This unique item is always to commemorate the production of Tamiya's 100th 1/12 scale bike model. Increasing the significance of the event, we've opted for to re-release our very first ever 1/12 scale motorcycle model, the Yamaha YZR500 Grand Prix Racer.
Long considered one of the premiere motorcycle makers in the world, Yamaha started pursuing a 500cc course triumph in 1973, as well as rival Suzuki. Yamaha acquired American driver "King" Kenny Roberts Sr. into the hopes of besting Suzuki, in which he won Grand Prix trophies for Yamaha 3 years operating from 1978 to 1980. It absolutely was the yellowish No.1 YZR500 that brought Kenny Roberts his stunning 3rd success in 1980. The Yamaha YZR500 is running on a four cylinder, two-stroke water-cooled 498cc motor mounted in a double loop, square part frame. Features including the deltabox framework and Yamaha Power Valve System (YPVS) aided make it probably one of the most effective bikes in over three decades of Grand Prix competition.
