Tamiya 14058 1/12 Yamaha FZR750R Superbike (OW01)


Tamiya welcomes an updated re-issue of Item 14058 1/12 Yamaha FZR750R (OW01) (sold in 2011 last time) with a newly-added B5-size double-sided pamphlet with colour photos of the full-size bike for painting reference. During the 1988 Paris Show, the Yamaha Motor Company exhibited their motorcycle technology with the limited production, street-legal “works racer” designated FZR750R (OW01).

This motorcycle is based on the Yamaha YZF750 endurance racer that dominated the 1987, and 1988 Suzuka 8-hour endurance races. The 5-valve DOHC inline-4 engine featured titanium connecting rods, enlarged intake and exhaust ports, and EXUP (Exhaust Ultimate Power) system to ensure high output. The swing arm rear suspension, and lateral “Deltabox” aluminium box frame follows the YZF design, providing exceptional weight savings and rigidity. This motorcycle was delivered to only a thousand lucky riders around the world.

Purple colored special machine
This is a plastic model assembly kit of a four-wheel drive racer that is fun to race with its high performance. The Manta Ray Mk.II CITY CIRCUIT Special is a special machine designed for the “City Circuit Tokyo Bay” in Odaiba, Tokyo, planned and operated by Tom’s, which is involved in real car racing activities and car custom parts development. The body, which is modeled after a ray swimming in the ocean, is the same purple color as the EV carts (motor-powered racing carts) that run here. It features a left-right split rear wing and a raised front fender. In addition to the body markings, the “CITY CIRCUIT” and TOM’s logos are provided as special metallic stickers. The chassis is an MA that combines good driving efficiency with ease of assembly. The chassis body is black, while the rollers and gear covers are coordinated with the same purple as the body. The special low-friction tires (maroon) with the “CITY CIRCUIT TOKYO BAY” logo pad-printed tighten the feet.

MA Chassis Pursuing Driving Efficiency
“MA” stands for Midship AERO. The “MS Chassis” has a midship layout with a double shaft motor mounted in the center of the vehicle, and the “AR Chassis” is designed with particular attention to airflow (aero) while driving. The “MA Chassis” combines the excellent features of each into one chassis. Of course, by utilizing the racing know-how accumulated so far, the driving performance has been thoroughly refined, with a 3.5:1 gear ratio, six low-friction resin rollers, and a rear skid bar as standard equipment. In addition, the adoption of an integrated monocoque structure has improved ease of assembly and maintenance. This chassis can be used by a wide range of racers, from beginners to veteran racers, and from races using two-lane and three-lane courses to official competitions on large special five-lane circuits.

Basic Specifications
● Length 153mm, width 97mm, height 40mm when completed ● Double shaft motor included ● Easy snap-together assembly

Items to be purchased separately
