Bike is a modified Yamaha R1 (early model!)
Rider is Andy Carlile
Track is Nurburgring Nordschleife BTG layout (running in public sessions). This converts to about 7m28s full lap time. It has been IMPOSSIBLE to run the track on two wheels, for a laptime, for about twenty years. Managment won't allow it.
This BTG lap time would convert to about 7m28s full, or 7m23-24s for 'industry' or sportauto comparisons. Bike is 100% road-legal and was ridden for HUNDREDS of nights at the 'ring
![@Rideezy IS INSANE! You have to see this BIKER flying through the NÜRBURGRING NORDSCHLEIFE BTG [4K]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/tL8QXAUQfVw/mqdefault.jpg)
For everybody coming to the comments, 11 years later, to point out that it's "NOt tHE FuLL TrACK", can I just point out that the last two-wheeled race on the full Nordschleife was in the mid 1990s, and we have not been allowed to do laptimes on any of the motorcycle training days for the last 20 years. And motorcycle trackdays, and even private hires for laptiming, are not allowed by the management AT ALL.
OMFG wowww u can ride😮😮😮 absolutely amazing skills my friend 👍 . I'm actually gobsmacked, u are a weapon on that bike
Damn shame. A proper rider on a modern superbike could easily do a sub 7:00
@@stuffedcrust4522you sure about that son
Just in another nation: imagination. Actually fastest lap (made by pro rider) is with lastest R1 at 7:20. The truth is performance are at their edge since 20 years. Now it's matter of tyres and tarmac.
Why won't they let bikes go for it? They're afraid of letting people kill themselves?
When I clicked on this video I was expecting him to have the track to himself... but with traffic? This man is insane
no, he's just one hell of a rider
Just a normal Monday commute 😂
Traction control, abs and wheelie control makes you slower on this track - due to all the bumps and the constant uphill and downhill changes. I started driving there again , after a gap of 18 years in 2016 with a RN12 the same machine Andy used.
Time was around 9 minutes and i wanted to reach 8:30 in the end of the year.
During this time Andy was in my workshop often and gave me a lot of tips, including the bike setup. That is the most important part, cause actually this track is like a motocross track with tarmac. I managed to do a 7:50 in 2016. Stock engine, öhlins shock, öhlins cartridge in the stock fork. Dunlop D211 and BST carbon wheels.
In 2017 i bought a new R1 RN32 and was unable to beat the time of the old bike for about 2 month. After removing every electronic aid except the e gas i hit the same time. The bike had 204 hp on the MGM dyno. Further improvements with the new bike came after very radical changes,
like wheelbase and geometry. Since Andys record nobody has beaten his time. There were a lot of very experienced riders with the newest bikes availible, and the track has become about 10 seconds quicker, due to the changes they made for the GT3 racecars. This lap was something outstanding - hope you are good Andy...
Yeah im sure of all that. Andy never had proper laptiming gear on its bike, all you have is video of wrist on green hell. Stop this fucking stupid bullshit of yours :D If you did beat nordschleife, why did not your bike run on iomtt. It would had beaten every other bike by 20 seconds?
What changes were made to the track?
Why would they make changes to the track and make it 10 seconds quicker... thats cheating... by the track
Bloodspartan, I don’t know for sure but typically when that kind of thing happens it’s for safety and/or pits, maintenance, etc. A particular few spots on track which are especially dangerous for GT3-type cars perhaps, or straightening out a short section for an access point or something like that. Usually it’s things like that.
@@isthisagoodname6279 I think flugplatz was shallowed out after a Nissan GTR got airborne and killed a couple of spectators on the VLN. I was driving there one evening around the time of this video and if it is the same rider which I think it is, knew Martin in the Burgstube, came past me before flugplatz and rear wheel was airborne shimmying setting up for the double apex and completely out of sight by the time I was looking down towards Schwedenkreuz. I'll never forget it.
There's not too many things, in life, that I can say were worth my seven minutes of attention.........But that certainly was one of those moments.
+Marty Smith im responcible for at least 30 views here ))
Cheers guys, appreciated. A.
+RSRNurburg are you the rider 'a' ?
