Riding your sportbike at the world-famous Nurburgring, and specifically on the Nordschleife, is a bucket-list item for many. With good reason, too; it's a beautiful track with both history and character, and it looms large in the minds of motorsports fans in general. If you love anything with an engine, honestly, why wouldn't you want to go there?
In 2025, the 'Ring announced that it would be switching up how it handles motorcycle admittance going forward, and said that the much-loved tourist laps it had previously allowed would be sunsetting for good.
While it did make clear that motorbikes wouldn't be banned entirely, and that certain moto-specific training and track days would still be scheduled, that announcement did still put a significant damper on the dreams of some riders.
