During this summer’s Indianapoli GP, one of the best promo events was during the break in the AMA Grand National dirt track event, where Kenny Roberts straddling his infamous Yamaha TZ750 and did several hot laps at full throttle.
It was such a success that those great guys at Yamaha Motor USA, who have given us the funniest videos with their riders, has decided to remember this event with an interview with the ‘King.’

Seeing the speed at which that bike was going on the dirt really makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up! If you fall off, you’ll get some injuries far worse that if you were racing car or vans!!!
