RAW onboard: little Honda CHASING random FIREBLADE

[@royaljordanian]

"Real Motorcyclist" bullshit. Anyone on 2 wheels with an engine is a Motorcyclist, be it 50cc or 1800cc. Nice vid schaaf :)

[@Taltsi]

First "Real Motorcyclist" who thinks im a "Real Motorcyclist" :D

[@Schaaf]

thank you, RJ! Of course you are right. Still I'm almost thankful that ignorant pricks do exist. Without them I wouldn't be able to really and deeply appreciate the "good guys" out there! :)

[@ShawnSmoak]

I couldn't agree more RJ!!!

[@mikezeke9654]

for sure :)

[@Buzzgrower]

Respect

[@michaelevans1658]

Better to ride a small bike well ,than a big bike badly.

[@Schaaf]

+Michael Evans yes! Thanks Michael!

[@lgeiger]

+Michael Evans Well said!

[@BenjaminOlofsson]

It's really an awesome feeling watching you ride. Stumbled upon your account a few weeks ago while browsing through random videos on YT and I'm really glad I did. Keep it up man and ride safe. Greetings from Sweden!

[@NukaMoto]

Love this vid! Every biker has different things they like, whether it be a tricked out streetfighter, supersport, enduro, cafe racer or anything else. Anyone on a motorcycle is my friend :) Bikers unite!

[@Schaaf]

that's how it should be :) Thanks!

[@efpet66]

great ride ! i've got the same bike as you but not the same riding level (for the moment...) you show that controlling 50hp is nicer than using 25% of a 150hp bike ! congratulations !

[@Schaaf]

+efpet thank you! To me it definitely feels more fun to max out a small bike than having to behave myself on a big machine :)

[@efpet66]

+Schaaf i've got a gpz500 for the road and a cb500 for the pleasure. wont change them for a too powerful (and expensive)1000cc. and to answer to others comments, in France you could find a nice cb from 1200usd and we also have nice roads to enjoy them :-)

[@2bitmarketanarchist337]

I don't know anything about motorcycles, what bike is this? This looks like an absolute blast! I've thought getting a motorcycle someday would be awesome but I have absolutely no idea where to start and I have no desire for a super bike

[@kovrcek]

Well I rode sv650 for 2 years and yes it was very fun. But also very dangerous, that thing had bad suspension (compared to my R1) and weak brakes. R1 is also strangely more comfortable. So it's not all about power you see. But I know the feeling when you feel like your bike is a bicycle (you outperform your bike).

[@AustrianCowboy]

Ich LIEBE diese Onboard Videos von der kleinen Honda!!! Sie hat so viel Charakter! Das is auch der Grund warum ich mir eine zugelegt hab! Gemütlichstes und fahrleichtestes Bike überhaupt!

[@rureadyboots]

Schaff its not what you ride its how you ride it! I love watching you thrash the little honda.

[@Schaaf]

that's what I'm preaching ;) Thank you!!

[@whitemarmite]

A very strong video showing that going fast is never about the bike you ride, it's about the rider in control.

[@Schaaf]

thank you very much!

[@WheelsNotHeels]

What a great attitude; nice to meet another rider who is open to other rider's skills. What a fun ride you guys had carving that road...I was (trying to) leaning right along with you, imagining I was riding with such skill! Great vid, Schaaf!

[@Irwingcomoto]

I was leaning too /o/. You Sir really knows how to ride. And yes, i hate those guys who think that the real bikers are only the ones with super bikes. I used to have a Suzuki Yes 125cc, then a Ninja 250 and now a GSX 650F, but i really considered to bought a CB500 just like your, and i was looking for videos of this bike like a year ago and then i found you... even not buying the bike, i keep up with your videos !

[@WheelsNotHeels]

Irwing Silva Yes, Schaaf is a fav of mine...you said it well!

[@Schaaf]

WheelsNotHeels Irwing Silva Thank you SO much!! You guys rock!

[@BikerBoyzTeam]

Nice riding!!! Your videos are really good :D

[@Schaaf]

thanks a lot!! :)

[@code255]

I've had a guy on some 50 cc or so moped nearly catch up to me on my 650 cc ER-6n on this road when I was breaking it in and learning the feel of it. Schaaf would kick my ass with his 500 even if I'd practice riding this road for a week. :O

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKIN ABOUT! The moto world is amazing :)

[@Schaaf]

It truly is. Thanks a lot, Salt!!

[@nickbishop6784]

Cubes aren;t the be all of having fun and being able to put a huge grin on your face.. Keep safe and enjoy youre little Honda.

