The Tamiya 14085 model kit recreates the Yamaha YZF-R1 in 1/12 scale with attention to the machine's racing silhouette and mechanical detail. This Taira Racing edition honours Tadahiko Taira's race history and uses a brown-tinted transparent full-view cowling to let builders show off the modelled engine components.
Chrome-plated frame elements and rear arms add a convincing metal look while the Michelin High Sports tread is reproduced to reflect the original tyre profile. The liquid-cooled four-cylinder unit mounts to the frame with small screws, demonstrating careful assembly detail. The rear seat cowl is removable to reveal a solo-seat layout, and a racing stand is included for tidy display.
The kit contains distinctive Taira Racing items including the race-style exhaust and matching rear fender, plus decal sheets to accurately depict the Taira Racing livery so builders can finish an authentic-looking replica.
