Kawasaki Ninja Record Nürburgring 7'50 - Best race motorcycle ever
Tip: Highlight text to annotate itX
It's a little rarer to get to see a motorcycle take on the torturous course. Bridgestone test rider Tim Ršthig recently mounted a Kawasaki ZX-10R, strapped on a Gyrocam and proceeded to wring the life out of a pair of Battlax tires. Watching Ršthig coerce the big liter bike through one of the most challenging road courses on the planet is a hair-raising experience, even from the comfort of our keyboards. While his 7:50-second time falls well short of the current 7:14 record for production cars, the knowledge that even the smallest of mistakes could have introduced both bike and rider to the unforgiving guard rail in a hurry certainly earns Ršthig a spot in the pantheon of impressive NŸrburgring videos. Hit the jump to check it out.
