Nice, I'm sure someone could get even a ama supersport (600) to under 7min.
Ama Superbike probally 6.45-6.50ish.

I wouldn't doubt that at all. would be even better if all of the traffic wasn't on track too

Is this really a Ring record or just a record for a motorcycle? My understanding has always been while bikes are fast and agile, sports, exotic, and race cars are usually faster.

thats a good question and I honestly do not know. I think its a just a new record for motorcycles around the ring. I share the same understand as you do. A car has much more surface area to contact the road surface. I would think a proper race car would easily defeat that time

It's just a bike record, I'm sure there is a car that has done it in well under 7mins...

Add about 15 seconds to that time because he skipped the long straight in his time.

Fastest Ring time ever recorded is 6:11 held by Stefan Bellof in a Porsche 956 during a qualifying trial in 1983.
