May I join the echo chamber of praise, please? Outstanding cinematography once again, but what may not be immediately evident is the time and energy spent genuinely researching and understanding this brand and product, it’s history and modern interpretation. Even more amazing is your unflappable insight required not to stop at the obvious, and denounce the rig as an over-priced style play. And lastly the effort in your writing is clear. The viewer has to hang on every word, because there is no filler. Every turn of phrase precisely chosen, steeped in meaning, and connections made throughout, with callbacks and subtle humor. If I were to ask anything of your talents however, it would be variety of tone. This is the second Hollywood quality production I’ve seen from you that seemed to combine the elevated version of the Twilight zone narrator with the Sin City aesthetic as a backdrop to the artful execution of a motorcycle review beyond compare. The description on the dvd might read: “It’s a dark city in the middle of the night. It rained an hour ago, but a young Joe Friday is trying to forget about something, and once again blowing off steam on a new machine, and he notices a few interesting things. His mind wanders through the history of it, and how it is now. The late summer night becomes a new adventure, And he want to tell you about it.” You have more. I know that is in you. And I look forward to seeing it. Still, a great video.
It's actually a Blade Runner homage. If you haven't seen it, you really should. It's one of the greatest movies ever made, nearly as good as a Fortnine review.
You put it so right in my opinion. Especially about the research and insight. I'm every time amazed about that. It seems so simple but it takes so much. I adore it. I would like to know what's all behind this video's but like to believe that it is just a few guys who love motorcycling and making a video about it.
This is my 4th or 5th time watching this video. Ryan, you are truly the best reviewer on this website. The cinematography, the music, the angles... plus, anyone can tell me the specs sheet and how it handles, but this deep analysis and description of how it FEELS is so much more valuable.
ok, dude... I'm a year late for this comment, but this was amazing, well recorded, amazing analysis, fun all the way through, interesting and engaging... can't say enough good things about your review, I loved it.
If FortNine ever starts selling direct to the U.S., I’ll start buying my kit from you guys exclusively. Ryan does some of the most honest reviews of bikes and gear that I have ever seen - more so than the moto press outlets - and it’s amazing to watch each video get better and better. I’d love to support you guys for this great content!
Amazing video Ryan and the team, fabulous bit of production - absolutely top drawer (oh, and the bike's not bad either!).....look forward to riding one of these. Keep up the great work chaps, all us others can only aspire to such greatness...
It does remind me some of having to analyze all the hidden meanings in the book “To Kill a Mockingbird” in school, only for the author to come out years later and say “dude, I just wrote a book…”

I own my Husky 701 Svartpilen for one year now and to be honest, your video was one of the reasons to get the bike. I work in the media aswell and believe me I can devide good work from okay work, because I produced several films during the last 15 years. This is stunning!

@@andremakris3061 Well not for the market price but in my area prices of those bikes dropped down to buying prices the dealers payed so they sold like hot cakes after that. And yes, compared to Japanese bikes they have a lot of problems.
I keep coming back and rewatching it, catching more bladerunner references each time, and also just for the pure entertainment. There's a plot and story unfolding. Surprises, false leads. And of course, as always, beautiful cinematography. Probably my favourite out of F9
I really enjoy the different video style experimentations (this night retro turned out great btw) and these reviews tell stories that no other mc channel will. Keep it up F9 team, your fan base is only bound to get bigger from here.
By chance I just re watched the original Blade Runner today before watching this review. Funny coincidence and yet of course another phenomenal review!
I honestly have no words to describe your talent. You guys are so overwhelmingly deserving of every single praise and applaud on this freaking platform. I love your work.
Ive been on TH-cam since it pretty much came out, and I have to say, this is one of the best (if not THE BEST) video I have watched. The story telling, the B roll, the art, the metaphors, wow. This content is better than some A rated movies out there. Amazing work, that should be considered for an emmy
F9, Your movies are epic. I watch them for the humour, the art and originality. Sometimes I don’t even know what bike you are talking about, you are to bikes what TopGear was to cars. Keep going!!
@@Thepreppersbunkeroutdoors I've got the 2020 Vitpilen 401. It has adjustable forks, quickshift ("Easy Shift"), anti-hopping clutch. And it was 135kg. It's a damn fun bike.

