Yamaha YZR-M1 2004 – Valentino Rossi First Title

2004 was the year Valentino Rossi proved his genius by joining Yamaha and immediately winning the World Championship, silencing critics and cementing his legendary status forever. This 1:12 scale model recreates that historic machine in vivid detail.

The classic Gauloises Yamaha blue livery with yellow accents is faithfully reproduced, a color scheme that remains one of the most beloved in MotoGP history. The relatively simple aerodynamic package of the 2004 era YZR-M1 is accurately captured.

The traditional 990cc four-cylinder engine era exhaust layout with four pipes exiting high on the right side is a distinctive period detail. The Michelin tire logos are tampo printed on the synthetic rubber tires.

A commemorative collector’s piece marking one of the greatest achievements in motorsport. Includes a historical fact sheet about Rossi’s remarkable 2004 season.
