LTVoyager you aint riding a gs1250 either

@@Real_Josh_King Not even close. Try again.

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…😂😂

Of the many channels I regularly watch I think this is the top-dog of the lot.

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

Have you seen Pole Barn Garage though?

What @LombardoJoe said . . .

As a Star Wars fan I feel dissapointed in myself that I did not pick that Ewok reference up lol.

Me too!

I take it you enjoyed it then...?

Same here.

💯 I’m on the opposite side of the spectrum. 100% dirt, but I’ll watch his street bike videos!

I'm too afraid of destroying my luggage and scraping my fairings to do serious off-roading, but it sure is nice having an adventure bike to not be afraid of potholes and bottoming out. Plus, I find the riding position comfier than both sport bikes and cruisers, especially on longer trips.

😂😂 Might need to spellcheck

I don't even own a motorbike and i wait eagerly for this legend to drop a video!! Someday i'd like to own one though : )

How can you not like adv and Dualsport? It’s the most fun thing in the world lol

Don’t we all say the same thing every new bike we buy

@@steve-wu7jp keep the wife. Trade the motorcycle. Much cheaper. You may quote me if necessary.

Ah, and was the ending correct? Knowing Ryan, it probably was. Enjoy your new ride!

How much did it cost?

@@janeblogs324 Everything

Hard to say with this one. After spending a full day with it yesterday, I'm 100% sure that my other bikes are going to be the ones sitting in the garage while I ride the DX. That said, I think a lot of riders are going to find that it is too tall for them and sell it because they can't get confident with the reach to the ground. I saw the same thing happen with the Scrambler 1200 XEs. Eventually fully farkled bikes start popping up used with pretty low mileage and no dirt use and you can get a killer deal.

When you mentioned Elefant, I have to say I am looking forward to the MV 9.5 Lucky Explorer. Some previews are promising

I had a Cagiva navigator (a gran canyon with the tl1000r engine), have ride that thing to splinters so mutch fun with a 100 bhp supermotart. The geometry of all elefant models 350 til 900 include the gran canyon and navigator is about the same. if the desert x is like that I sell my KTM 990 dakar edition.

I think their product value is already top notch. Don't diss his boys. ;-)

I know eh? I took my BMW Daker out in the snow the other day and was like... yeah, naw I'm good now.

Even though I don't ride my 800GS anymore, I can't bring myself to sell it. I keep it around for a friend to use a few times per year when we want to go moto-camping and his 1000RR is not the ideal bike.

I'll see you out there on my 100hp 456lb DL1000 V-Twin

Vaaaa absolutely great

Yeah, but it hasn't done anything for the inferiority complex, you will need therapy for that 🤷

I bought a TW200 because of this fuckin guy

I got a bicycle and an ebike cuz of this channel lol

This was good but the Bonneville review from a couple years ago is still # 1...Killing the KLR #2.....this one #3. Lets take a poll. Which one of the Fortnine videos is #1?

Amen and Amen!

The H1100S is so much fun in the twisties and some do light off-road adventures with appropriate tires. Unlike post Audi ownership bikes the service manual is available and the desmo 2v are easy to work on. No need for dealership servicing. DIY and independents mechanic.

I can echo this completely. I bought a used Multistrada this spring and still smile, if not audibly chuckle, every time I ride it. Can't speak for the dealership experience as I have had no need yet (no plan to).

I said similar things upon HD ownership. The bikes, the ride, bitchin! The dealership experience and the du rag culture? Nightmare.

Buy a motorcycle,start living 💪

"I haven't touched a motorcycle in my entire life" Oh no!!!! a motorcycle virgin!. There is a cure for that.

I got my first motorcycle at 41. I had decided a man should not go to his grave having not ridden a motorcycle. That was June 2003. Now almost 20 years(???!!!!) and over 100,000KM, I would never not ride.

@@Terrestre1 See my comment regarding getting my first bike at 41. - Cheers

@@joeshmoe7967 That's nice, Joe. Keep riding. I started with a 50cc when I was 14, now I am 60+ and still racing enduro.

I'm in the same boat. The production value of the videos and presentation make the 2 wheel stuff more appealing.

Take a riding course! You won’t believe how much fun it is, and it changes the way you see the road forever

I haven't ridden a motorcycle in 20 years. Never owned one but road my friend's Ninja 250 often. I'm a car guy, but I also like motorcycles, and anything with ICE. And Ryan here never fails to entertain me with his videos. The man is a legend when it comes to quality content. He's so brilliant at what he does. He's like the Jason Camissa of the motorcycle world. They put out the highest level stuff on YT.

Feel the hatred run through you, you cannot resist the power of the dark side. ;)

I've been a car guy all my life. Apparently the first word I ever said was 'car'. However I have always looked at bikes and thought 'maybe one day'. That 'one day' was 2 weeks ago when I bought a triumph Street triple 675 and joined the dark side. I am 100% sold, this bike gives me something that no car ever could. I could try to put it into words but I don't think I'd ever be able properly explain it, so I won't bother. I think you should also join the dark side, you will be welcomed with open arms....

I was raised Catholic and so, I'm not allowed to "Like" this video and I have to pray 12 Our Father's and 5 Hail Mary's for leaving this comment. Worth it though.

I laughed with his well performed acting italian skills (hands gesture and cadence). At 0:33, "...when Ducati designers got here...they just...eeeeeehhhh FINITO! (finished! that's it!)". The last part of the video is a mix of latin and italian. Regarding the DesertX, in my opinion, the rear looks great only with the side tanks installed. Otherwise, something is missing there.
