Italeri 4502 YAMAHA YZR500 2001 (1/6) – plastic motorcycle model kit

Italeri 4502 YAMAHA YZR500 2001 is an exceptional plastic model kit in an impressive 1:6 scale, faithfully replicating the legendary Yamaha YZR500 racing motorcycle from the 2001 season. This detailed model kit allows you to build an accurate replica of the machine that made MotoGP history thanks to its advanced technology and sporting successes.

This model depicts the motorcycle used by the Yamaha factory team in the Grand Prix World Championship, i.e. the 500cc MotoGP class, at the end of the two-stroke engine era. This was the last generation of the YZR500 before being replaced by the four-stroke YZR-M1. The Yamaha YZR500 was ridden by outstanding riders such as Norick Abe and Max Biaggi. The 2001 season marked the final stage of development for this racing legend, as the motorcycle took part in the world’s most demanding circuits at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries.
