Nürburgring Nordschleife with Yamaha R6 vs Traffic

[@Murtanio]

I couldn't resist the temptation to ride a lap or two on the Nordschleife in October. Back in 2016 I never rode on weekends because of heavy traffic, but at the end of this year, I had no choice. This was the first real lap of the day (starting with cold tires) after one sighting lap with 5 yellow sectors and track closed afterwards. You need some laps on the Nordschleife to get fast again, so not so fast this time, but smooth and fun :) I've tried the new view of the GoPro 11 called 'Hyperview' and I think the old 'Superview' fits better to onboard videos. What do you think about the view? Recorded in 5,3k 30 fps to try the best picture quality, but the ND8 filter made it too dark this time, so I brightened it up and lost some quality. Enjoy the onboard and if it's too slow to watch, check out my BTG 7:28 lap from 2016 :D Cheers!

[@San_M_o_h_d]

really man if this is slow i don't know what the hell is slow.

[@arrow0872]

What do you reckon your laptime would be with your racebike here?

[@bibhabbag1]

i hope u bring the track spec 10r and do race pace laps of the nordschleife while racing fast cars too. that wud be fun

[@Murtanio]

@@bibhabbag1 Yes but will never happen. Racebikes are not allowed on the Nordschleife

[@Murtanio]

@@bibhabbag1 Racebikes are not allowed on the Nordschleife, but I guess with enough laps and time with a racebike, sub 7 is possible for sure. I think real roadracer like Michael Dunlop could go 6:30 - 7:00 BTG after 50 free laps with a racebike

[@MontgomeryPisswhistle]

I ride a motorcycle and I can't ever imagine me being confident enough in my own ability to ride like that - big respect.

[@brinkipinki]

That's pretty good, I think. Riding like that on the nordschliefe is a pretty sure way to kill yourself, if you're not a pro.

im my eyes the video quality is perfect, the colours, the fov, camera postition. really great to watch, ur smooth rinding paired with those overtakes while leaning makes this video so special for me. ty for uploading

[@DarkIzo]

plus no damn stabilization or 180 degree fov

[@2wheelguru]

Don’t forget we can see his face in the mirrors showing the concentration. Rare to see considering most track footage mirrors are deleted.

[@querly]

Awesome ride 👋🏼😮‍💨

[@dgbucko]

Watched hundreds of these, and lapped the ring a thousand times on Grand Tourismo, but that is the most enjoyable lap i have seen. The number of times I died inside at the upcoming damp patches aged me 10 years mate. Balls of steel. Amazing.

[@ExploreandchillYT]

That three car overtake on the carousel 5:39 was the best thing i've seen all week!

[@Hawaii96720]

awesome as ever. Mahalo from Hawaii. I relive my youth through you. Single soldier back in the mid 90's owned a 1990 GSXR-750 while I was stationed in Colorado. Best riding years of my life. Now that I'm 50, married with kids on an island, there's no where to ride here with speed...safely. So now I just paddle canoes on a downwind for thrills!!! loving life! Ride safe, respect the road and never lose the love for 2 wheels.

[@remember8440]

What a show! I would like to recommend only one thing if possible, add trackside footage. some pure sound fly by, that would be really cool! great riding take care!

[@greatkingrat]

Most people that own a bike like this can’t get anywhere near the bikes capabilities. This rider abilities means he is able to use the entire bikes performance. Amazing to see.

I am impressed. Riding is just something else than driving. The wind, the noise, the physical effort with the hole body involved. Great riding, great filming 🔥👏.

[@irishluckk]

You have to ride to understand, you become the road, every road is a different story.

[@ERiCDrAyViN]

I just love your penultimate corner going into the final corner, accelerating during the final corner and catapulting out of it into the straight, then accelerating off into the sunset! Very impressive to watch and delicious to listen to! Thank you.

[@foxlake6750]

That was perfect, while riding within your limits and respecting other drivers. The video was beautifully shot, I felt like I was right there (236 kph). One of the best runs I’ve seen in awhile.

[@-IE_it_yourself]

yeah and props to the drivers, i watch too many vids like this on YT and people complain about yielding to faster traffic, BUUUT they still have to set up their line in their machine and sometimes you just gotta wait until the corner is finished. this guy showed how it is done. out of the hundred moments only once it was a thread of the needle. once again props for the rider looking at the apex and not the bumper.

[@woudjee2]

The first video of you I have ever watched (popped up into my feed). Holy cow, you've got some serious riding skills. I'm highly impressed by your level of control and your decision making. Well done!

