Be careful or you'll end up watching videos for 3 hours straight. I especially liked his video on how Harley fucked themselves. I wasn't aware of any of that information.

It's funny how back in the day he was ignored by manufacturers and their reason was that his channel was too small.
Now he actually has more subscribers than revzilla and they still ignore him.
Fact is, the large majority (all?) of bike reviewers just read the notes handed to them and ride the bikes in some place chosen by the manufacturers.
Fortnine gives no fucks. He says whatever he feels like saying and will explain in detail why something may suck about a bike. He's done some pretty harsh reviews on stuff they sell even (paraphrasing: we sell this, it sucks, you're a moron if you buy it).
Being the honest man in a sea of shills will make you popular, who would have thought?

Probably not, but sweet as I felt like it was lacking a little oomph, like they shoulda squeezed the 900 in (think it's the 700 in it)
So yamaha fucked me sorta and certainly some other guys. 11am they send out an email that all the reservations cancelled first come first serve. I'm already on the way riding from an hour away. Get there for my 1200 ride, find this out, get fucked waiting for the 1300 ride and the only thing really available was their massive Cruiser tourer. That was actually a little fun, terrifying at first because of the bulk even compared to like a zx1400. Enough of the riders were novices on the guided route, I kept going up their assholes or otherwise being impatient in the small canyon ride we did. If an open course, I would have sadly smoked the R6 and MT10 with the cruiser lol.
Wouldnt let me reserve the nikken ahead of time, told me to come up after my first ride and ask for it. Sure as shit it was booked by then, so I was stuck waiting until 1600. Same thing lot of novice or at least just shittier riders that do maybe 1-2k miles a year. Nikken was fun little hard to describe. I certainly quickly adjusted and then getting too happy with the sticky front would start to wash the rear out a little turning from stops or otherwise taking street turns at slow speed then lighting it up.
Wasted time not so bad except for missing getting to try that little R6. Funny as it is, I never have tried a 600cc, went from my noob 650 twin straight to 1000CC's.
