The Tamiya 14075 - 1/12 Yamaha YZR-500 Taira Version captures the look of the 1983 competition bike, including the two-cycle, water-cooled, four-cylinder engine arrangement that gave it a compact profile. The model emphasises the motorcycle's racing-oriented packaging and low centre of gravity.
Yamaha adopted an aluminium frame design rather than the older double-cradle layout to improve stiffness and reduce weight, and those changes are visible in the model's lines. The kit lets modellers explore the chassis shape and external details that mattered in that era of racing.