[@Schaaf]

Right on

[@Finnoctane]

Dude you should post some of the audio to Soundcloud, we can relax and clear the mind while listening to your Honda revving around Austrian mountains. Can't get enough of that popping on deceleration!

[@Schaaf]

I've got a youtube playlist with all my onboard rides on my channel. Just press play and listen ;) Thanks for the nice words, I hope I can further improve my recording technique this season :)

[@Finnoctane]

Awesome. If I remember right, like me, you also use a Zoom H1. The left/right pickups are on top of each other so you probably loose the 'stereo feel'. I use Giant Squid Audio Lab's lav mic (it doesn't require a crappy battery), they also do a stereo version which would allow you to increase the distance between the pickups inside your bag to get a greater variation between the left/right channels. Just my two cents, not me saying I know any better - hope it helps :)

[@fujkami78]

Yeah really good video. So nice to hear the motor! I hate it when people add terrible Muzak so wie im Fahrstuhl. Geht mich vollig auf die Nerven. The camera work is superb. The bike sounds fantastic. The riding skills are first class. I lived for a year in the Black Forest so the scenery is nice as well. Gruesse aus Boston in den USA.

[@Schaaf]

Fuj Kami thanks a lot brother!

[@lurker-mq4fp]

Just discovered your videos as I am buying a 2002 CB500 to replace my stolen 1000cc mega-bike. Your videos cheer me up! I am looking forward to it now.

[@Schaaf]

sorry to hear that but at least I can assure that you've made an excellent choice :D

[@lurker-mq4fp]

I have just picked up my new steed...but the original mirrors are a bit battered. What kind are on yours?

[@gazsermark]

An amazing video, as usual:) I myself am riding a small cc (300) bike, too, and those who say a small bike is not as fun as a bigger one clearly don't know what they are talking about. It's always a pleaseure to watch your vids, ride safe Schaaf!

[@Schaaf]

Thank you very much!! You are so right!

[@Stuepel01]

Du sollst doch nicht die "großen" ärgern Schaaf :-) Schönes Video!

[@Schaaf]

hehehe, danke vielmals :)

[@sierragolf1074]

There is also a clip around of a yellow goldwing 1800 who is followed by a proper racer who has a gopro. That guy on the racer almost loses the goldwing out of sight. Those are lovely clips to watch. Same like this one! Ride safe schaaf!

[@Schaaf]

yea I think I've seen that one before as well! :)) Thanks!!

[@ktmkevin]

and this is why i'm picking up a Yamaha MT-03 next saturday! So much fun blasting a little bike around curvy roads, chasing supersports!

[@Schaaf]

awesome, the MT-03 must be fantastic to ride!

[@andrewrogers1652]

Another awesome video Schaff. You really know how to hustle that little Honda of yours!!

[@Schaaf]

thanks a lot, Andrew!

[@sweatiingbullets]

That was awesome! I wish we had roads like that here. Glad to hear that the guy on the Fireblade was cool. It's always nice to meet friendly bikers.

[@Schaaf]

indeed it is! Thanks a lot!!

[@ToastToGo]

I love it when riders on little bike can hold their own in the twisties. Awesome video. :D

[@ZoneTelevision]

This is really it. I totally agree.

[@Schaaf]

Zone Television ToastToGo thanks, guys!!

[@lgbuli]

wiedermal ein sehr gutes video... fahrleistung von dir.. na wie kann es denn anders sein... als TOP! thnx for sharing... safe rides

[@cz9956]

Nice riding. I've just sold my CB750 which I bought 5 years ago after only one season on my 1st bike, GS500. Now I understand that my decision was too quick and I'm not looking for a 100HP or more. I'm gonna get myself CB or CBF500 as I still have something to prove on 500cc :) Your videos are really inspiring.

[@Schaaf]

glad to read that!! Thanks! Good luck with finding a nice 500 :)

[@BlackcatFromElsass]

Sorry for the delay but no time to write a comment instead (lots of work!) When I had my CB 500, I loved chase bigger bike than the little Honda, and your video reminds me a lot of memories, thank you Schaaf !

[@Schaaf]

no need to be the fastest everywhere ;))))) Thank you, Blackcat! Glad my videos can do this for you!

[@danbacler]

They criticize you for jealousy, they cannot believe their ears and their eyes when you and your "little Girl" pass them by. You are a great Driver man and you have a great bike. Thanks for the videos.

[@Schaaf]

thank you for the nice comment!!

