Check Out This Radical Kawasaki ZX-10R Nurburgring Lap

We have yet more proof that motorcycle racers have you know whats of steel. Watching this video might cause both terrified enjoyment and the urge to curl your toes at the sight of some of these close calls.

While the recent laps of some of the most powerful cars on the planet are enough to impress you, it takes something magical for a slow day like Wednesday.

The Germans at Motorrad have taken the Kawasaki ZX-10R and test driver Tim Rothig from Bridgestone and set them loose upon the grueling Nurburgring track that has claimed the lives of many riders over the years.

While the time of 7:50 might not seem that impressive when compared to all those monsters, like the Radical SR8 LM, Rothig must have had only one wheel on the ground at least for a couple of seconds. If you want to see a close call, the slip at 4:40 is a good place to look.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s.
