That is cool. It looked like he could have gone a bit quicker in places if he hadn't encountered other riders.

[JBurrows88]

I think that is the 3rd fastest lap ever?

Mental Riding. He was really pushing that thing to its limits of grip. What are those tires he uses, I want them.

One thing that article mentioned got me thinking, why don't the do the Nurburgring TT!! All the road racing guys over there would be awesome and we'd probably see some even faster times

Ive met that guy when i was there.

He is a friend of the old lap record holder, who helped him learn the circuit.

Both English too

They used to race there in the 'good' old days, my failing memory recall that a Suzuki 500 (bendy frame, thin tyres and all) got round in 7 mins or so. Even the nutters of those days rekonded that the 'ring was a death trap, thats why it was dropped from the calender, along with the IOM.
It would make for a far more entertaining race series though. No problems of the results being dominated by a couple of names, they would probably be killed on a regular basis.

There was probably only a couple of seconds in that for traffic, but why the hell have BMW not given this guy an S1000? Surely the free publicity must be worth it?

Yeah I was thinking that...be interesting to see what it could do if it's considered the fastest overall production bike for track (Not sure if that's the case or not though).

He adjusted the gear ratios to be suitable for the track but on one corner in particular around the 4 minute mark he was bouncing off the limiter leaving the corner for a good few seconds. Did anyone else watch it thinking hes hampered the acceleration performance of the bike, by comparison to other cockpit cams of the R1?

If he used non-road legal tyres would he not be faster still?

Incredible video.

I wonder if I'm the only person that read that url as "Bridget O'Gantry"...
