Yamaha YZF-R1
Bike model kit Yamaha YZF-R1
At the Motorcycle Show held in Milan, Italy, in September of 1997, the Yamaha YZF-R1 supersport motorcycle made its debut.
Sporting a powerful 1000cc engine, it has the compact construction of a 400cc bike.
The YZF-R1 was developed for maximum possible cornering ability in a production motorcycle.
With a 1000cc water-cooled, four stroke, 4-cylinder, 5-valve engine and adopting a redesigned EXUP exhaust system, it pumps out 150hp of high-intensity power.
Subtle throttle control makes both superb acceleration response and rhythmic cornering a reality.
The Deltabox II aluminum frame was sought after not only for its rigidity, but more so for its moderate flexibility during tight cornering.
With the addition of a long span aluminum swing arm, high control ability has been achieved. By adopting an upside-down front fork, stroke distance has been increased and traction heightened.
Boasting a sharp form with multi-reflector lights, the YZF-R1 has been given an unprecedented style.
From the contact points between the rider and motorcycle, right down to the material used in the seat and tank, the YZF-R1 has been thoroughly studied.
Of course, the abundance of high precision and high quality parts goes without saying.
Designed to cruise at high speeds on winding roads, the YZF-R1 shatters expectations about large exhaust engine motorcycles. Yamaha has expanded the possibilities of a 1000cc bike.
Scale : 1:12
The 1:12 scale is mainly used for models and miniatures like motorcycles.
A model of motorcycle in the 1:12 scale will be 12 times smaller than the actual bike.
If the motorcycle is 2.5 m in length, then the miniature will measure 8 inches / 20.8 cm in length (250/12 = 20.8).
Figurines in the 1:12 scale are about 6 inches /15 cm high.