+wasn't me. Yeah. Should be putting the odd video up soon ish ( dont hold your breathe I dont do computers) Not got anything faster than 7.10, but maybe worth a watch. RSR is the works computer, but this time its me, Andy.
+RSRNurburg yeah man put it up , i studied your laps , not that it helps as your a different league . we met and spoke at the ring a few times , i got a Ducati panigale and we discussed tires and chestprotectors . i didnt ask but want to know , you still into beating yr own time in the future ?
What amazes me is that the bike does 7:10 and does not exceed the top speed of 260 kp/h. The corner speeds were terrifying, the track was slippery at some pints, that was a seriously amazing performance.. Instant favorite.
Artas1984 ikr. how can he do 120mph in corners!??! i find it hard to belive
eternyman I'm guessing you don't track ride super bikes? The rider is well renowned at the Nürburgring as well. www.motorbiketimes.com/feature/people/human-interest/feature-dunlop-teams-up-with-andy-carlile-to-attempt-sub-7-min-nurburgring-$21381883.htm
eternyman Clearly never ridden a large CC bike.
no i havent. 600cc was max i have ridden
To be honest it's not what you've got its how you ride it. The power of a big sports bike is mind blowing especially riding it somewhere where it's legal to give it the beans. Safe riding eternyman.
It's great to watch this on a phone screen and tilt the screen left when he banks left and the same with right, keeping your eyes parallel with the horizon, to get a sense of the lean angle he was doing - superb ride, fighting wheelies and wiggles all the way
Even better on an iPad 😂
Coming from a non-biker (i'm dangerous enough on 4 wheels), this is just amazing to watch. 7 minutes of jaw dropping, sphincter clenching action.
Always had an interest in fast bikes but never considered owning one, ever since internet porn got so available I guess I didn't develope big enough cahonas.
It's clear to see he's put a hell of alot of time in on that track and that he was riding to the limits of both the bike and track. Much respect to Andy. Great vid.
For those of you that don't know, BTG means Bridge to Gantry, which skips out the long straight.
RTSRAZORBACK so basically its not a full lap...oh well..
Motorcycles are not allowed to do full laps under normal circumstances. Only when a major company such as Kawasaki does a promo lap, like the one with the ZX10 ridden by Tim Rothig, can a full motorcycle lap be timed. (see the TH-cam video) Presumably Kawasaki Germany hired the circuit as the circuit was clear for the Kawasaki lap.That lap was very rare and may not be repeated any time soon. Motorcycles are restricted to the Bridge To Gantry laps which is about 1.6 km shorter. Tourist laps have mixed traffic which can included cars, vans and buses and vehicles can only do single laps so they need to go through the check point and pay the toll. Consequently any riders trying to do a fast time are usually held up by slower traffic. It's a toll road and there are a few places with speed restrictions. The quickest full lap for a production bike was 7 min 49.71 secs in 1993 by Helmut Dahne on a stock Honda production RC30 VFR 750R. The Tim Rothig Kawasaki lap was claimed to be 7 min 50 sec for a full circuit lap. If this rider, on a stock, slightly modded Yamaha R1, had been able to do the full lap, then it would have been about 7 min 35 secs as Ring experts say that it is about 25 secs extra for the full circuit over BTG. Motorcycles used to race on the Ring but stopped in 1994 due the dangerous nature of the circuit. Motorcycle only track days were held in 2007/2008? but have not been held since I think.
Is it normal to watch this video and lean my head with the view?
Just like when I play nfs and try look around a corner
haha i try and peek around corners when i play shooter games idk why haha
Only if you lean opposite to the bike. If not you should take an IQ test.
i did too. insane ridin'
It means you're a natural.
7:12 to 7:40, that section is so fckn twitchy, I have problems with my car to get proper grip their, and this guy just hammers through it on two wheels. I have never ever seen a better biker on the ring. God damn impressive, I salute you buddy.
That caught my eye first time watching it too. You can tell he is an excellent rider as he still commits and tips it in with head shake
5:55 this is the part of the track i dont like
why is it twitchy? like bumpy or just technically difficult?
Good riders respect the shake, great riders love the shake. Riding through it is sexier than any wheelie.
