Tamiya 14001 - Yamaha YZR500 G.P.Racer  [14001]

This unique product should commemorate the production of Tamiya's 100th 1/12 scale bike model. Increasing the significance of occasion, we have chosen to re-release our initial ever 1/12 scale bike model, the Yamaha YZR500 Grand Prix Racer.

Lengthy considered one of many premiere bike makers on earth, Yamaha started pursuing a 500cc course triumph in 1973, on top of that as competing Suzuki. Yamaha acquired US rider "King" Kenny Roberts Sr. within the hopes of besting Suzuki, in which he won Grand Prix trophies for Yamaha 36 months operating from 1978 to 1980. It absolutely was the yellow No.1 YZR500 that brought Kenny Roberts their stunning 3rd triumph in 1980. The Yamaha YZR500 is powered by a four cylinder, two-stroke water-cooled 498cc motor mounted in a double loop, square area framework. Features including the deltabox framework and Yamaha Power Valve System (YPVS) assisted help it become perhaps one of the most successful bikes in over 30 years of Grand Prix competition.