[@jeremymcauliff8485]

Love the pure, raw sound of that R6 working through the gears.

[@madrooky1398]

What a damn smooth ride. It might not seem like it through the helmet cam, but the bike itself was always perfectly positioned, and i kinda could feel that there was only this very fine line of holding back to the absolute limit. And that not only on this track but though all the traffic. Respect.

[@iobenborbiliac5960]

I'm so glad they repaved the track. By the looks of it, it is nice and smoother now with less bumps in a few sectors where I remember watching other videos and it was super bumpy. Great riding! Camera is great quality.

[@Murtanio]

I would prefer to keep the bumps and hills. The difficulty of the track is the reason it's so much fun. The challenge gets easier every year with less bumps.

[@iobenborbiliac5960]

@@Murtanio I respect the hell out of that comment!!! Here in Houston, our local track is bumpy and not that great, but it is fun and you learn to adjust to the tracks conditions. I really enjoy your content and seeing your progression 👍

[@jasmijnariel]

@@Murtanio wait 30y and it will be bumpy again😉

[@TheXeolias]

Impressive fast, clean overtakes, immersive view. Love it 👌🏼

[@964tractorboy]

A great lap. The view suits the action as far as I'm concerned. The speedo reveals a pretty swift lap, as does the time no doubt. Viel Spaß!

[@martinfisker7438]

What a total hero lap. I can't believe the grip (and your trust) that you get over the cement slabs. Especially the second carousel

[@harveydysonwilliams8235]

Awesome footage as always Murtaino. Felt like Christmas when I received the notification for this vid today. Thoroughly enjoyed watching your footage riding on the nurburgring back in 2016 so is great to see you back here. 💪

[@Murtanio]

The second lap with less traffic will be uploaded in roughly a month :)

[@666louis]

Just wow. Looked like you navigated the traffic in a safe manner on top of the brisk pace. Still my stomach was tingling while just watching you on video, I can not fathom riding a motorbike at that pace on the Nordschleife when even a lap in my hot hatchback is already so exhilarating.

[@justamanchimp]

That was awesome, I'm a car guy, never even been on a bike before, this was the first time I've actually get the itch to learn, so cool seeing that perspective

[@truegret7778]

Absolutely a sick, sick ride, man! Thank you for sharing and taking us along for the epic ride. This is by far, by FAR, the best sensory overload video I have ever seen on the Nordschleife ......... I was going to count the number of cars you passed, but lost count 2:00 in and just wanted to enjoy the ride. Thanks again ...... ! [edit] After now ready your description, I think the GP view is great, and a tiny bit dark (I have a GP10) and kind of liking the superview more.

[@numismatric]

Good on ya mate... I watched hundreds of videos over decades of runs around the N-ring and yours hands down is the best run I've seen, you have exhilarating skill... ;)

[@rustytanks]

Video quality is perfect, I agree with the superview, track looks beautiful, traffic was just enough to keep you on your toes, perfect track for a 600 screamer

[@Druezy]

Videos like these inspire guys like myself buy a R3 in the spring and start learning, amazing skill mate!

[@3dcarbonuk243]

What have a just watched! Never watched a bike on the ring, that's given me goosebumps!! Balls of steel and a lot talent, hats of to you squire!!

[@clifficus]

One of the best I’ve seen, a really well sorted R6, the use of the chin mounted Go Pro was perfect allowing viewers to see in the mirrors and exactly what you see…. Perfect, nice move at the carousel 👍😃

[@MrGeoffrey1998]

Damn xD really comforts me into buying an R6, old one like 2004-2008.. amazing machine, top speed is crazy for a 600

I always appreciate a man having a decent pair of mirrors Having no mirrors is just insane (in a bad way) Edit: also, the look of your face when you're almost scrapping the ground is just too damn good

[@LTTUSA]

You meant Balls, right?

[@TVNDRA]

Mirrors look stupid, and if you’re faster than everyone else you don’t need to look behind you. Whenever im on the highway, I’m constantly checking my back anyway, especially before lane switches so I’ve never needed them. I had a shitty 636, and one of the mirrors fell off and shattered after a bump in the road. So I just took the other one off and never used them again lol.

[@normi9033]

@@TVNDRA Mirrors look stupid? They're not supposed to look good or whatever is on your mind, they're supposed to help you see what is on the back of your car when driving. You use your mirrors, then check your blind spot, and then change line. That's their purpose.

[@TVNDRA]

@@normi9033 Yes, you’re right. Except we’re talking about bikes. There is no blind spot when I can just turn my head and see what’s behind me.
