Schwantz World Champion

Few riders have ever worked so hard, enjoyed so much popularity or provided so much entertainment as Kevin Schwantz. 

The hard talking, hard riding Texan finally achieved his life’s ambition in 1993, rewarding his legions of loyal fans after eight years of trying. This programme was put together to tell the tale of Schwantz’s long struggle to the title. 

Recapping the highlights of his career, it also shows a lot of what Kevin got up to in his spare time; driving a Bugatti 200mph supercar, golfing with his ‘interesting’ friends and also discussing the more serious side of his profession. 

His family also make contributions to the film alongside his Lucky Strike Suzuki team to give a real picture of what made the man behind the #34 plate tick.
