Spoken like a true "yet to go to the 'Ring" person! You have to average something like 100mph to get round in 10 minutes, I challenge you to hit 100mph on anything but the longest straights!
sorry but

the ring is 20.8km long for simpicitly i'll make it 20km long around the distance you time anyway as you never cross the start finish line

if you do 20km in 10 minutes your doing 120kph around 70mph

there also are corners on the ring that are takern at 100+ on a sv, if you were a really good rider i think that most of the lap would be almost flat out, on the last straight you get very close to 130mph
a guy in a bmw on a 8:30 lap was going through some corners at over 240kph (150mph)

if you can watch the vidoe on bmw website (sorry forgotton the address its not the bmw main site) of a k1200s doing a sub 8 minute true lap
