An amazing review. I was smitten by this bike until I actually sat on it and started to see how cheap it looked and felt in person, ended up getting a Z650 instead for $6500, the vitpilin would have been 12k OTD.

My buddy has a Vitpilen 401. It looks really cool but like you said it just feels... Cheap.....

When new bikes come out I'm always "oh man, I can't wait top pick this up used in 10 years".

Honestly his best review yet.

Awesome Review. Like a short movie.
level 2
Vancouver really starred in it. The sheer variety of locations is pretty impressive and a lot of those riding shots are decently far apart. He definitely rode the bike a lot just to make the video.

What I love about FortNine more than their production value is that they actually criticise bikes. No other motorcycle journalists will say anything negative about a motorcycle because they're afraid that company won't let them loan bikes anymore. FortNine tells it like it is.
level 2
I really appreciate the negative review part, and the cinematography is fantastic, but I ended up being thoroughly confused by the whole video. Too much cryptic talk, or something. Can't quite place it. Either way, the video had the air of a noir Ryan Gosling film.
level 2
I love his gear review videos for this as well. He gives honest and informed opinions. When I look at a lot of revzilla videos it's all praise, but doesn't knock the product for anything.

Ryan keeps raising the bar! Excellent review with great information, and ever better cinematography.

Damn son!

Coming off of a 701 Enduro, this bike looks like it will be insanely fun to ride.

I really wish F9 would do a shoot out type video. Have three bikes in the same class going head to head.
level 2
FortNine.ca is a much smaller canadian equivalent of Revzilla, their video wizardry and production value just hide their size: it's a super small team.
level 2
F9's also kinda tall though, no? I think it wouldn't look quite so small on me.
level 1
Those were some fucking cool ass shots at 7:35
level 2
Spherical camera on an arm attached to the bike.

In a sea of "motovloggers" Ryan is a jet boat taking us on a joyride.
Keep it up Ryan and team.