[@mortenboyelarsen9905]

Give that little Honda just a few more BHP and the Fireblade is history!! Awesome video /driving!

[@Schaaf]

thanks a lot!

[@YeOldOak]

Nice riding Schaaf, on the twisties there won't be much that could lose you on the CB.

[@Schaaf]

thanks, Oak! Much appreciated!

[@BlackcatFromElsass]

And all the best to your new friend!

[@194Easy]

Not machine, but practice makes you good rider.

[@kokoloko12398]

You're a great rider. You can easily follow a 954 with a CB500 ;)

[@nicholaschriss1706]

Saw this year's ago, still a great video, reminds me when I had my cb500 and my license. People just don't understand what an underrated bike the old cb is. It goes stops and turns in well

[@Schaaf]

It definitely offers the best value ;)

[@wokeupandsmellthecoffee214]

Awesome schaaf, nice story at the end too. Agree with RJ any 2 wheel bike is a biker irrespective of their engine size

[@Schaaf]

thank you! :)

[@Vauzwo]

I‘ve watched this Video quit a few times. But it always is fun and the chat of you both is how every biker chat should be 🙌 What a long way you came from to you actual Videos 👌

[@Schaaf]

Thanks a lot man :)

[@TrasyMotocyklowe]

Love your videos!!! I have XJ600N, something like your CB500:-) You inspire me to dynamic cornering and to ride at all! Greetings from Kraków, Poland!

[@Schaaf]

thanks a lot :) Best wishes from Vienna, Austria :)

[@TrasyMotocyklowe]

Schaaf Thanks, be careful!

[@HugoGSamuraiHg]

"Chase mode Engaged " Very nice ride and very cool you guys had a chat :) Very good video Thumbs up

[@ChrisRoyal]

You could tell from the jump who was more confident..

[@Schaaf]

***** thanks a lot, Sam!!!

[@raphaelslechten6444]

Good spirit for riding a motorcycle, mate. Always nice to meet a kindred spirit on two wheels, especially if you're having fun in the process. You got some major riding skills too. Always fun to watch videos like this (subbed btw). Ps: 'Round here, the only people who ever spoke of 'real riders' were people who don't ride themselves. It's so easy to pass judgement on what they don't know. Keep riding and sharing, bro. Stay safe and have fun!

[@Schaaf]

thank you very much for your nice words, Raphaël! I really appreciate the sub!

[@hopstir69]

Hope your new year has been good! Another amazing video!

[@Schaaf]

So far I can't complain ;) Thanks, mate!

[@Dracati]

Great road and great attitude , thx for the upload! Keep rippin' those corners up, Bravo!

[@Schaaf]

thanks a lot!!

[@williamwalker4494]

I have the same bike 1994 Honda CB500 PC26 but never ride it like that, after i had a spill in 2005, and broke my collar bone. Inspiring to watch you ride.

[@Schaaf]

thanks for letting me know

[@mathewnewton314]

Its all about the corners. My little CB handles very sweetly. Sometimes its great to get 75% out of a smaller bike than 40% out of a litre sports bike.

[@Schaaf]

yup

[@wallaceandgromitltd]

Nice one, and hats off to the chap on the blade for his great attitude... every time I go out I am guaranteed to get snobbery of others. then like you say when you meet those who dont give a dam what you ride it still only has two wheels! it is a good feeling.

[@Schaaf]

Exactly!! Thanks for your nice comment!

[@wallaceandgromitltd]

you are welcome...keep up the good riding

[@mikefry6765]

You are a good guy schaaf, only just discovered your channel as I am considering a cb for my wife to learn on. I used to ride an xt 600 for many of the same reasons you do and I learned to keep up with much better and bigger bikes so I totally get where you are coming from.

[@Schaaf]

thanks Mike

[@duarte5dm]

Awesome video as always Shaaf keep safe man!

[@Schaaf]

thanks, Xamber. Glad you still hang around ;)

[@duarte5dm]

Always! ;)

[@TheSIBI19]

Super Video. Bist schön an ihm dran geblieben. Aber das mit dem Highsider war schon fast abzusehen. Den beim ihm war ja mal Hanging Off gar nicht gegeben. Mach weiter so. Allzeit gute und Unfallfreie fahrt.

