So many memories of Kenny...My motorcycle hero when I was a kid. He changed how people raced and road the race bikes. He really is a legend.

[@triciabarron]

Haven't thought about this for many years, but tonight I hung out with my neighbors who are avid dirt bike riders (Bobby Tocco) . Told them how Kenny Roberts brought back so many good memories of my childhood. How my dad worked 7 days a week trying to support a family of 11.....his only enjoyment; and my best memory was at Northville Downs Race Track ....... My dad would be front and center screaming "go Kenny!" thrusting his arm into the air, smiling, having fun, loving life. My Dad passed 25 years ago. What great memories, thank you

I got to meet Kenny Roberts when I was a kid. My Dad raced Kawasaki in drag and road race on the old Z1 . Dad introduced me to Mr. Roberts at an Elsonore scramble. My Dad told me I just shook hands with the greatest rider of all time. Still agree. The man did it all!

[@MasterChief-sl9ro]

Roberts did some crazy amazing things. He won on a Yamaha 650 Twin. Used a TZ750 2 stroke on dirt and won.... That shit was epic.

[@upen52]

Kenny is THE King ! I have loved him since I started riding. Kenny and Yamaha.....unmatched and undisputed. Ever. Love you Ken.

[@miroslavm2553]

Once a King, always a King. Kenny was simply unmatched. I am old enough to remember the time when he was the King. It is a real shame that America doesn't have a single representative in Moto GP neither in WSBK.

It’s entirely possible that this is the most beautiful racing machine ever crafted by the hand of man. I love Yamaha’s

[@stevefowler2112]

I had the pleasure of meeting Kenny at Daytona when I was an 18 year old in '75. I had just hung up my motocross (I also did a little flat track and Enduro races and some Trials competitions) racing boots after about a 6 year career where I earned an AMA Experts License in 125cc class (ranked as high as 7th in the state of Florida)and my local Yamaha shop that had sponsored me (Island Yamaha in Merritt Island Fl.) was looking at me to campaign a partial season on a TZ-250, I went to Daytona with them just to get some practice laps in for me to see what I thought of road racing and for them to see if my times warranted them giving me a somewhat full ride. Kenny was there (with Cal) on the factory TZ-750's and on pit row during their practice I walked up and introduced myself and congratulated him on hos Grand National championship and talked to him about steering with the rear wheel (explaining I had just started doing it in motocross, I just stumbled into it, thinking I had invented it, and was wondering what he thought of doing it in pavement)...his eyes lit up and he spoke for about 2 or 3 minutes about the advantage of steering with the rear tire on pavement. As it turned out I did get a few sponsored rides in late '75 and '76 on the TZ-250 and loved it but I then was off to Engineering college so ended my racing career...I kinda always felt had I stuck with it I may have been able to make a living at it, but in hindsight I feel like we (my dad and I, who was an Engineer who gave me lots of financial support not to mention was my chief wrench) made the right decision, as I just recently retired with 31 years at America's largest defense contractor so I am pretty well financially set...but re: Kenny, while he was very serious, he was just the nicest guy you'd ever want to meet, and I could tell he was smart as a tack, not to mention he obviously had other worldly scooter skills.

I started riding on the road in 1980 here in the UK when most English kids wanted to be Barry Sheene but for me Kenny was my hero and the king. If you saw him race he was a total professional cool smooth and the yellow Yamaha's just looked so good. Thanks for some great memories Kenny 👍

[@briangriffin928]

Always loved the colours of this bike! I was a big fan of King Kenny and had my crash helmets painted like his, once when he was signing his autobiography at silverstone I got him to sign my helmet along the back just like his.

[@HawthornandClark]

His battles with Barry Sheene were so fantastic to watch. As a teenager in the UK back in the day, these guys were idols...great video

When he goes through the corkscrew...it is simply epic (for a fan, like me). What a legend.

[@kevinjamesdawes7223]

As a brit thus takes me back to Kenny and Barry. Went to a lot of the transatlantic races. A big event in our year. 4 strokes just dont excite like 2strokes and expansion pipes. They reinvented motor biking and everyone had a Yamaha or a suzuki.

[@tomupchurch4911]

Always good to see Kenny and Kel together... Kel looks good..

[@jamesfenton7338]

I got an RD-400, and it was real quick. Thank God the Z-100 was so expensive, otherwise I wouldn't have survived those years. Kenny was magical, it's impossibly crazy stuff he did on a bike, He made it look easy, just like master craftsmen do.

[@charlesaguilar8301]

Hey James! Port the cylinder to given specs (sorry I can't reveal mine) and it'll really "ZING"!

