Kenny Roberts is arguably the greatest all-round motorcycle
racer the world has ever seen. This DVD traces a career which saw Roberts take
the American No.1 rider title two years in a row – in 1973 and 1974 – by
winning a variety of events which made up a cross section of the sport in all
its forms.
Awesome skills honed on the 100mph ovals of dirt track
racing and in Formula 750 were then brilliantly applied to the 500cc World
Championship, where Roberts stunned the sport by taking victory in his first
season, 1978. Incredibly, he secured the World Championship again in 1979 and
1980, earning millions of fans and the well-deserved title “King Kenny”.
After proving himself a champion on all kinds of track,
Roberts turned to the business side of racing, rapidly becoming one of the
world’s most successful motorcycle team owners.
Alongside awesome racing footage from throughout a
remarkable career, including unforgettable clashes with fellow legends like
Barry Sheene, Eddie Lawson and Freddie Spencer, we hear from Roberts’ protégées
Wayne Rainey and John Kocinski.
This detailed profile includes action-packed highlights of a
remarkable career which had one common theme - winning!
