Tamiya 14091 - 1/12 Antena 3 Yamaha YZR500 Team D'Antin 2002 田宮比例模型電單車 雙星孖星  [14091]

• After the Yamaha YZR500 won the World Championship in 1975, Yamaha&39;s 2-stroke 500cc GP racers began their reign as top category machines in the Bike Off-road World Championship. Beginning in 2002, 4-stroke 990cc racers were allowed to participate and to allow mixed races, as a new class named MotoGP was created. 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. In the 2002 season, Yamaha entered 8 machines under 4 teams. The factory team was equipped with a 2-stroke YZR500. The year 2002 marked Japanese rider Norifumi "Norick" Abe&39;s 7th full year in the World Championships as he raced once again under the Antenna 3 Yamaha d&39;Antin Team. The team&39;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&39;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. Even though 4-stroke bikes were dominant, Abe&39;s Yamaha YZR500 was a serious threat to the competition thanks to its lightweight and agility. With Spanish rider P.Riba as his teammate, the d&39;Antin Team went into the 2002 season with high hopes.
