Rode over 1000km through Himalayas from Ladakh to Kashmir, on/off road and although I made it in one piece I wouldn't call it a pleasant experience on the scram 411 lol. Bottoms out regularly on rough terrain, no guts to push through soft road without dropping the bike and then once you drop it the weight almost stops you from being able to pick it back up! Oh and Once I reached the warming climate south of Kashmir the bike overheated very quickly and oil leaked from the head, Was stuck with an expensive mechanical bill.

As eager as I was to dismiss this bike on specs, almost every vid on it has the rider describing how much fun it is to ride, even while acknowledging the known spec shortfalls. I bought one and it's a hoot. Great first bike. And it's cheap enough that I don't necessarily see myself getting rid of it when I'm ready for something faster.

The Scram 411 is what scramblers were when it all kicked off. It's a nice nostalgic nod to an era when things were less complicated, and scrambling was just a bit of fun rather than a do-or-die race with potentially fatal consequences.

@@andrewoh1663 sorry no. Scrambling was very common near river beds and barren lands with thick sand, it moved on to dirt hills and gave rise to motocross and dirt rallies. The original Scramblers from the 60s, the norton metisse, Bsa hornet, montessa la cross, the Greeves challenger, Ascot scrambler, Bonneville tt special were all good at it. Steve McQueen himself reviewed all of them. And fact is all those bikes would either be equal or better than this overweight RE, and they came with actual off-road tyres like the motocross tyres today, not these narrow all season looking tyres. The fact is they haven't improved and even made bike heavier with narrower tyres makes says a lot about this bike. This whole segment now is just an attempt at fake retro looking bikes just like a lot of RE's business, its built on fake nostalgia for things that never existed. They're nothing like an actual old bike from just made to look like them with badly designed 4 stroke engines, actual old bikes like the original Scramblers were all light weight 2 strokes

My buddy had a Himalayan. We were riding a creek bed and he went down in some sand at a low speed. After getting the bike back up the rear wheel was locked, but after some headscratching we realized that the brake pedal had been bent BY THE SAND and was now catching on something. My buddy bent it back into shape with his hand (singular) and we carried on with our fun. He liked the bike, as did we all, but there's a reason it doesn't cost very much.

I really like the way you integrated your sponsor pitch so naturally into this video. Another wonderful video. Thank you.
Please never stop making videos Ryan... you and your team are legendary; to me the Top Gear of the two wheels world!

After that review, I doubt RE would care if you lit the thing on fire as the end scene. Top quality viewing as always and besides, look at all those colours!
Those beach shots with all the beautiful colors are epic.
I've been riding a Himalayan since 2018. It is fantastic. Bought another.
These are the sorts of motorcycle videos that make non riders want to find out what they're missing. Rare, indeed. Some might say, 'priceless'.
Holy hell... that cinematography is levels above anything I've ever seen, absolutely incredible, jaw dropping!

Their Husqvarna review... Watch it if you haven't. But really, all of F9 is on another level.
Love your videos. The most striking thing is how fantastically skilled you are on a bike. I have no fantasies that I could ride that bike like you do. I also love how you integrate technical detail to cut through to the essence of the bike.
fort nine make even the promotional adverts watchable … honestly, you guys are the best out there 👍
I stopped watching motorcycle content over a year ago, but I still snap up every Fortnine video that drops. Every video is made with such love and enthusiasm that he could be talking about anything and I would still be interested. I don't watch bike videos anymore, but who cares about that, look at all those colors.

What a beautiful video. This is only the second video of yours that I've seen and it was awesome. Great creative structure and writing, fun editing and beautiful cinematography. Awesome.
Always the gold standard of reviews, newcomers like me are learning so much from you guys. The 'stressed member' gag had me LOL so loud my partner came in to check up on me. Great, production, great script and flawless delivery, what a fantastic team.
Watching Noraly travel the world on a Himalayan over awful terrain really sold me on them.
One of the reasons why I own a Scram today is this review. Thank you @FortNine !!
Ever video on this channel makes me smile, without exception
Oh boy, here I am planning on moving on from an unreliable Enfield Thunderbird to a nice v- Strom 250 and then you release this lovely little video
One of the few reviewers who does a motorcycle review that leaves you to completely draw your own conclusions. Top Notch!
Glad we got the same colors joke so many times. Didn't get old at all.
I appreciate how well you integrate your sponsorship into the review 😉
This made my day! The Scram 411 is my first motorcycle and I'm loving it, I was stunned at what you actually highlighted it in, what a gorgeous place to test it to the extreme, Silver Spirit is what I have...*but look at all those colors*... 😉

This channel makes few but fabulous content. The writing is phenomenal, the camera work is superb and the editing is beyond comparison.
It's videos like this one that made me a fan of this channel and convinced me I could get into motorcycles in the first place. His review of Enfield's Continental GT convinced me to buy my first bike: its Interceptor twin. Orange Crush, of course. 10,000 miles and a year later, that bike and this channel still make me giggle like a fool. Just happy to be here 👍🏾
Bravo. Just. The writing. The visual story telling. The ending. Bravo bravo bravo. I sometimes listen to these episodes before writing essays; not because they're at all related to my subject matter, but simply because I find your writing so beautifully composed.

Cool. I used the link in the description and saved $65 off the cost of an Insta360 X3 motorcycle kit. I've been wanting one for a while but was waiting for a sale. Thanks FortNine. Great video as always. I like the running gag about all the colors and the beautiful finish.
Sick beach shots! What a good way to combine a review with an ad and also a twist on the current reputation of Royal Enfield. Good job!

What I gathered from this review: 1. Reliable as Frick. 2. Will get you out of whatever hole you got yourself stuck in... eventually. 3. Easy to maintain. Really easy to maintain, just more of it is required. 4. Heavy but strong as frack. Will ride nice on the streets without being too fragile for the dirt. 5. Is just an adventure bike on street tires. But cheap, and better than most scramblers.

The most enjoyable video content i have watched on Fortnine😂 loved it
Hi Team FortNine, a fan for the past 6 years, joined for the love of motorcycles and stayed for Ryan's no beating-around-the-bush attitude with Canadian politeness. Started following in India when you guys were not making videos for viewers for that part of the world, nowadays you guys are actually making the global content, and thanks for including Indian motorcyclists in the fold. Now I am settled in Seattle, since I've been here been looking for a motorcycle(It's way costly to import mine here), and caught my eye on Ducati Sports classic family, found one across the border. I was wishing since you guys are familiar with the area and trade I would love to see Ryan in a video on Ducati Sports classic(possibly on a Godfather theme) and a regular video on how to buy a motorcycle across the border, technicality, and paperwork involved for custom. Keep motorcycling, cheers
I love my Himalayan! It's been super reliable and perfect for the dusty back roads and fire trails here in Australia, with the occasional 6 hour day ride on the highway. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to go back to a CB500X and that Japanese build quality, but since I wanted to avoid the used bike market, nothing came close in price to the Himalayan. Not to mention, I like Itchy Boots ;)