[@motogpracebikes]

I have fond memories of this guy! I sponsored a two bike club team from 80' to 88'. During the summer went to Europe to catch the Dutch TT and the following week to Spa for the Belgium race. Through my bike company name, Motorsport Two Stroke Eng. got pit passes and start finish line seats to both. During the week to the race in Spa we would be with him and Eddie and Freddie in the pits. These are the nicest people to be with. Because of his belief in rider safety, the race in Spa after 88' was never run again. The front straight downhill into the kink and then up the hill to a long straight ended with a 90 turn to the right followed by a 90 to the left then a short piece to another 90 right slight downhill. Kenny had asked the race directors to put hay bales against the Armco at the first right, which had guys going into at decelerating down from 150mph to make the turn. Some didn't always make it and slid into it at 60-80 mph. They refused his request. They didn't realize Kenny wasn't bluffing, and being the riders spokesman, all riders refused to return and it's been that way ever since. In one of his early races overseas the track officials didn't like him. In one of his videos he tells the press after winning a race, " if they want to treat me shitty, that's okay, they can keep their damn trophy "............that's basically the essence of this guy. Cycle news a few years back , because of his devotion to the sport of motorcycling and trying to promote it all over the world, voted him racer of the century. I agree!

[@2fas4me2]

As a little boy, while Kenny Roberts was making his mark on the racing world, I was riding a TY80. Trials riding was fun. Each night as I grew up, glued to the wall in my corner of the room, right beside my bed, were the clippings I took from Cycle News that showed Kenny taking all three classes, 125, 250 and 500cc championships. Old black and white photo newspaper shots. He was then and still is my hero. Kenny, if you see this, just know that when I see you ride, the little boy in me dreams of riding with you and like you, even today. I could go on but I'll leave it right here. You're an incredible man and rider and will forever be my hero! Thank you!

[@antondahl8945]

Saw him (them - Rainey, Lawson, Baldwin, Mamola etc) in 78 & 79 at Laguna Seca old configuration. Would have been fun to be at this current event & see King Kenny ride again...

[@terrygoyan]

I wonder if this is the first time Kenny rode the "new" longer track. He raced on it prior to it's FIM homologation. The infield was added to meet FIM minimum length. I remember Kenny wheeling through the cork screw. He was leaps and bounds faster then the other riders of the time. Good to see the old livery, the yellow and black was always my favorite yamaha colors. My only complaint is Kel Carruthers not wrenching on it the bike and the music. The target audience are all motorcycle fans and would much prefer to hear the bike!

[@MrSooperdee]

i remember kenny and eddie in 80 or81 every lap out of old turn 9 (at laguna) wheelie past the foot bridge. they lapped everyrider some twice

Well, really an emotion. In 1983 me and my brother made an unbelievable trip with an old Fiat 500 of our grand father, travelling across the dusty roads of Center Italy, just to support him in the Imola Grand Prix. It was the last GP of the season, and Kenny was competing with another USA rider, Freddie Spencer. He won the race but his team mate (Randy Mamola) was unable to stay ahead of Freddie, who arrived 2nd and got his 1st world Championship. Kenny was already a legend, also in our country...

I loved how when you first turn the key in the RZ, the power valve turns one way and they another to clean itself. I have seen the RZ500 for sale, but they want like 15 to 20,000 $ US for a 33 year old bike. Would love to buy one or a Kawasaki K2 full race bike.

[@tedcrum]

Could be that the stepper motor indexes itself by running to the stop, then counting steps back. There's one of these for sale right now on Craigs List SF. At the same price you mentioned, 20k. I was lucky to have been at the 2011 MotoGP where I believe this was recorded.

[@kellienicolebrooksschettin6598]

I will tell u this I race motocross and I fell in love with Road racing the first time I did it and I will tell Kenny is a great rider because he tamed that YAMAHA...I race a stock 750 Yamaha superbike and they have a unique way they handle and Kenny was able to tame that great bike and come to terms with its beasty ness rather then let it spit him off...the man races motorcycles it what he does....he ain't the king for no reason...I love his attitude if the fans are happy and I survive it....the bike is a beast I used follow F1 bike in the 90s so I know and personally found out some bikes go fast but require more respect and don't allow u to go over the line at all or near it with out making u pay by chucking u off....THANKS for good video

[@frankburdodrums8984]

That had to feel great. I know this is no comparison but when the weather gets nice abd you get your bike out for the 1st ride of the season and you get on it and open it up. It's like being reborn. He had to feel like that times 1,000,000.

[@kimkleiner8456]

Yes, think I saw a national in '78 or '79 that hardly any of the other riders were on the same lap. I was watching from the top of the corkscrew and he was already on his back wheel. Continued on his back wheel all the way to the finish line. Thought that was a bit arrogant to do such a thing on the last lap but he didn't just get away with it, he owned it. I was a little disappointed because I didn't care who won. Just wanted to see some close racing. Couldn't deny the talent and with the rest of the field so far behind he was probably riding at 6/10 of his ability. My disappointment didn't last long cuz open sidehacks were next and the corkscrew offered a lot of action for the passinger ( monkey? ). Rode home on my Guzzi v7 sport trying desperately to drag a knee.