You can see even the bike saying nope in 7:19, but he just doesn´t give a shit
That was Andy Carlisle. He is a lovely bloke, genuine and humble, and I was lucky enough to be staying at the same place he was, so I enjoyed beers, chatted bikes and even helped repair/modify my brother's RSV Mille. Better still, he then took my brother's RSV Mille around the track with me following on my 1050 Sprint. It was nothing like this, but I could still do sub-9 minutes using him sighting the corners.
I 100% relate to you saying about sighting corners. Way back when I was 60 I took my 25 year old Porsche 944S2 there (for it's birthday celebration) and really struggled with confidence into so many of the corners. Then I caught and chased a GT3RS, Bingo, I could watch his roof and have confidence to drive it hard into those corners over brows.... A great experience
I think I sat through this without blinking once. Unbelievable riding skills!
I’m 52 years old and riding sportbike since 18 and still alive so.....very experience, my man you are one hell of agressive rider there’s a old saying in French (tu tenais le couteau dans les dents )( you were holding the knife between your teethe) hope my English is not that bad.
By the way I would guess that you used to ride a 600 or 750 for a long time, just the way you keep the beast so high in the revs, usually a 1000cc rider don’t keep it that high,event racing. Anyway most people’s get scared just going on the highway....in a car 😂😂. Just to say your biker most people’s think your crazy, to get on a race track ..... your good for the big White House, but you ......you beat the hell out of the nürburing...... thanks for the ride, your the king
And long lives the king 👑 👌👌👌👌
Used to race 50cc endurance, maybe that's where the high res everywhere comes from :-). It doesn't feel aggressive, there feels like there is grip remaining. And to some extent this is true. Once some suspension improvements were made this pace was repeatable, but getting a clear run is nearly impossible. Anything faster without using sector times never happened.
Scorpion Mike strikes again....
Would have been very surprised if na deed person was posting comments on TH-cam.(:
Nah,, It's how they ride R!'s. peaky engine. You think this sounds insane try watching the IOM TT on the supebikes. they scream as well!
1. This guy is crazy.
2. He basically lived and breathed in the Nurburgring since 2007.
3. Combine those two and set a record on the Nurburgring.
4. Could have died trying if he was clueless.
Ultamit rush..
Because doing a task that isn't like climbing a mountain allows you to be stupid and mistakeful
Love these bike videos that make me lean back and forth in my chair while I watch.
The power, the skill, the grip, the bravery! I've watched this video many times and it never gets old.
I get the best neck work outs watching these video's....
I was leaning both left and right while watching the turns from my chair in front of my computer. A good work out.
Hahaha! Yes. My coworkers probably think I'm a goof ball! Love it
I consider myself a decent rider, but this is next level. You sir have a massive pair of balls....
Great video. I definately have to say he knows his track well. To be that close to the curb on those left right left right back and forth turns.
That was what was most impressive to me. Almost touching those high unforgiving curbs while redlining through the gearbox was incredible.
Well done. GOD BLESS and be careful.
I can't believe this is the first time I've seen this video. Utterly amazing and bonkers fast. So very, very impressive on every level. I'm smiling and shaking my head simultaneously at the skill of the rider. Just wow. Can't wait to share this with my motorcycle friends.
Greatride for sure. Would like to see him go again on a well set-up 2015 R1, ZX10 R, RSV4, HP4, Panigale, etc. Give him a clear track and I think sub 7 min very likely.
TheCaptainmojo1973 Or keep it German with the 2015 BMW S1000RR :D I'd like to see that :D
Jester TheZombie The HP4 is an S1000RR....
Ah yes, that is true, sorry I got confused with the H2R. I know...The ultimate sin....Bite me :D
mattaria kind of is, but its difrent, hp4 is more expensive :P
PAN CAKES and much lighter because of all the carbonfiber
btw the paintjob of the HP4 reminds me of BMW M/// and looks so awesome
Best lap I think I've ever seen of the ring, it's one thing doing a fast time in a car, where, if you get it wrong, you might be in trouble, but one mistake here at that speed on a bike and the chances are it's game over... Riders like this guy really seperate the men from the boys!
