<b>Minimum age</b>: 1 year After the Yamaha YZR500 won the World Championship in 1975, Yamaha's 2-stroke 500cc GP racers began their reign as top category machines in the Bike Off-road World Championship. Yamaha, Honda, Suzuki and the Aprilia entered 4-stroke machines to compete against 2 stroke machines during a season that had fans on the edge of their seats. The team's machine was the latest evolution of the YZR500. The 4-cylinder 2-stroke 2-shaft V-engine had been developed using the latest technology and provided increased power and more efficient control thanks to its optimized intake/exhaust airflow and compressions. Like previous Yamaha YZR500's, this machine also employed characteristic large cowling that wraps the rider, as well as two exhaust pipes that point out of the sharp rear cowling. <b>Packaging contents</b>: 1 self-assembly model (plastic components, soft vinyl tyres, fasteners) Although this version is the 26th 1/12 bike kit that Tamiya produced, the bike kit itself was the first. * Detachable seat and cowlings are fixed with tiny screws. * Decals for No.6 and No.20 are supplied.