[@Schaaf]

Man kann übrigens auch ohne Hangoff an den Rand des Reifens gehen. Auf der Straße zumindest. Alles, was es dazu braucht, sind 3 funktionierende Gehirnwindungen und ein klein wenig Gefühl in der rechten Hand. Ich verzichte meist auf Hangoff, weil es sich mit der CB erstens scheiße anfühlt und zweitens steh ich mehr auf größere Schräglagen als größere Kurvengeschwindigkeiten. Danke, ich hab im Physikunterricht aufgepasst, ich weiß, was es bringt, wenn man den Schwerpunkt weiter runter bewegt. Hangoff wird immer am schnellsten sein. Aber nicht automatisch am sichersten. Das kommt immer auf den Fahrer und auf die Strecke und auf die jeweilige Situation an.

[@incu85]

Gut gefahren, gut geschnitten. Immerwieder schön anzusehen. Bist mir schon das eine oder andere mal entgegengekommen. Ist auch mein Hausberg :) Weiter so!

[@Schaaf]

leiwand :) Danke!!

[@spiritfall]

Man, u re better rider than most bikers on 600's or 1000's. Technique makes you real motorcyclist not that how big your bike is. Cheers mate!

[@Schaaf]

much appreciated, thank you!!!

[@LukaZloglea]

Nice riding, every dude on a bike is for me a fellow friend! Thank you for posting this video! Ehte spitze!¨;) Grettings from Croatia ;) peace

[@Schaaf]

+Luka Zlogleđa thank you Luka!!!

[@rochie0]

i would love to see you on a bigger bike, because you certainly push the 500 to its limits and then some. awesome vid, very talented :)

[@Schaaf]

I would love to see myself on a bigger bike as well ;) I certainly won't upgrade too soon but maybe I still can test ride something different this season!

[@timbodancer]

So cool video!! Keep on pushing! It is never the bike only the rider!

[@Schaaf]

thanks Tim!

[@TehWulf]

wow, nach nem highsider is sicher nicht leicht wieder aufs moped zu steigen, größten respekt an joe^^ und wie immer super gefahren :) hast ja doch noch einiges an material zum verwerten, dachte du bist nicht soviel gefahren?

[@Schaaf]

danke dir!! :) Die letzten 17 Onboard-Videos (bis auf den Winter-Test und die SlowRoll Challenge) sind alle an 3 Tagen entstanden. 2 Tage Sommerurlaub, 1 Tag im Herbst. Ich filme und verwerte nur recht sorgfältig ;)

[@NubbyTV101]

Top bit of riding there. Good video. Very entertaining. Thanks for posting. Stay safe.

[@Schaaf]

thanks for watching and commenting!!

[@shaneweightman]

some good riding you did there m8 to catch up ,, good stuff shane

[@Schaaf]

thanks, shane!

[@AllThingsSuperMoto]

This reminds me of riding with my friend. We both have CB750s and when we get to the twisties i go around the corners about 15-20mph faster than he does then he gets all ballsy and flys by me when im not paying attention on the straight away and i just chuckle to my self even tho ive raced him in the straight away and beaten him EVERYTIME even literally when he'd been riding for about 6 months and id been riding for about 2 weeks... on my first bike a 750 lol!

[@Schaaf]

haha getting ballsy on the straight bits. Totally badass ;)

[@AllThingsSuperMoto]

yea i think im just a way better rider than him lol

[@Hondacb500Gijon]

Hi ,Schaaf .Always shows good views from your CB 500 ;) . On very tight bends , we ,both , know what can be done with the CB .There is no complex when I ride with powerful bikes on the bends .... Straight lines are not challenge for us ;))) See you .

[@Schaaf]

that is 100% correct, my friend!! Thank you! :)

[@tiborwolf8909]

Well done brother 👍😁

[@Schaaf]

Thanks 👍

[@phantom_Biker]

proves the point of its not what you have but how you use it.before my blade |i had an 848 and would show up big bikes all the time.they used to think it was a 1098 before I corrected them.nice vid.

[@Schaaf]

thanks a lot, phantom! A member of the group I sometimes go riding with used to have an 848 as well - what a weapon!!!

[@phantom_Biker]

I would love another but the running costs were too much for me.maybe an 899 next as it has no belts to worry about.

[@ItsGerriJ]

Da will man doch auch gleich wieder auf's Bike!! Sehr tolle Videos machst du! :)

[@Schaaf]

danke dir! :)

[@scruti]

¿That sound are pegs scraping? Wow dude, you always surprise me about what can be done with our "little" CB/CBF 500.

[@Schaaf]

yes, the sound is coming from the pegs!! Thanks, man!

[@xleeb0y13x]

Some killer riding there bro. You sure can lean that bike.

