Tamiya 14116 — 1/12 Yamaha YZR-M1 (2005) display kit

This 1/12 scale plastic model kit recreates the 2005 Yamaha YZR-M1 race machine as a static display piece, aimed at experienced builders and dedicated collectors.

The 2005 YZR-M1 used a four-stroke inline four-cylinder powerplant displacing 990 cc and featured chassis and fuel-tank revisions to lower the center of gravity. That season saw focused technical updates to handling and stability that helped the factory entries perform strongly in the world championship series. The YZR-M1 line from that period is noted for compact packaging and rider-focused ergonomics.

The kit emphasises exterior accuracy for the 2005 specification. It includes separate plastic components to form the frame, bodywork, and suspension, and fitted synthetic rubber tires for a more authentic look and feel. Decal sheets provide markings for the two rider numbers offered. Typical assembly requires trimming, test-fitting, and painting to match reference finishes.

Aimed at experienced hobbyists, this 1/12 scale replica captures the exterior detail of the 2005 Yamaha YZR-M1 and supplies rider-specific decals and rubber tires for realistic display builds.
