Last year, Roberts’s family began searching for an RMAX as a birthday gift. Finding a new rig right now is not the easiest of tasks. Yamaha caught word that the family was on the hunt, and asked if it could help deliver something extra special for the occasion. At the Yamaha factory in Newnan, Georgia, work began on a custom RMAX 1000 LE with a one-off livery that matches the championship-winning bike from 1978.