I’m curious. A series of remembrances leave me wondering. I remember when Fortnine was an online motorcycle gear marketplace. I remember about 2014/2015 a series of product reviews came to TH-cam featuring Ryan F9 as host. I remember this guy had a unique way of telling the truth yet still directing viewers to Fortnine. I remember Ryan would even respond or comment to questions or with a cool comedic whip. I remember when subscribers even became part of the program (you do look some like Joffrey Baratheon). I remember as subscribers and viewership grew a great interaction between host, viewer, product or location and truth seemed to merge into a seamless interaction as if you were there along a ride or chatting on a couch. I remember when production $$ grew and incorporated incredible Ariel footage of beautiful scenery on a ride with the 4K drone. I remember when crash test “scientific” reviews seem to stop and crash. I remember when motorcycle reviews became epic near full on productions mostly at night. I remember in corporate management, growth meant change and to beat competition meant staying ahead of change which would inherently increase growth but could loose or weaken the core structure which made you competitive, that was the “risk” of change. Therefore, I am curious. In my series of remembrances, the one thing I can’t remember... is when I bought anything from Fortnine’s website. (Now imagine a really cool low lit night shot of me walking down a rainy alleyway pondering as the big city lights twinkle and halo in the distance yet I’m not in the city. I’m in a suburban alleyway next to a bar and an eatery with the city calling my name but my roots are local. My chin lifts up as the rain trickles across my brow as I look into the camera with thoughts of once was and where I should go from here. Cut scene as it shows me riding seemingly on the highway pointed in the direction of the city on my shit kicker Honda but proud just to be riding as .... my blinker lights up and flickers on and off the reflective exit sign in night rain... I say “I remember when... all that I have done and all that I will ever do will be remembered but from my home as everything I remember has always brought me there...”). Scene fades as I exit the freeway and head home.) I wonder...
does it? The bike looks like it came straight out of blade runner. It's a comment on the styling being Retrowave/Outrun as fck. I was laughing at the obvious rib on the retro futuristic style
After watching every one of FortNine's reviews, I say to myself, "Yup, THAT is the bike that I want!" Award-worthy cinematography, content, and narration! Thank you, FortNine! Thank you!
Awesome review and top production quality! glad you mentioned 1955 Silverpilen/Silver Arrow, both Vitpilen and Svartpilen some inspiration clearly comes from that bike, the looks and simplicity.
Oh HELL YES! The Vitpilen 701 is easily one of the most beautifully designed bikes I've ever seen. I'm a supermoto guy but damn everything about that bike is just... right. Even ignoring all the incredible 701 detailing throughout the bike and just paying attention to the headlight and taillight is enough to keep me staring. And that's not even getting into the performance and how Husqvarna continues to one-up KTM at their own game
This is not a review. This is art.
It's like the old Top Gear reviews but for bikes. Sublime.
I don't watch for the art, I watch for the content. Art with no content is just mental masturbation.

I say “I remember when... all that I have done and all that I will ever do will be remembered but from my home as everything I remember has always brought me there...”). Scene fades as I exit the freeway and head home.) I wonder...
That was dope. ~RF9
Agreed!
I remember when people used paragraphs.
I found myself watching this for 3rd time. Gosh, i need more
Bro your production quality is INSANE!
Amazing work!
FAAAACKK.... the last line, the last piece of music... pure goosebumps!
God damn! You guys are so talented in telling a story. Brilliant work. what a magical team you guys must be to put stuff like this together.
Honest to god your editing skills and talent on this channel are unmatched.
This is the best video of a bike review I've ever watched...
I was just looking at this bike and next thing I know, Fortnine made a review. I love them
Had to watch this again, years later. I never get tired of your logic, 🏆
Perfect review for the 3 months of rain coming up for van
Ha! 3 months, more like 8 ☔
I just picked up a 2020 Vitpilen 701 and it was love at first ride. This review was the inspiration/catalyst for that decision, thanks Ryan!
Every videos feels like a Netflix episode! Awesome!!
Please, don't compare Netflix with art
What an exceptional review. Made me fall in love with this bike even more🖤
I'm picking mine up tomorrow. Won't be able to sleep tonight.
Congrats! And as always, I pray, rubber side down!
Thanks :)
Congratulations man beautiful machine
I got mine, it is an amazing machine to ride! Got de baffled Akra on it and waiting on spoke wheels =D the way it should have come!
@@redlinethin congrats..enjoy your motorbike .its something different then all motorcycle. every time i drive mine .i love it more..good choice
The best photography, editing and commentary I’ve ever seen describing a bike.
BLADERUNNER INTRO ;-)
Blade runner references all throughout too. Mentions replicants and tears in the rain
Tears in the rain.
"I have seen things..."
@Janus Möbius The timeline introduction? It most certainly is Blade Runner. Roof scene at the end.
This IS my favorite by far ... wonderful imagery ... super job guys! The city looks so good, great angles ... etc, etc
I wasn't even looking for a bike but the production quality of this videos are on fire!
This 2018 bike review looks better than some 2021 movies. Hats off!
Epic Tears in Rain reference.
Yes. It has so little to do with the bike
does it? The bike looks like it came straight out of blade runner. It's a comment on the styling being Retrowave/Outrun as fck. I was laughing at the obvious rib on the retro futuristic style
More like epic Tron reference in scenes
After watching every one of FortNine's reviews, I say to myself, "Yup, THAT is the bike that I want!"
Award-worthy cinematography, content, and narration! Thank you, FortNine! Thank you!
every video you make is a cinematic masterpiece
Awesome review and top production quality! glad you mentioned 1955 Silverpilen/Silver Arrow, both Vitpilen and Svartpilen some inspiration clearly comes from that bike, the looks and simplicity.
I keep coming back to this video, again and again.
Oh HELL YES!
The Vitpilen 701 is easily one of the most beautifully designed bikes I've ever seen. I'm a supermoto guy but damn everything about that bike is just... right. Even ignoring all the incredible 701 detailing throughout the bike and just paying attention to the headlight and taillight is enough to keep me staring. And that's not even getting into the performance and how Husqvarna continues to one-up KTM at their own game
