An outstanding posting. Always a pleasure, never a bore. Erm... However.. Just a tad frustrating to hear the R1 make a noise like mmmmmm,mmmmm,mmmmm when it should be aaarrrrr,aaaarrrr and iiiiiiiiiiiiii,iiiiiiiiii,iiiiiiiiiii...... But that'll be the biker in me.... Blackbird and SP1.... ;0)
I remember downloading these videos off of Joerund's site back in the day. I thought his riding was the most awesome thing ever (especially the videos where he goes on a full-speed attack).
Always wanted a bike after that, couldn't afford one back then but got one now.
Back then, only after I'd watched several of the videos I read on another site that he'd just been killed on the Ring on his new GSX-R1000.
one more thing... there´s no R7 in the world!!! (unless yamaha had produced on of those just yesterday) the only R bikes that yamaha produces are the R6 (600cc engine) and the R1 (1000cc engine)
yes there is a r7 was made the register it for the wsb. had lots of good components on it but not a lot of power as had to be sold in europe(100bhp i think)
Dude, there are Yamaha R7s. They produced them from 1999-2002. They were a limited release of a about 500 units per year and were designed to compete in the Superbike World Championship and the Suzuka 8 Hours endurance races. The 2002 model was 749ccs
you are thinking of the YZF750 EXUP, its an earliest model, the R7 doesn in fact exist, only a hadnfull made it on to the road and i doubt they get used for sunday scratching some how.
willing to bet on that??? its so funny you comment with such strong opinions and obviously you did not search for an R7 on google or wikipedia. Then you would have seen that an R7 does exist... but if you are content with beeing an ignorant fool.... thats ok!
all you morons got to know it is a R1, i have one of those myself, you assholes, it´s a "1" right there in the tacometer (it´s not a clock) it shows the rpm your bike is developing at the time you shift between gears, the speed is displayed on the digital meter at the left side, ......and it´s not called R "1" just cuz it might sound cool, the "1" means 1000, cause it has a 1000 cc engine (cc: cubic centimeters), got that assholes!!!?
omg... just read what it says on the clock on the bike.... next to the R it says 7.... that is definately not a 1.... of course it could be that he changed the background but that is unlikely
please tell me on wich point in the video you see R1 on the clock.... maybe it is because you bang your head against the wall that you cant see proper any more..... without a doubt... its says R7.... pause at 0:08 ... clearly R7
Iv riden my zx6r round the ring & its the muts nuts, no words can say the rush of the ring, its true cars are faster in2 the bends, bikes are faster out, as long as u dont hightside, this cossie powered car is dam fast, & the bloke on the R1 is fast & playing around, he can go faster,but if u crash then u have 2 pay 4 the damage u cause, apart from that, if u havent been to the ring then dont coment on the rider or the driver cos they are fast. Iv been got the t-shirt & the shit stained boxers.
good vid. Great riding and driving there. This car is not really fast enaugh to compete against a fast bike on the faster parts of this track thaugh but its shows well the difference in where bikes are cars perform better than each other in some cases.
to all you pussys who saying the rider has no balls, if you just crawled out your vauxhall nova and think your stirling moss lol. lot different on a bike, i ride a bike, not a R1 only a bandit 600 and I am fast. faster on the bends than a lot of sports bike riders on my commuter bike, and that was good riding.
:-p only way u comment on riding is by posting link to ur vid saying this is how i do it better.
plonk that bike in 1st and rev it! the biker could have easily beaten the westfield, an r1 will do 100mph in 1st!!!! looked to me like the rider was either not trying or didn't have the balls, though who can blame them?? not me
Do you actually bother to read the other posts before posting ignorant crap? Read the posts at the beginning and you may learn something. The rider and the occupants of the car were friends. The bike was used to film footage of the car. What else could stay with the car. it was not a race. just a 8/10ths demo. Get it?
check out ghostrider 5 on the nuringburg ring. He would have made the car look like it had stoped. On a fast track i dont think the car has enough power to compete. Just makes it up in tight corners but someone like ghostrider would put this car to shame.
a stock!!!!! theres no way that these things should be street legal...just kidding there awesome! but im not buying one..i see videos of guys getting up to 200 mph in just under 10 seconds....thats crazy....
Looked like the bike had alot more to give than the rider was willing, but i know i wouldn't have the balls. R1's are stupidly quick. Cranked right over in the corners tho, every respect to the rider.
Some guys comments here are just too funny to be true ..
have to agree with downieisking here . The bike may have more rpm's to go with , but you always have to think about max torque possible on a track . He ran not as the best , but if this a standard r1 he did really good! About the lines of the car ..i just saw him make 1 mistake not more , you guys post a movie where u do better then ! Have these people even been on a track with some power beneath ..i don't think so!
that biker knows what he's doing alright, staying alive. insane corner speed compared to my own mortal skill, respect. car is a real go cart in the corners but won't do much more then 200kph. bike could have taken him at kesselchen and some faster bits but stayed behind (because it had the cam?)
great ride both of them.
@ stenovich: your the type of guy that causes streckensperren by smearing yourself all over the place. NEVER THINK YOUR ALL THAT ON THE RING, IT'LL KILL YOU!!!
