Tamiya 14116 Yamaha YZR-M1 05 No.46/No.5 1/12 scale display motorcycle kit  [14116]

Accurate 1/12 Yamaha YZR-M1 (2005) static model — Tamiya 14116

This 1/12 scale plastic kit faithfully reproduces the 2005 Yamaha YZR-M1 as a static display model, intended for advanced builders and collectors seeking a detailed replica.

The 2005 YZR-M1 ran a 990 cc four-stroke inline-four engine and incorporated chassis and tank modifications to lower the centre of gravity. That year brought refinements focused on handling and stability which supported the factory race entries during the championship campaign. The YZR-M1 models from this period are noted for compact engineering and rider-oriented ergonomics.

The kit concentrates on external fidelity to the 2005 specification and includes separate moulded parts for the frame, bodywork and suspension. Synthetic rubber tyres are supplied to enhance visual realism and texture. Decals cover the two rider numbers included with this release. Builders should expect to perform trimming, trial assembly and painting to reach an authentic finish.

For experienced hobbyists, this 1/12 scale replica captures the exterior details of the 2005 Yamaha YZR-M1 and supplies rider-specific decals and rubber tyres for a convincing display model.