[@Schaaf]

thanks man!

[@Pallander]

You always take those cornes so good ;) its awesome how your name is schaaf because it dutch it means that you are like scraping the road just like you do in your videos ;D

[@Schaaf]

hahaha I just looked up 'schaaf' in the dutch-german online dictionary! That's awesome!! :D Thanks for telling me this, Finn!!

[@Tacho50Channel]

Wie immer schön anzusehen. Du verbläst mich ja zweimal übern Kogel ;-)

[@Schaaf]

danke danke!! Na gut, ich bin dort auch schon unterwegs, seit dem ich 16 bin. 8 Jahre mittlerweile ;)

[@pavel514mtlQC]

You're an excellent rider!!! loved that video

[@Schaaf]

thanks a lot, Pavel!!

[@angelomcmxc]

Wieder mal ein geiles Video! Vielleich seh ma uns mal irgendwann da in meinem Revier :)))))

[@Schaaf]

Danke, Jack!! Alles ist möglich ^^

[@cinemamaster]

ein weiterer Beweis, dass es bei weitem nicht auf ccm sondern aufs können und die einstellung im kopf ankommt! gfallt ma sehr und kanns kaum erwarten mich auf meine cb500 zu schwingen :)

[@Schaaf]

Danke dir vielmals!! :)

[@vickydude525]

You ride like I would if I could! So much control..

[@Schaaf]

thank you very much!!

[@mrpete1972]

Nice vid, you really know how to strangle all the power out of your twin... Top ride

[@Schaaf]

thank you very much!!

[@florianhillenbrand1533]

Sehr geiles Video. Egal welches Moped, die linke zum Gruß, das zählt.

[@Schaaf]

danke, Flo!!

[@jezzamarkham5285]

What a beautiful piece of road to ride !!

[@Schaaf]

I'm lucky enough to call this one my "home track" ;)

[@jezzamarkham5285]

Schaaf I have to say i'm pretty lucky with the roads around me. I live in a beautiful area of the UK with lots of country roads but that stretch on your vlog looks like banking heaven.Good luck with the videos and stay shiny side up.

[@Schaaf]

Jeremy Markham thanks!! You too ride safe!!

[@josterfosh]

Dude, your bike is the bomb. I regard you as a true motorcyclist. I have a little cb400, you should check it out.

[@Schaaf]

thanks, man! Got a video of that cb400?

[@PiotrHarison]

Same in Poland, "no 1000cc, no riding" "130hp is nothing" etc. Rule is to don't mind that sick theories and drive whatever You want to. Peace Shaaf! :)

[@mcdk72]

cb 500 is awesome! bought a new one in 96.

[@CbrHooniganSendit]

Impressive video man, Was it the knee sliders scraping or the pegs? that was mad lean angle so it oculd of been both maybe aha :) alot of motorbike riders underestimate little bikes, just because they can gas it in a straight line and be away from them, but as soon as the next corner comes up their right up behind them again

[@Schaaf]

thanks a lot!!! The scraping sound came from the pegs. I very rarely ride hang off.

[@CbrHooniganSendit]

ahh ok, i just saw the lean angle, and it definitly could be thought its your knee scraping, brilliant channel man :)

[@storchi1975]

Gute Fahrt wie immer :). Dank Mittermeier weiss ich auch; Du sollst doch nicht rauchen, ist ungesund (ich rauch auch, haha). Wie siehts bei Dir aus mit Schnee? Ich hab zum Glück noch keinen aber wir werdens noch sehen. Ist schon schön wie man sich an die ganze Fahrt erinnert, wenn man das Video dazu sieht. Top wie immer!

[@Schaaf]

danke, Andi!! :) Rauchen tu ich glücklicherweise nur beim Moped fahren oder wenn ich Alkohol trink. Letzteres kommt glücklicherweise nicht mehr sehr oft vor, also kann ich einigermaßen mit der Sucht leben ^^ Bei uns hats noch keinen Winter gegeben. Bis jetzt. Gefällt mir gar nicht, im letzten Jahr war's ähnlich. Und dann hat der Winter bis in den April hinein gedauert...

[@storchi1975]

Schaaf Genau das ist auch meine Angst und ich will doch im Mai nach England :((

[@theschurrll]

You know how not to give a single fuck haha. which setup do you use? leovince and K&N? or somehing else? Ride on, and CB 500 4 Life

[@33WingNuts]

i know it doesn't matter what you ride but how you ride it but it is always a nice warm feeling keeping up with a sportsbike... As you say some really dont like it though :)

[@Schaaf]

it truly is. To me riding quick in "closed formation" is the ultimate thrill. Biking doesn't get any better than that for me.

