Tamiya made 1/12 Yamaha YZF-R1 (14073) Motorcycles Vehicles assembly kit
During the Motorcycle Show held in Milan, Italy, in September of 1997, the Yamaha YZF-R1 supersport motorcycle made its first. Displaying a powerful 1000cc engine, this has the compact construction of a 400cc bike. The YZF-R1 was developed for maximum feasible cornering capability in a production motorcycle. With a 1000cc water-cooled, four stroke, 4-cylinder, 5-valve engine and adopting a redesigned EXUP exhaust system, it pumps out 150hp of high-intensity energy. Simple throttle control makes both superb acceleration response and rhythmic cornering a real possibility. The Deltabox II aluminum frame had been sought after not just for its rigidity, but way more for the moderate flexibility during tight cornering. With the help of a long period aluminum swing arm, high control capability is accomplished. By adopting an upside-down front fork, stroke distance happens to be increased and traction heightened. Boasting a sharp form with multi-reflector lights, the YZF-R1 has been given an unprecedented design. From contact points between your driver and motorcycle, right down to the material utilized in the chair and tank, the YZF-R1 has been completely examined. Obviously, the abundance of high precision and good quality parts goes without saying. Designed to cruise at high speeds on winding roadways, the YZF-R1 shatters expectations about big exhaust motor motorcycles. Yamaha has expanded the options of a 1000cc bike.
