MotoAmerica produces a commemorative online magazine for its VIP “Superfans” following each race weekend. The one created for the April 4-6 “Superbikes at Barber” round at the Barber Motorsports Park was extra-special because it included a section about Kenny Roberts Jr.’s exhibition laps aboard the Team Roberts KR211V.
Roberts Jr.’s podium at the Circuito do Estoril in Portugal marked the last time a bike built by a privateer team led a MotoGP race or finished on the podium, noted MotoAmerica Content Manager Sean Bice. The Honda-powered KR211V is part of the Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum’s permanent collection.

A gleaming, glass-walled elevator is the first architectural element visitors see when entering the museum. This stunning central feature will swallow a full-size pickup and has a lift capacity of 12 tons—twice the weight of an adult African elephant.
Four towers flank the elevator, each supporting 15 full-size motorcycles, 60 in total. Besides the concrete ramp that spirals down levels of the museum, the elevator is the only way to move large numbers of people throughout the building.
MEI Total Elevator Solutions, which has designed and installed custom elevators at a wide variety of locations throughout North America, manufactured the hydraulically actuated unit. The central shaft is moored 80 feet belowground.
A carbon-fiber Arrows Formula One chassis sits atop the walk-through car. What’s that at the very bottom? Why, it’s a life-size facsimile of a human skeleton and pet dog. Museum founder George Barber is well-known for his great sense of humor.

For more than 20 years, the museum has invited guests who have made significant historical contributions to the advancement of motorsports in the U.S. and overseas to sign the concrete columns adjacent to the basement restoration shop. Many examples are dated, and several different languages are represented. Which names do you recognize? Who has the most handsome signature?

Supersport racer Kayla Yaakov wore a Barber Motorsports Park-themed HJC helmet this past weekend at the MotoAmerica "Superbikes at Barber" event. The vinyl wrap produced by Kentucky-based GearHead Design & Graphics featured iconic park sculptures crafted by Ted Gall and Bill Secunda, including Kayla’s favorite: the ant colony.
Kayla, who considers Barber a “home” track, had two strong performances on her Rahal Ducati Moto Panigale V2, finishing fifth in race one and seventh in race two. The 17-year-old Pennsylvania native is fifth overall in the points standings. Good luck throughout the rest of this season, Kayla.
