Featuring a strong 990cc in-line 4-cylinder motor, the Yamaha YZR-M1 had been prepared to take on the dominant Honda RC211V into the 2004 MotoGP. With Rossi during the helm, the YZR-M1 didn't disappoint, helping Yamaha obtain their 1st rider's championship since Wayne Rainey won in 1992, and providing popular motorist Valentino Rossi their 4th consecutive rider's title. Following the launch of Rossi and Abe's metallic blue bike, Tamiya now gift suggestions the vibrant red and silver YZR-M1 towards replica-quality Masterwork Collection. This "Spain's No.1" Yamaha had been ridden by young Italia sensation Marco Melandri, and features acutely detail by detail interior mechanics including engine, exhaust, ram environment box and suspension system system. Besides, the tires are manufactured from die-cast steel, providing this finished display model a larger feeling of realism.
