Who needs life insurance when you have a stock ZX10R and das Ring!

You can feel the adrenalin kicking in at around 3m. His lines get a little sloppy and he starts getting really aggressive on the throttle. Seriously fast rider but a few marks down from the true ringmeisters.

I'm not a biker but that is amazing. It'd be great if there were a heads up read-out of speed.

Any idea what the lap record on a stock bike for the Nurburgring is?

p.s. was going to test ride one of these the other weekend but didn't get there in time. I'll make sure I get a ride in ASAP.

+Paul Murley http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_N%C3%BCrburgring_Nordschleife_lap_times#Motorcycles says 7m21 to 7m28 I think The Baron's R1 was stock.

On a GSXR600?? I'm guessing that wasn't stock :P

The GSXR600 was specifically built for the ring and was moderately modified. Not a race bike, but a lot lighter than stock. Quick search
