With exceptional footage from 500cc and 750cc races of 1977 plus interviews with Baker and other stars of the season we discover how the 'rookie' claimed a World Championship at his first attempt and was only beaten to the 500cc crown by the mercurial Sheene. In the next three films we relive one of the most amazing eras of motorcycle Grand Prix racing the reign of 'King' Kenny. Roberts burst onto the 500cc GP scene in 1978 and proved unstoppable taking the title not only in his first season but in 1979 and 1980 as well. He made it look easy but as these extraordinary films remind us the American superstar had to battle with the very best all the way to secure his hard-earned World Championship victories.
