you sir are a legend! I have a cbf125 exactly like yours and i can't imagine taking it to the ring, even more with the track wet as it was, specially in the begining of the lap. can i ask you what tires do you have? are they the stock TVS or ContiGo tires? Nice video, i enjoyed watching the entire 21 minutes ;)
+Rmartins Thank you very much! I'm actually on neither. I am on a set of Heidenau K63's. Very grippy in both wet and dry and at the same time also cheap. A set of front and rear is €130 where I live, only downside being that the rear only lasts around 8000 kms. There is a CBF125 Owners group on Facebook, where I recommended these tyres and since then they have really grown popular. Check them out, and feel free to ask further if you have more questions. :-)
Palm9 I have heard good things about those tires, specially for the rain, are they available for both front and rear compounds on the measures that our bike has? I have recently changed tires but i went with a set from Kenda, in here those and ones made by Maxxis are the only ones that are available on the stores, the rest you have to order in the internet and then install, i'm yet to try them on the rain, i hope they are better than the TVS tires i had :)
+Rmartins The sizes are slightly off if I recall correctly. The front is a 90/90 instead of a 80/100 and the rear is a 100/80 instead of 100/90, so the profile is slightly lower on the tyre itself, aswell as the front being just a tad wider. However it doesn't seem to affect fuel consumption, acceleration nor top speed.
Palm9 ok, thanks :) it's just because the police here are a bit strict whit the tires measure, it they aren't the same that are on the pinkslip you get fined, but maybe it's worth the risk, i will have to check it out ;)
Kudos bud... that was a fantastic lap and a must for anyone trying to learn the Nordschleife.. if i ever meet you, the beers are on me.
slow is fast. good, careful driving !
Oohh I wish I could bring my 150cc cbr to the nurburgring!