The best bike lap i have ever seen was Helmut Dahne on his RC30,one of the most precise pieces of motorcycling it's possible to see on a racetrack . Andy's is the fastest and ballsiest anyone will ever see for a long time, possibly ever given where we are headed with ICE powered vehicles, incredible skill and commitment .
I'm happy to see so little hater comments .. I'm honestly dont like bikes at all, but this is just pure skill.. Bravo!
That is a 7:10 with traffic! Amazing riding
Sweet jesus Andy - despite my personal traumas near the 'ring - I will never forget laps I did behind you - I am in awe of that lap - all those months/years of studying the track & prep was worth it - Absolutely stunning - very few professional riders could ride that hard on a short track - You deserve respect for what you have achieved - and you have certainly got mine.The ring has a new master !!!!!!!
Absolutely horrifying every time I watch. The way the camera captures the raw brutality, mixed with the lap record, mixed with traffic. This is the best Ring video, even after all these years. My life flashes before me. "We who are about to die salute you."
For those who were wondering why he did take the full straight at the end to do one full lap: It is because this was a tourist day and on those days you have to leave the track after each round because you pay per round. The straight is blocked in the middle so you have to get off the track and insert your prepaid ticket once more into a machine to get onto the track again.
thanks dude...
Brilliant ride, beautiful lines, massive aggression brilliantly managed.
Nice lap. This guy is pretty good on the brakes in some of the tighter corners.
pretty good? It's the fastest Nurburgring lap ever set on a motorcycle.... lol
Oh is it? What about the 7 min 49.71 set for the full circuit of 20.81 km by Helmut Dahne in 1993 on a Honda RC 30.
I had Andy as my instructor when I did my first laps at the 'Ring last week. Super nice guy, looking forward to going back next year
I'm going on my bike in a couple of weeks. I'll do it in 7.mins and 9 seconds but my camera will fail so i can't prove it
g4rr377 Fair enough
I burned the track with my 5:50 time, too bad the camera couldn't survive under the pressure of my titanium balls.
I did a lap on foot in 4:06 but i left the camera in my pocket by accident
I was lucky enough to get coached by Andy (the rider) in driving the ring in 2016. Was a wet morning but still had the time of my life. He knows the ring like the back of his hand for sure. Every bump...
Could have gone even faster without traffic on the track! :)
That's what I was thinking.. insane...
Aye at least another 10 secs off
Why don't the sponsors rent the track for this guy? I'm sure every single component would sell as this is proven to work material.
@@antdx316 Old comment but you are not allowed to run official motorcycle runs anymore.
@@Liphzzy who died or got injured that made this happen?
This guy was WORKING the track, that was amazing
Got my knee down in my office chair! Wow.
What an astonishing lap, without electronic aids nor ASC in that bike, you have definitely mastered that bike.
This is amazing, I'd love to see you on a 2015 R1 on this track!
Amazing skills - a rider at the top of his game, and with no regard for his own safety, in pursuit of pure performance. Well done!
Wow, that's some balls of steel right there! Awesome!
Solid piece of riding, good use of track, slick overtaking...no drama anywhere. Thanks for the share.
Realy pure awesome riding. With the Yamaha R1 it's astonishing.
And I believe his r1 is from 2004
haterboy I see there is no riding aids.
Yes it is a rebuilt wrecked R1. Purchased as a crashed bike then completely rebuilt to near stock specs. I think dampers and springs and exhaust are after market. I don't know if there is different chip tuning or any other mods but I am led to believe it is basically a mildly modded stock bike. Tires are road/track sports compound. Rider is Andy Carlisle and he has done 100's of laps. That's why he is so quick. It is worth noting that this lap is Bridge to Gantry and on a public day with enough traffic to add about 20 secs to his time.
This is sweet, I wish to run Nurburgring someday. It doesn't matter on which vehicle. I also wish there were manier tracks here in India. I think there ia huge scope and return on investment.
Such incredible skill and balls! With such a tiny contact patch with the road compared with a car and the physical effort to climb all over the bike. Awesome!!
7:10 and slowed down by traffic too! Amazing time:-)
Wow!! Really impressive. Thanks for recording it cuz I would have never see the ring like this.
I wonder if his legs get raw from his granite balls swinging back and forth when he walks.