respect to biker..anyone on a bike round the nord has death wish. Stick to cars..enough of them come unstuck but at least theres more between yourself and the tarmac.
Had the biker used the throttle a little bit more there had been a good chance it would have been the last thing he did! Respect to this biker!! Clearly you have never driven there before: driving like this while there is touristfahrten is for the insane.
If someone can't see, that the biker is holding back almost all the time during the entire lap, he must be really blind. Anyone who are familar with the speed of the Yamaha R1 knows that this was just a surf ride, the rider being a gentleman(-woman?) not passing the special Westfield car. If the bike rider had done so, he would easily have leaved the car behind by more than a minute for the lap.
Yep. That rider was intentionally staying behind the car. He could easily have run off and left that little car if he'd wanted to. He must have just wanted to film the car in front of him.
Look at the rev counter/tachometer on the bike. Those bike engines max out just before redline, so most of the time the bike-rider is actually just "cruising"...
The bike was a gear higher than he could have been all the way round. If he was in a lower gear the revs would have been sat in the fat part of the torque curve to fire him out of the corner. Therefore the rider wasnt trying anywhere near 100%.
ghostrider vs. Röhrl that'll be more interesting... the bikedriver was kinda nervous or so.. well I dont want to say that I am better but that was weak!
i was going to comment on the video,but spent the last ten minutes laughing my head of at the post!For dropping my own two penneth in,neither was flat out,but they also were not going slow,and i'd much rather do it in a car than on a bike,as from the time i spent there,the amounts of bikes stuck in the armco led me to believe it hurt a lot more!so unless you know it very well,i'd recommend driving how they did,very easy to catch a damp bit under the trees on a bend,when its dry elsewhere.respect
unless you have actually taken a bike round there you have no idea how hard it is after a while every corner looks the same . Does this corner tighten or open out ? whats the camber on this corner need i go on its just the video title its not a Verses video more like some mates just having a bit of a blat and some fun. nicley done fellas most enjoyable
You call that a shoot out! what a joke!!! That bike could have passed that car at will. Why don't you car drivers let your balls drop and get on a bike...:-)
You have no idea what you're talking 'bout mate. SO what if another 90 kilos was put on the bike, it would still shit all over the car on acceleration, cornering and would not be far off with the braking either. Maybe you should try getting on a bike sometime with somebody who can ride half decently.
Why do you assume that anyone posting here has no experience? I live 15 miles from the nordschleife, as far as riding with a proffesional I am good friends with the baron from Pb magazine. You should understand that there is always someone more knowledgable, faster or better than you. So put your ego back in your pocket and stick to what you know.
oh and cars are just so crap inm comparison to bikes, even if the car was faster. who wants to be goin around in a tin box anyway. bikes are just....better, more fun, scence of freedom is fantasic.etc.etc. bikes rule
thasts easilt a bike win then. everyone knows cars are better in the bends and bikes have the acceleration. but in this the bike was keeping up in the corners well enough to absolutly burn the car in the straights, big and small. he just didnt.
Er has anyone thought that the reason the biker wasnt reving out is that he was sticking behind the car so as to video it?.
If he passed the car he wouldnt be able to video the Westfield.
Not exactly rocket science.
And for all those who have commented on how slow he appears to be driving on the Ring, put your money where your mouth is and drive it before you make some silly remarks. The place is very dangerous but this is also why it thrills like no other section of tarmac in the world!
yeh.. this aint a race.. ive seen a 600 do it in like.. half the time.. plus u can tell the guy on the bike isnt realy pushing himself.. well said mayne
its just says Bike following Car at Nurburgring - no Vs or anything, i don't get what half the comments here are for, they are just having a bit of a play on the track
I'm with you, there were a few time when the bike could have pasted the Westfield. AT 1 point he was @195 jst sitting behind. Also he aload westfield race line all the time, and it looked like he didn't wish to cut him up. P>S It didn't seem slow at all....
just saw the whole thing,what a feke vid!!!Call that follow the leader!!What the hell is the bike guy easing off for when he has place to pass????Balls!!~!
What a Muppet you are!! If you knew anything about motor-sport you'd know that for the past 40 years cosworth had some input into the majority of successful motor-sport engines!! Show me another 1993cc engine that can produce 700+bhp!!!
And however "revolutionary" you think the cosworth engine is... it would never beat an R1 around the track, and that is the point we're getting at. Clearly you're the one who's not so clued up on motor sport. LOLOL
Its not likely that you can, but if you can afford a car that is faster than a bike, go buy it. The guy on the bike will still have more fun than you.
The rider is good, can't fault him. But he was definitely not pushing hard. I wish I could watch him on a GSX-R 750 with basic mods (air filter + exhaust + PC III) against that same car (without the passenger). Different story I'd say!
Too right, I got round quicker than this in my M5, that Westy is crusing. A bike shouldn't stand a chance against a car on the limit, the track is just too winding. Having said that, I got passed by a lot of bikes, hehe. Need to get back there on my 916!
Great vid
That dude sure knows how to ride a bike, the driver was pretty quick too.

