Yamaha YZR-500: A Racing Legend in 1/12 Scale

The Tamiya 14075 - 1/12 Yamaha YZR-500 Taira Version is a detailed representation of the iconic motorcycle that dominated the 1983 All Japan Road Race. This model kit encapsulates the engineering marvel of the YZR-500, featuring a two-cycle, water-cooled, four-cylinder engine that was groundbreaking in its time. The unique V-shaped engine layout, with its low center of gravity, set new standards in performance and design.

Yamaha's decision to innovate with an aluminum frame instead of the traditional double-cradle style paved the way for future motorcycle designs. The asymmetrical frame design provided both strength and reduced weight, crucial for high-speed racing. This model kit allows hobbyists to appreciate the meticulous craftsmanship and engineering that defined the YZR-500's success on the track.
