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

In 2005, Yamaha celebrated its 50th anniversary and had been determined to excel in MotoGP. Going into their 4th year of MotoGP, the YZR-M1 ended up being improved for the 2005 period. The improved features included a 4-stroke inline 4-cylinder 990cc engine that increase top speed and fuel efficiency a lot better than the previous five valve configuration. The bicycle design had been made more compact by reducing and repositioning the clutch along with repositioning a centrally-mount cam-driven gear. The fuel tank ended up being modified to own a lower life expectancy center of gravity together with rear shock attached to the crankcase to produce better control and stability. The 2005 Yamaha YZR-M1 ended up being hailed a great battle bicycle following the landslide victory within 2005 MotoGP World Championships. Driven by Valentino Rossi, the Yamaha YZR-M1 advertised the entire world name with a 147-point margin over Marco Melandri from Honda Rushing. The entire world famous YZE-M1 is currently replicated as a 1/12 scale model.