The biker is amazing! to drive under this condition (corrugations, peaks) with a bike is just crazy!

Look at the rev counter/tachometer on the bike. Those bike engines max out just before redline, so most of the time the bike-rider is actually just "cruising"...

this is a real cool track , I always ride on this track with TouristTrophy the real riding simulator(playstation2 game)
but its so difficult, and I think its realy scary to drive on that track in real life!

I don't think this was a race at all. The bike rider felt like he was more filming the race for the car infront of him.
THere were lots of corners where it seems like the bike could of passed the car easily. But who am I to judge? I've never even been to europe :)

The bike was a gear higher than he could have been all the way round. If he was in a lower gear the revs would have been sat in the fat part of the torque curve to fire him out of the corner. Therefore the rider wasnt trying anywhere near 100%.

ghostrider vs. Röhrl that'll be more interesting... the bikedriver was kinda nervous or so.. well I dont want to say that I am better but that was weak!

i was going to comment on the video,but spent the last ten minutes laughing my head of at the post!For dropping my own two penneth in,neither was flat out,but they also were not going slow,and i'd much rather do it in a car than on a bike,as from the time i spent there,the amounts of bikes stuck in the armco led me to believe it hurt a lot more!so unless you know it very well,i'd recommend driving how they did,very easy to catch a damp bit under the trees on a bend,when its dry elsewhere.respect

Nice video - that biker is the nuts.
There are time the bike could of smoked the car, but cars always win on braking.
Wonder what the lap times on open tracks would be...

You call that a shoot out! what a joke!!! That bike could have passed that car at will. Why don't you car drivers let your balls drop and get on a bike...:-)

There are 2 people in the westy, that means an extra 90 kilos [aprox] put another man on the bike and try again. The car is fatser.
Garethchina 4 years ago
You have no idea what you're talking 'bout mate. SO what if another 90 kilos was put on the bike, it would still shit all over the car on acceleration, cornering and would not be far off with the braking either. Maybe you should try getting on a bike sometime with somebody who can ride half decently.

Why do you assume that anyone posting here has no experience? I live 15 miles from the nordschleife, as far as riding with a proffesional I am good friends with the baron from Pb magazine. You should understand that there is always someone more knowledgable, faster or better than you. So put your ego back in your pocket and stick to what you know.

oh and cars are just so crap inm comparison to bikes, even if the car was faster. who wants to be goin around in a tin box anyway. bikes are just....better, more fun, scence of freedom is fantasic.etc.etc. bikes rule
Blenkey117 4 years ago
thasts easilt a bike win then. everyone knows cars are better in the bends and bikes have the acceleration. but in this the bike was keeping up in the corners well enough to absolutly burn the car in the straights, big and small. he just didnt.

the bike should do a sub 7min30 at the ring.
So many opportunities for the bike to leave the car standing i so bet he was dying to open the throttle.Good camera work tho.
jaffR6 4 years ago
Er has anyone thought that the reason the biker wasnt reving out is that he was sticking behind the car so as to video it?.
If he passed the car he wouldnt be able to video the Westfield.
Not exactly rocket science.
And for all those who have commented on how slow he appears to be driving on the Ring, put your money where your mouth is and drive it before you make some silly remarks. The place is very dangerous but this is also why it thrills like no other section of tarmac in the world!

I'm with you, there were a few time when the bike could have pasted the Westfield. AT 1 point he was @195 jst sitting behind. Also he aload westfield race line all the time, and it looked like he didn't wish to cut him up. P>S It didn't seem slow at all....

If you read up a bit you'll find this WASNT A RACE. Maybe in your dreams a cosworth engine is fast, but really its not.
jivemscrive 4 years ago
What a Muppet you are!! If you knew anything about motor-sport you'd know that for the past 40 years cosworth had some input into the majority of successful motor-sport engines!! Show me another 1993cc engine that can produce 700+bhp!!!
CozzieBhoy 4 years ago
An F1 engine from the turbo era ? 1.5L V6 / 1300bhp+ (depending on the turbo pressure)
rillieuxlapape 4 years ago
A 1.5L V6 producing 1300 bhp? Bullshit!! You should lay off the hash man and talk about something you know about
ozbkr 4 years ago
!300 bhp per tonne...yes, he is correct, dick!
And however "revolutionary" you think the cosworth engine is... it would never beat an R1 around the track, and that is the point we're getting at. Clearly you're the one who's not so clued up on motor sport. LOLOL

Its not likely that you can, but if you can afford a car that is faster than a bike, go buy it. The guy on the bike will still have more fun than you.

The rider is good, can't fault him. But he was definitely not pushing hard. I wish I could watch him on a GSX-R 750 with basic mods (air filter + exhaust + PC III) against that same car (without the passenger). Different story I'd say!

Too right, I got round quicker than this in my M5, that Westy is crusing. A bike shouldn't stand a chance against a car on the limit, the track is just too winding. Having said that, I got passed by a lot of bikes, hehe. Need to get back there on my 916!

it look alot more fun that driving a car.
in a car you just sit thier and you arms and legs do the work.while on a bike you use your body almost as if it was an exstention of your body.
