Talk about Nurburgring usually means thinking about supercars, high-performance motorcycles and fast laps on the legendary Nordschleife. However, once a year the German circuit also becomes the scene of something much more peculiar, chaotic and, for many fans, even more fun: 2-stroke scooters pushed to the maximum between curves, blue smoke and an absolutely unrepeatable atmosphere in the “green hell”.
In the latest edition of Anlassen The enormous dimension of this meeting was once again demonstrated. According to his own figures Nurburgringaround 42,000 people attended the event, filling the venue with motorcycles of all kinds, exhibitions, rallies and sessions on the track that turned the weekend into a real party.

The scooter appears to bounce, slide and catapult between curves while maintaining speeds that, from the outside, are hard to believe for such a small vehicle.
For those who grew up surrounded by the smell of mixture and the metallic sound of small 2T engines, Anlassen It is practically a paradise. But even for those who have never had a relationship with that world, it is difficult not to be infected by the atmosphere. Because yes, the Nürburgring will always be the territory of extreme machines.
But during Anlassen, he also shows that fun on 2 wheels does not necessarily depend on having 200 hp. Sometimes all you need is an absurdly light scooter, a 2-stroke engine pushed to the limit and a desire to have a good time.
