Kenny Roberts Motorcycle Collection Up For Sale

Motorcycling legend Kenny Roberts has commissioned RMD Motors to auction off some rare and exclusive motorcycles from his collection, presumably to make room for more.

The five-cylinder grand prix machine never achieved much success on the world stage, but will easily make you the center of attention at your local trackday.
