Tamiya 14074 1/12 Yamaha YZF-R1 Taira

This is a 1/12 Plastic Yamaha YZF-R1 Taira Racing Motorcycle from Tamiya.

      It is commonly held that long distance touring is only for massive, high displacement motorcycles. At the Milan show in September of 1997, Yamaha shattered this myth with its YZF-R1. The YZF-R1 has drawn worldwide attention with its ability to nimbly round turn after turn at breathtaking speeds.