Carbon fibre balls for weight reduction bro
Not true - I hward clanking when he walked the pits...
No but they did have to resurface the track from the brass that was dragging
@@zevak1 A tired, worn out cliche' that has no basis in reality. His quick riding come not from masculinity and blind bravado, where he throws caution to the wind. It comes from years of practice and many, many fast laps of Nurburgring. It comes from skill, judgement and confidence. If he rode on testosterone alone and "massive balls" he would have been dead years ago. I think these "massive balls" comments come from their own lack of skill and confidence to ride this quickly. Sure, there is an increased element of risk but riding on adrenaline and being shit scared is a recipe for death.
droceretik I’ve been on 2 wheels since I was2 years old, you think that after 35 years of riding I don’t know what it takes to go fast?
Andy you have my undying admiration for this feat. I can only imagine how fast you would have been on a dry track with no traffic. :)
Three words. BALLS. OF. STEEL.
Sean Allen Two words:Titanium balls
@@AmongUs-mb4qx Why titanium?
V-e-r-y impressive. Thanks for taking us along for the ride.
This laptime is in top 5 Nürburgring Lap Times
"Part-time hotel worker Andy Carlile recently set the fastest ever recorded bike lap of the fearsome German circuit on his standard-engined Yamaha R1 - by accident."
Astonishing bravery, skills and track knowledge. Hard to comprehend he is on road tyres.
How must those other bikers have felt thinking they've got it nailed and this guy comes flying past!?
Given the right bike and no traffic, I can see this guy doing sub 7m.
Fell off my stool watching this and trying very hard to eat dinner, wow, the guys got what it takes, 👍
I'm lost for words. This lap was out of this world.
I'm seeing a high 6 without traffic
Awesome. Love the action @ 5:11 getting the front wheel off the deck @ 230km/h. Thanks for sharing, and I hope your skill gets you more sponsors !
Clearly lost some time while stuck behind slower traffic in turns. Thats too bad :/
I so love this video. I watch it a couple of times every year.
Amazing. I see a lot of comments and shares not understanding that it is not a full lap, comparing to full lap times of other runs. I don't think BTG (Bridge To Gantry lap) is commonly understood. Still amazing.
hmm but the offiziel record holder still 7:49:71 on Stock street legal Honda VFR 750 R RC30 from Helmut Dähne in 22. Mai 1993, i am confused did i miss something
I've done appx 40 laps on bikes, ZX-7R, Street Triple and R1, and my best BTG was 8.19.3 chased by a very fast 911 Track Day car.
This guy (Dale) has the guts and the talent in a class of his own. And then even with cars on the track!! Those of you been there will know... ;-)
What year is the r1? Sounds like a 2007-2008 maybe. I own a 2004 and I think they sound a little deeper then 07-08
how can you sit on that bike with those massive balls.. :) great vid
Frantic pace. Brilliant video. Great performance ❤
Pizza-Hut delivery driver training video?
I just watched an OAP (72 yr old) go round in 7:30 on his son's Panagali. Well worth watching.
Yeah, old school, theres a few of us left.
I'm guessing 229 people got overtaken by him at the ring?
That was EPIC!!! My full respect to you sir. Impressive beyond belief.
This guy is on a fucking mission!
Being someone that has spent much of my life sideways on bikes and can say good job!
be great to see the likes of guy martin or michael dunlop go round this!
Guy, Tyco and North Productions were up for it, the circuit said no apparently.
The circuit probably thinks Guy Martin is totally bonkers. Spot on.
GeraldRisch yep he's a motorcycle racer! He'd post a decent time for that circuit tho...
brendan foster (rip dude) at sliders motel taught guy martin the ring as it goes. bren held unofficial record for years. great in a car also. i can vouch for that! lol
They dont want bikes coming along and shitting all over their lap records, but really this track is very slippery. Guys on four wheels have been known to refuse racing here.
Impressive, there's a fella who hit the IOM circuit with the camera on a stick mounted on the back end, the visual experience is brilliant, well worth a look.