[@IFettwurstI]

Ich hatte das am Gardasee mit meiner 125er. In den Kurven war ich immer so nah dranne, dass ich sie gleich überholt hätte und auf der Geraden sind sie mir dann weggefahren. Einige haben denn nen Daumen gezeigt oder mich vorbei gelassen ;) Man wird immer leicht unterschätzt. Wie jetzt auch mit meiner 400er Sumo. Ich kann das denn auch nicht nachvollziehen, wie man jemanden mit wenig Kubik belächeln kann. Schickes Video!

[@Schaaf]

Willkommen in meiner Welt ^^ Danke dir!!

[@kanalSwissBlade]

Wundert dich das, dass dann und wann Einer angepisst ist, wenn ihm hartnäckig ne kleine, relativ schwachbrüstige 500er Honda am Hintern klebt? Aber zum Glück gibt's immer wieder gute Beispiele, wo einfach nur das Motorradfahren - die Freude daran - im Vordergrund steht und man sich vorbehaltlos gegenseitig akzeptiert ((-; tolles Vid!

[@Schaaf]

Wundern tut's mich überhaupt nicht, aber manchmal ärgert es mich doch. Ist aber im Endeffekt auch ganz spannend zu beobachten, vor allem, wenn ich in größeren Gruppen unterwegs bin. Da gibt's dann einige, die mich schon kennen, die mich und mein Moped schätzen und manche, die das gar nicht wahrhaben wollen/können. Ich liebe es, Menschen zu beobachten. ;) Und wie solche Kandidaten dann zusätzlich verwirrt werden, weil der Rest der Gruppe sich anscheinend sogar total über meine Anwesenheit freut, das ist dann wirklich höchst amüsant zu beobachten. Fehlendes Verständnis und Ignoranz ist aber sowieso ein menschliches Problem. Das hat nicht wirklich was mit Mopedfahrern zu tun. Regt mich wo anders noch viel mehr auf. Beim Mopedfahren geht's zwar für uns um alles aber im Endeffekt doch um nichts ;) Da kann man wenigstens noch über engstirnige Deppen lachen. :) Danke dir, mein Freund!!

[@Schaaf]

SimonN98 Danke. Nach Bayern vielleicht. Da sieht's nämlich aus wie bei uns daheim ;)

[@CARLOvonH]

Genau ... du bringst es auf den Punkt.

[@haumichbreit]

Beeindruckende Fahrweise, Keule! Ich kanns garnicht abwarten bis endlich März ist :/

[@Schaaf]

Danke :))) Wem sagst du das... Wobei ich, so lange wie der Winter auf sich warten lässt, Sorgen bekomme, dass wir den gleichen Scheiß wie letztes Jahr erleben. Winter bis Ende April...

[@haumichbreit]

Schaaf die Befürchtung hatte ich auch schon, Daumen drücken!

[@budgieboy911]

Some of the lines you took through the corners were shocking hahaa good pace non the less. you only grip the throttle with 3 fingers????????

[@Schaaf]

4 fingers! Why shocking?

[@MrTwix0r]

i ride a ktm 950 sm myself(and i enjoy the heck outa it) but i trully believe that it isn't the bike that makes you a great rider its the way you ride your bike. i live in near the german border and spend most of my weekends in the ruhreifel. and i see loads of R1's and equal bike riders that are riding like shit. hardly are able to take a corner etc. the only thing they shine on is on longer straights. i trully enjoy seeing you push your bike to the limits and scrape those foodpegs to dust. keep up the good work with your awesome vids!

[@Schaaf]

thanks a lot for your awesome comment, I really appreciate it! This is why YT is so much fun. Apparently and luckily many folks think just like you and it's my greatest pleasure to share my rides with people like you!!

[@belchinees]

Can I introduce a nickname to your right index finger when you accelerate? 'The Schaafinger' It's like you are telling your motorcycle: " I want to go that way, and fast!" :D

[@Schaaf]

:D I'm sorry but already they call me "goldfinger" ;)

[@VossaBerne]

Coole Videos die du da machst! Ich jage meine kleine (gs 500) auch immer ordentlich ;) Super Fahrstil übrigens! Sag mal was für Reifen hast du drauf?

[@Schaaf]

danke vielmals! :) Bridgestone BT45 fahre ich!

