Development and results
Yamaha's American Kenny Roberts took the third consecutive 500cc victory in a season that was shortened by the cancellations of the Venezuelan and Austrian Grands Prix. Randy Mamola took over at Suzuki from Barry Sheene. Kawasaki returned to the 500 cc class with a monocoque, four-cylinder bike for Kork Ballington.2 Honda continued with its exotic NR500 four-stroke but began to realize that it was at a disadvantage against its two-stroke competitors.2

There were only six rounds in the 350cc class that saw South Africa's Jon Ekerold, a true privateer, take the championship against factory Kawasaki Anton Mang.2 Mang would take the 250cc crown from defending champion Ballington while Pier Paolo Bianchi won the 125cc title.2 Eugenio Lazzarini won a tough battle against Switzerland's Stefan Dörflinger to win the 50cc championship by just 2 points.3