That is nothing .... I did the Green Hell in 16 minutes in my Nissan Navara! It scared the crap out of me because of how fast it was ... how fast every car on the track overtook me!
best 7 mins on a video a have ever seen hats off to u bro what a drive m8
they should have a bike race here, set it up so its a time trail like the iom tt and then see how fast bikes can really go, with a top tt bike and top rider I reckon they could lap in the 6.30 area
+northern 40 seconds faster? Maybe, I won't say it's impossible, but it would be hard because this guy is a hell of a rider and I guess is motorcycle is street legal.
You seemed to be in danger from the very first turn to the last one. But did dealed with it 7 minutes long. I wouldn't be capable of this. Well done
Damn son
He was in a hurry to get home....beer was getting warm.
Sports bikes are sadly wasted on many want to be racers but this man is a skilled rider great video
I would have crashed on the first corner.
@jujitsuman68 I would have crashed on every bend.
I would have crashed before even starting
I crashed just by watching this.
i would've crashed before the Nordschleife was made
So that's how you gonna play, huh? Fine. I would crash before Germany wasn't even Germany. Beat that.
It has been long long time since I have seen a rider run the curb...amazing ride!!!
why some peoples come to nurburgring, with ther Renault Kangoo?
Well, we all can't afford supercars bro ;) I think you can get a lot fun out of it, just like in Top Gears reasonably priced car challenge =D. I'm heading to Germany next week and I am so tempted to ride this track on my z-750, even tho I know I am just blocking the road big time since I don't have kneepads with me and I do not know the track well.
NoUrSe Dey BoA There were people going there with campers :D
NoUrSe Dey BoA Why not?
NoUrSe Dey BoA Because it's fun! Taking a slow car right to its absolute limit is much more exciting than taking a supercar and using maybe 50% of its capabilities. Because let's be honest, a vast majority of drivers cannot just hop into a RUF Yellowbird and be a driving Lord with it. Most drivers will be able to thrash a 1.2 Polo.
its the experience...carousel for one!
Thanks for the compliment, come and say hi if you see me on your next visit.
People who don't know what BTG means, shouldn't even be watching Nurbrugring videos.
I just read the article in the Fastbike. Respect! You´re a perfectionist and that´s the result. Keep on...you will beat the 7 min! :)
Near life experience.
This rider is very edgy and not leaving much room. Also has wobble in his stearing, but what he was doing was pushing the racing lines to the full width of the track and utilizing as much speed as possible. Amazing balance and racing lines. Different type of rider. he almost lost it once there. Wow, what a run!
That was an incredible lap. So many variables. Yet still amazing.
As Guy Martin once said - about Macau - but is equally applicable here: "There's only parts of thee track you've got to worry about. The fence on the left; & the fence on the right"!
Very good camera work under the circumstances. Nice to have nothing coming the other way...
Comparing this with more recent records, such as the Aventador SVJ, is that this was done with traffic. Deeply impressive!
The control.....incredible...simply incredible..
The Zonda R's time of 6' 47.5" is over the Nordschleife's full lap of 20.8km/12.9miles. This bike's time of 7' 10.0" is only from Bridge to Gantry, 19.1km/11.9miles... a shorter distance by 1 mile!
its amazing to think that he was slowed down atleast 5 times in this lap one of which was atleast +2 sec on his time
Hats off, fab bike handling. You sir have talent. Also a fair set of balls.
just one thing to say WOW. Looked up lap times on wikipedia and you need a full on race car to beat this time! respect Andy.
Top pilot! Clean and safe. With a 2018 R1, on a clear lap, 6'5x'' BTG.
My man was the fastest thing out there, nice ride brother!
Still as impressive, well done Andy!!
big respect ! wie er mit der Karre über die Strecke hackt ist Wahnsinn !
Sub 7 on a wobbly old R1 on Dunlops. This man is committed.
Andy, that was awesome!!! RESPECT!! You and your bike could 've been faster if there wasn't anybody else on the track with you! Thank you for sharing this with us!! I visit the Nordschleife very often and this is a fantastic way to learn the track, just watching your video over and over again!! I love it! Keep it up :-) Regards from the Netherlands
Andy,WOW! Damp track and you put in that time?!
Upmost respect dude!!!
Ride fast and safe!!!
And on an old model R1! FFS! Excellent!!!!
