The Tamiya 14085 kit brings the Yamaha YZF-R1 to life at 1/12 scale, focusing on realistic mechanical appearance and racing styling. This Taira Racing version celebrates Tadahiko Taira and features a brown-tinted transparent cowling so the engine layout is visible when built.
Chrome-plated frame and rear arm parts boost the visual realism and the Michelin High Sports tyres are faithfully modelled. The liquid-cooled four-cylinder engine secures to the frame with small screws to reflect real assembly methods. The rear seat cowl can be removed for a single-seat racer look and a display stand is included for presentation.
The kit includes Taira Racing-specific elements such as the tuned exhaust and rear fender, plus a selection of decals to reproduce the authentic racing graphics of this edition.