[@johnnymcjohnson6607]

Johnny heißt er ;-) War echt eine geile Runde, und die 2 Tschick gibst mir einfach zurück wenn wir uns nächste Saison am Tulbinger treffen ;-) Danke und eine großen Respekt auch an alle anderen die hier unterwegs sind und, wie bereits oft geschrieben, die richte Einstellung für des Hobby mitbringen! Freu mich schon auf weitere Videos von dir, die halten einen den Winter über echt bei der Stange XD LG, Johnny mit der Feuerschneide

[@Schaaf]

Johnny! Jössas, da hab ich doch glatt ein paar Buchstaben eingespart - naja, ist ja auch schon wieder eine Weile her ;) Freut mich sehr, dass du dich selbst gesehen hast und mir so einen netten Kommentar hinterlässt!! Es war mir eine große Ehre, unsere Fahrt zu verewigen ;) Beim nächsten Mal machen wir dann ein Fireblade-Onboardvideo. Schreib mir hier einfach eine Nachricht per KZbin, wenn du wieder unterwegs bist :)

[@johnnymcjohnson6607]

Schaaf Sowieso!! Kanns eh kaum erwarten, dass die Saison wieder anfängt XD Fireblade Onboard videos gibts sogar, nur weiß ich leider nicht wie ich die Gschicht am besten bearbeiten kann?! Da wollt ich dich eh schon seit längerem fragen mit welchem Videoschnittprogramm du fährst, bzw, wie ich den Tacho so leiwand rausschneiden kann ;-)? LG

[@Schaaf]

Johnny McJohnson wart, ich schick dir eine Nachricht!

[@Richie65afc]

I have subbed your channel after watching some really good videos. Is the little Honda standard apart from the exhaust? All bikes these days seem to be going bigger engine sizes and your little Honda looks fun to ride.

[@Schaaf]

Rich West it's a lot of fun to ride for the very little money it costs! Check out my walkaround video to see all the mods: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5TWgmugedZ6mLc

[@ivanpatruno4711]

YOU ARE THE TOP MAN

[@Schaaf]

thanks Ivan

[@nerdexproject]

Genau so wünsche ich es mir auch! Dank der selben Leidenschaft mit neuen Leuten in Kontakt kommen und tolle Bekanntschaften machen! Vielleicht kommt er wieder mal in einem deiner Videos vor, wär cool! :)

[@Schaaf]

Hoffentlich!! Genau so muss es sein!

[@xheroxkefx]

Breathtaking, enjoyed the fucking full length of this vid soooo amazing

[@Schaaf]

thanks man!

[@JoeRUGBY10]

I wish i could ride my cb500 like that !! Good video !

[@Schaaf]

you could! Just take your time, relax, and practice. I succeeded with riding quick the moment I stopped trying too hard.

[@blaneysiktube]

Nice riding man! I used to always get angry people when I beat thenm on a 125 haha. You could do with having your footpegs raised!

[@Schaaf]

my pegs are not the problem. They are equipped with tiny springs. The pegs start to "fold up" (dunno how to say this in English) as soon as they touch the ground. I just have to lift off my foot a little. The actual problem is the exhaust on the right side. It's mounted very low.

[@blaneysiktube]

Ah rite I thought the scraping was your pegs ha, cos in moto GP ther almost like pillion pegs. Yeah I'd say fold up is the rite way of sayin it. You should try n make a custom system to get it higher

[@Schaaf]

blaneysiktube The pegs do scrape! But they are not limiting my lean angle. I'll have to film this this spring to show you guys (it also looks kinda rad). It's actually not that hard to change the CBs exhaust pipe. There are CB500 racing series. All of them have modified exhausts mounted a lot higher. But the police will immediately take away my license plate if they catch me with such an illegal mod. That's why I'm not changing it. Maybe I will as soon as I have another bike as backup. But this is not going to happen anytime soon.

[@blaneysiktube]

Yeah if its not broke don't fix it ! Look forward to seeing it

[@byronhall5145]

i think your riding skill said it all for the fireblade. i like what rj said. a motorbike is a motorbike. i doubt i would get anywhere near you on my er500.

[@Schaaf]

thank you! True!

[@DBenX]

..bist deppat. und auf einmal war da dieser psycho hinter mir :P Leiwandes Video, meine Hausstrecke, fahr da in die Arbeit und retour und liebe es. Bei deine Fußrastenschleifer, hätte ich überlegt die Fußrasten vielleicht i-wie höher zu legen.

