In the replies you can easily tell who is, or has been a fast biker, and who hasn’t. You did a great ride there, it takes a lot of courage and much more skill than many will understand. Focus on riding your own envelope, treat the Porsches and fast cars just as mobile chicanes. Every fast biker knows that fast cars are for the people who are much too frightened to ride a fast bike, and deep in their souls the car drivers know it as well. You can’t fall off a Porsche, all you really have to do is press the gas pedal, if anything goes wrong, then chassis, protective body shell, air bags, seats, belts, electronic gizmos all work to keep you safe. You don’t agree ? - then go and put leathers and helmet on, straddle a fast bike, pull the visor down and twist the throttle, you’ll never be lonelier and more exposed, closer to your demise than in those moments. The wind is screaming and buffeting around you, your nostrils smell every exhaust and tyre slip in front, you feel the sunlight and shade, the bike flexing as you carve and lean at crazy angles with tyres on the edge of grip, - but you have a helmet and racing leathers. You have to be brave. Respect guy, - go safely. You’ve made an old fast bike lunatic feeling a little younger tonight.

Absolutely anyone can drive a car fast, anyone. It takes titanium balls to push a bike, specially to this level. I’m a pretty sedate rider in comparison.

[@_Triple-B]

amen

[@niceboi6364]

Anyone who has watched a TT island event knows that going fast on a bike is no joke. From the bottom of my heart as a car enthusiast please be safe my brethren. The rush is awesome but your life is more worthy.

The fact that you overtook a full blown 911 992 GT3RS that was made for the nordschleife with an r1 says alot about how great you handle the bike and stay within the limits of your machine, takes some balls to pull off something like that, impressive piloting of that bike, cheers mate!

[@chinsanity9313]

Being on a bike on a track with mostly cars looks fucking terrifying. Bro got some fucking balls and skills

[@AmaanKhan-te8ll]

Well, in terms of performance, the bike out matches the gt3, but it takes serious skill to ride a litre bike like that.

[@spartan12367]

@@AmaanKhan-te8llYes, but in corners if the GT3 RS would have a racing driver inside it would be faster. Better braking and more grip. Riding like this on the nordschleife and in public session is absolutely mad and requires a huge pair of balls

[@heylookeveryoneitsjeff]

I love watching Misha throw cars around the Nordschleife, but POV on a sportbike is a totally different animal, great riding! Getting there is a bucket list thing for me, is traffic on course a problem typically? You for sure handled it well, though I could feel the hesitation analyzing if someone you came up on knew you were there or not. And it seems like you could get caught out easily when they finally moved aside, you gave it a little extra gas, but not too much to blow the corner. That section when you finally had some clear road has to feel amazing. Finally, that black Porsche at the end was for sure fast. Having that much extra contact patch makes a difference on a road course like this it would seem. Great lap for you though!

[@irelax8595]

I have my license and thus have been riding for around 2.5 years now and I can barely touch the floor with my knee in a tight corner. This dude is ripping every corning ON A BUSY TRACK DAY?!! Anyone who says this rider can't ride, is a fool and have ridden a bike FAST. GG brother.

[@haste953]

I don't understand how people can talk shit about this guy's driving when he was taking corners at 200kmh and more. Leaning and taking the corners at those speeds even though he didn't have R11, V02 or Supercorsa tires, he had Diablo Rosso Corsa 4 which are good and have good grip but they are not the top top tires for this kind of racing yet he was still going insane.

[@arnaudnicolau2093]

they are talking shit cause he’s making it look easy. So in fact complementing him 🫡

[@haste953]

@@arnaudnicolau2093 For real, if someone makes bike racing easy then you know they got skills. I bet most people trash talking are just clowns who think riding at high speeds in a straight line takes skill. It's either lack of respect for the bike or lack of fear due to stupidity. What I say to them is always the same, go take a sharp corner at 120kmh and they will, fail, go wide and crash then say it's the tires or some bs.

[@eminji9015]

if anybody is saying this isn’t insane, idk what you think is. Flying past multiple gt3rs’s and doing 250 on the nürburgring is pure madness. Respect to this man, this is just the definition of adrenaline rush

[@Utorak007]

That was unreal to watch, insane sized balls.

