Tamiya 14116 - Yamaha YZR-M1 05 No.46/No.5  [14116]

In 2005, Yamaha celebrated its 50th anniversary and was determined to excel in MotoGP. Entering their 4th year of MotoGP, the YZR-M1 had been improved for the 2005 season. The improved features included a 4-stroke inline 4-cylinder 990cc motor that increase top rate and fuel effectiveness better than the last five valve configuration. The bicycle layout was made smaller sized by reducing and repositioning the clutch and repositioning a centrally-mount cam-driven gear. The gas tank was modified to own a reduced center of gravity together with rear surprise connected to the crankcase to give you better maneuvering and stability. The 2005 Yamaha YZR-M1 was hailed a great competition bike following the landslide win at the 2005 MotoGP World Championships. Driven by Valentino Rossi, the Yamaha YZR-M1 reported the entire world title with a 147-point margin over Marco Melandri from Honda Rushing. The entire world famous YZE-M1 has become replicated as a 1/12 scale model.