[@Schaaf]

Die Rasten haben mich nie gestört. Und seit einigen Jahren schon bin ich nicht mehr so schräg unterwegs ;)

[@kevjeffreys4721]

Two wheels you will always have my respect great riding I ride a blade and if someone passes me il take my hat of to them there always some faster out there Great video

[@Schaaf]

thanks a lot, Kev

[@BurOzt]

Great ride, I am sure you are much more faster than these bikers who have ego problems ;)

[@Schaaf]

thanks! Some are quicker, some are slower :)

[@macdiddles7000]

Nice riding. Can hear you scrape 😎

[@Schaaf]

thanks

[@tastyhamsandwhich]

Oh how I know those feels. Faster in the corners but can't overtake, when it opens up so do they and no chance of passing...

[@Schaaf]

Exactly. Luckily we have a couple of winding roads here which never really let them open up the throttle that much. On such roads I just chase them in the most annoyingly way possible. Usually doesn't take long until they move aside.

[@Nerb1]

Cmon Ham, thats what brakes are for. When you bigger faster bikes under brakes, they dont get their run out of the corner.

[@tastyhamsandwhich]

Nerb1 I don't think I follow.. ?

[@Nerb1]

tastyhamsandwhich I might have missed a word... when someone is faster in a straight line, you pass under brakes and then it doesnt matter if they have a faster bike, because you have slowed their exit speed. Isnt that what you were referring to? Or was I mistaken?

[@tastyhamsandwhich]

Nerb1 Oh I see what you mean now. That works great on a race track (I've done this many times at Eastern Creek) but there's no chance I would try that on the road. Definately not on a one lane road :P A two lane road is better, but still sketchy when you are both riding fast. The only time I would get close to another bike while going fast on the road would be coming up to a straight so I could pass them safely. But what I was referring to was when the straights come up, usually the big bike is keen to leave the 250 behind and takes off.. Then the corners start again and the 250 is stuck behind the big bike again! I think you just missed that we were talking about the street :)

[@stainlessk1]

ich habe mal ähnlich begonnen, zwar keine 500ccm sondern 700ccm und ca. 75PS dennoch war mir die Power irgendwann zu wenig.Bin dann auf eine XJR 1300 umgestiegen wo mir die Kraft schon ordentlich imponiert hat. Leider hatte dieses Moped kein ABS und auch sonst keinerlei Sicherheitsfeatures. Richtig Spaß brachte mir erst die S1000R. Gerade Bergfahrten oder aus den Kurven richtig heraus beschleunigen mal auf der Autobahn Gas geben oder nur den endgeilen Sound genießen. Das ist einfach pure Kraft die ich jeden Moment genieße. Ich respektiere alle Mopedfahrer egal ob Schwalbe oder Supersportler. Es kommt doch drauf an für was man das Moped braucht. Für in der Stadt zur Eisdiele zu fahren brauch ich keine 200PS sondern was wendiges Kleines (hab ich auch ne Ducati Scrambler)aber wenn man wie ich jährlich zwischen 15T bis 25T fährt dann braucht man was mit mit mehr Hubraum bzw. Leistung. @ Schaaf ich finde deine CB500 richtig Klasse und auch deine Skills sind sehr gut...fährst du eigentlich Hangin Off ;-) ?Gefühlt sind jede 3. Kurve die Knie auf dem Boden ;-)

[@Schaaf]

Danke, nein, die CB fahre ich meist neutral.

[@pekae9191]

Ich kenne das nur zu gut. Ich selbst fahre eine Suzuki SV650S mit 72 PS und habe auch die Erfahrung gemacht, dass man auf kurvenreichem Terrain nicht selten sogar schneller unterwegs ist als die "großen" Maschinen. Ich für meinen Teil wurde zumindest in der Fränkischen Schweiz noch nie überholt, wenn ich es darauf angelegt habe, außer auf langen Geraden. Wo bist du denn immer so unterwegs? Wollte auch schon mit MotoVlogs auf englischen anfangen, nur hätte ich schon im Deutschen meine Schwierigkeiten, da ich beim Fahren nicht wirklich multitaskingfähig bin und so ständig den Faden verlieren würde =D Super Videos, die ich bis jetzt von dir gesehen habe, habe dir mal ein Abo dagelassen!

[@Schaaf]

Unterwegs bin ich, wenn's mal für eine Ausfahrt reicht, westlich/südwestlich von Wien ;) (Niederösterreich, Steiermark) Und richtig, gerade mit einer SV650 kann man die Großen schon richtig gut ärgern. Tolles Bike! Danke für's Abo!
