Tamiya 14091 - 1/12 Antena 3 Yamaha YZR500 Team D'Antin 2002  [14091]

• After the Yamaha YZR500 won the entire world Championship in 1975, Yamaha's 2-stroke 500cc GP racers began their reign as top category devices into the Bike Off-road World Championship. Starting in 2002, 4-stroke 990cc racers were permitted to take part and also to allow mixed events, as a new class called MotoGP is made. Yamaha, Honda, Suzuki and also the Aprilia joined 4-stroke devices to compete against 2 stroke machines during a period that had fans in the side of their seats. In 2002 period, Yamaha joined 8 machines under 4 teams. The factory team had been equipped with a 2-stroke YZR500. The season 2002 marked Japanese driver Norifumi "Norick" Abe's 7th full 12 months worldwide Championships as he raced once more under the Antenna 3 Yamaha d'Antin Team. The group's device ended up being the latest development regarding the YZR500. The 4-cylinder 2-stroke 2-shaft V-engine had been developed utilising the most advanced technology and offered increased power and more efficient control because of its optimized intake/exhaust airflow and compressions. Like previous Yamaha YZR500's, this device also employed characteristic large cowling that wraps the driver, and two exhaust pipelines the period out from the razor-sharp back cowling. Although 4-stroke bikes were dominant, Abe's Yamaha YZR500 was a critical threat towards the competition as a result of its lightweight and agility. With Spanish driver P.Riba as their teammate, the d'Antin Team went in to the 2002 season with high hopes.