[@PrivateCustard]

The trouble with bikes at the ring (and issues arising for the rider as a result) is that it's way way easier to drive a car fast than to ride a bike fast. Most bikers are slow around the ring, like dogshit slow, could be outlapped by a stock '05 Type R. This is a problem when you are a fast rider, and you have to constantly deal with everyone elses preconceived ideas, and surprise that a two-wheeler is absolutely fucking shifting! This was a good lap. Patient, smooth, making sure you have shown yourself in their mirrors. I'm impressed!

[@square7935]

yea every one hates bikes on the ring cause of this

[@isaacbaker4338]

showing yourself in the mirrors is so important, even just in regular traffic. I've had to help read people's minds for them by getting alongside fast before they decide to make that blind no signal merge left that I have to predict

[@ringerbart]

Some semi good bikers are so far in their zone thinking they are fast and cannot be overtaken. So they don't look in their mirrors and the result is they endanger themselves but also the person overtaking. Same applies to some car drivers but it has become better over the years. Your Nordschleife mindset needs to be: there's always someone faster coming so I need to look in the mirror as much if not more as looking forward.

[@PrivateCustard]

@@ringerbart Exactly, someone faster is always sneaking up on you......usually in a battered old shitbox late 90's Beemer!!

[@neilbeatbeat]

Been riding bikes for 48 years now. Age has taken its toll on knee and wrist joints so am not as fast or as responsive as I would like to be, but hey! I know my limits and place in the biking hierarchy now. Your riding is sublime. I loved every minute of that ride. Your overtaking and cornering was beautiful. Keep it up and fight the corner for us bikers over car drivers for as long as you can. You're a true two wheeled legend and ambassador for our passion. Kudos dude. 👍🥃

[@Virvum_Juggernaut]

Doesn’t get much better than an R1 chasing down a GT3RS, but overtaking on a bike must be scary af … just praying that they see you and don’t shut the door on you. Edit : Nice riding man. 👌🏻

[@cheekburek6672]

First time seeing a different pov (not one of these "terrible accidents/best moments on the nord #324) for the nordschleife racing. This vid showed up randomly on my feed and I can say confidently, what a blast it was to watch this! The sound of the engine, you leaning into the corners at crazy high speeds, the deafening sound of the wind, damn. One hell of a brave rider. And those straights, where you were reaching 230-250kmph, damn perfection but also terrifying at the same time. Great video to watch.

This dude man, apart from the skills. He knows every corner and line he took. It is a key in this circuit. Some of the corners you need the throw the car out or in. Some of them you need to floor to gas because if you lift throttle center gravity of your car will be changed and you gonna have a bad time. Even in car you need tons of experience and skils. I can't imagine the bike. If you are not at least semi pro my fellow riders. Absolutely don't try it.

[@xsalow]

Excellent Driver and insane skills !!

[@slayer8actual]

From what I could see on your bike, you topped out at about 150mph on some sections. While that is very fast (most people really don't have a true idea just how fast that is, especially on a bike), 150 mph is not near the top speed for some bikes on other tracks. I have gone much faster than that on other tracks. BUT on this narrow track and with all those cars and their unpredictable drivers drifting from side to side on the track, 150 mph is sketchy as hell. You are an amazing rider and your confidence in your bike and in yourself is very apparent with how you handled the track AND the traffic! Excellent video!

[@CBCycles]

Wow! Yes dangerous as all hell, my heart nearly stopped at 3:28. Phenomenal riding, and there were some very fast cars, but I wouldn’t be able to enjoy myself with all that traffic.

[@KingJerbear]

Great lap! You were able to be incredibly impressive and fast while also being extremely safe around traffic and much slower drivers. I would imagine for a rider there is probably nowhere more enjoyable than the Nordschleife

No silly moves putting anyone in danger (that almost stationary biker wobbling into that corner made his own luck!), did a really good job of keeping up with some quick cars, which let’s face it are much more suited to this track.
