The 'Baron' takes the R1200s around the Nurburgring in this month's Performance Bikes magazine (848 on cover). He did it in 7.49 - just 9/10ths slower than the KTM superduke.

Overall they really liked the bike.

Haven't bought PB in years but got a prescription for xmas ,it's changed a bit over the years not necessarily for the better.... Although the photoshopped "what it would look like today" RD500 looks interesting(previous months issue)
The other times that caught my attention (apart from the 312mv) were the 675 daytona ,the Tuono and strangely the 600 hornet.

k1200s was 7.57 with marcus barth on it.. 7.49 is fookin quick.
Record is approx 7.35 by one of teh guys who works there i was told in july

The 'Baron' is a ring legend and can certainly ride a bike fast. The trip from his place to the ring is about 20 mins bike ride - he's done it in 7 mins and has the on-board video to prove it!!!

He did 7.21 on the MV a couple months ago! Superquick

jees, i only went in july and they're bashing times down for fun arent they.

A bloody quick car is considerd to be going well at 8 mins

Rode on the Ring myself back in the days on a p.o.s. Kawi Z550...
The Ring is very dangerous for a motorcycle with all the close armco but an experience not to miss nevertheless...Nice countryside,friendly people,good food and beer...
Fastest twin was not the 1098 the baron disliked but the Mille R with a 7,32.Faster than the 1098.Power is not everything...
