Watch: Kawasaki ZX-10R Laps the Nürburgring Stupid Fast.

While a 7 minute 50 second whirl around the 14.173 mile Nordschleife may not be the fastest lap set, especially compared to the recent Lexus LFA Nürburgring Edition lap and other sports and exotic cars, it’s damn fast for two wheels. And scary too. Just think, drivers are mildly protected in their cars, but when a rider spills, there’s not much runoff before both bike and body slam the guard rail.

So. Much. Respect.
