I was trying to figure out what it was about and I think you've solved it

I took my rider's course on a TU250X. It's honestly a great bike. Beats out my Versys 650 for one main reason: I am short rider, I have to tip-toe the Versys. Which would be fine if it was a dual sport that weighed at most a hair over 300 pounds, but on a bike that weighs over 450 pounds? No dice. I've dropped the bike twice because I couldn't catch it as it started tipping.

Went to buy a dual sport, didn't care which one. The only one I could find anywhere in stock was a CRF250L. I've fallen in love with the thing. First brand new vehicle I've ever owned and put 2000 miles (half off road) on it in the year I've owned it.

Just discovered your page and love! I started my son on a bicycle, of course. Then, a Wolf Rugby scooter for a year, then a year on a Yamaha XS650, which we spent countless hours in a parking lot learning clutch friction zone, trail braking, leading with your head and all the other skills needed to ride the right way. He now owns and has mastered an FXDL, SV1000S, and an XR1200.

That's exactly what I did when I got started! $2k for a used TU250x, about $800 for gear and registration! And I'm at about 3000 miles now. :)

@@ihutch92 I'm no where near 3000 miles, but I pulled a similar move. 2001 Suzuki gz250 for 900, I spent a bit more on gear and registration (I have a gear addiction in general). Building up the mileage and maintenance skills bit by bit.

its simple, you get the notification from fortnine, you drop whatever you are doing, click on that like button and start watching the video.

Magnificent man, the production quality clearly shows your love for motorcycles, love it!

Your videos are such high quality and the information you provide is useful. Love the comedy script and the amazing locations.

"if I could put everyone in the world on a motorbike...this would be the one...." Brilliant. And true. Well done.

If you travel to the Eastern Hemisphere, you'll see that they already have. But they're all on SCOOTERS and MOPEDS, about as sporty and stylish as their riders are FAT. Only in Asia, could you see a scooter with 3 passengers get T-boned by another scooter with 3 more! And all 3 combined weigh less than one American Wal Mart shopper.

You deserve all the fans in the world, Ryan! Your work is flawless and inspirational for regular viewers and motorcycle enthusiasts alike. Hats off sir.

I'm two years late, but I completed my MSF course on the TU250x three weeks ago and JUST picked up a well-cared-for 2013 version for my first bike. So happy to see it listed here!

Love your video’s Ryan... Been riding for 15 years and had many bikes and after a brief hiatus this review persuaded me to get a TU250x which I had delivered today. I appreciate your knowledge, passion and sense of humor, all of which are apparent in all your videos.

So... are you dead? Or still loving your bike???

that Zack Effron joke had me rolling

Cracking vid as always. Creative cinematography and truly informative. Just a damn good watch. Thank you.

Had the TUX for years. Was a lovely bike. Rode that slow bike as fast as it would give. Of course I wanted better everything eventually and got a Yamaha XSR700 (which I'd say is the modern equivalent UJM) but I still remember giving the TUX all it could and loving it. Nice shout out to the best little bike out there.

This channel always gives great quality content ❤️

The filming and editing of this is amazing!! Great video

I don't think I've come across a better content creator. You're inspiring!

Jesus the quality of these videos! Love it!

Another fantastic video, Ryan! Say a huge thanks to all your team from us. My wife and I get incredibly excited whenever a new video is released. Keep up the great work!

The production quality of this video was spectacularly amazing. Wow.

I didn't have the RC but the Duke version of 390, it was perfect... When under 100 km/h. Highway speed of 120 km/h you really want a wind shield. If cruising in a city or smaller roads, perfect machine. Huge handlebar makes it easy to maneuver

Thank you very much for this extensive test! I have found it really helpful!

I'm always amazed by the quality videos the FortNine team produces every time... Great job guys keep up the hard work.

Got a 2007 ninja 250 as my first bike and I’m loving it! Thank you for your inspiration and insightful videos, F9 Crew!

Your production value is insane! Watched a few videos and just subscribed!

As a fresh new subscriber to FortNine , I just want to say you do a great job with these videos. I'm very impressed with the quality of production. I wish you future success on the platform. Cant wait to see whats next.

Best contant creator in KZread! Please make videos more often. (:

Thats why i went with a honda rebel 500. Lots and lots of fun,strong enough for highway , pretty light and super agile. Many thanks for your review on it.

That RC390 looks beautiful, reminds me of the RG250 I used to own-loads of fun.Super video as usual.

Another just amazing video.The shots late in the video on the Suzuki cruising with the jazz music playing were simply magic.

Dude, your production level is so high quality

Stall...Stool. Priceless! Thanks for another beautiful production. Also love the night shot at Central City. Go Canucks!

I keep coming back to this video every couple months just to enjoy this amazing medley of motorcycles, cinematography and music!

Not only are the production and content of these videos sublime, but Ryan’s infectious enthusiasm and passions is always so evident.

I just got a lightly used WR250R through a local dealer on Thursday as my first (street legal) bike. Being 6’2”, the KLX250 felt slightly small, while the CRF250L and XT250 all felt way too small to me. I can stand flat foot over the WRR and it just feels fantastic. Cannot wait to get my motorcycle license endorsement and ride! Was going to wait to get the bike until after getting my license, but it was such a rare deal I just couldn’t pass it up. It’s so hard to find them used through a reputable dealer. Plus they even transported it to my home for me!

Sold ! F9 never fails to deliver, thank you ;) 👍

Ryan and the FortNine gang are incredible! I've never had even a moped let alone a motorcycle but have always had a lingering interest in them. Every now and then I find myself watching Ryan's videos and dreaming about riding a motorcycle. Now after a few years I've finally registered myself to a driving school and will be upgrading my license to be allowed to drive a motorcycle. This summer will be the one when I'm going to be enjoying the great outdoors riding one.

Absolutely fantastic presentation and production values again guys. You bring a Top-Gear esque quality and approachability to this content that lets any viewer enjoy it!

Traded my Ducati monster 796 for a wr250r , most fun I’ve had on a bike hands down every ride turns into an adventure now

Yeah I sold my vfr800 and bought a wr250x (SM wr250r).. loved my vfr800, but the wr250x just wins on fun factor and cornering ability. Great for the curvey hills where I live. Hairpin corners are fun again 😁

I've had a TU250X for 4 years now, and it is my favorite bike of all the bikes I have ever owned. Makes you smile on every ride. A "beginner" bike that you will never sell. Great review.

I love this channel Subbed after watching my first video. It's all in there. First rate production. Keep Em coming.

The MSF course I took used a lot of the Suzukis as trainer bikes, it was the one I learned on. It was delightful and I got quite attached to it in those 10 hours.

Not the best video for making a choice, with it's limited number of recommendations. But the quality of fortnine's production is unparalleled. Such a pleasure to watch.
