Part 1 of the Yamaha YZR-M1

Last weekend, I started my new paper craft project. It is an YZR M1 motorcycle another product of Yamaha. The M1 is an 800cc sports bike specifically developed for racing purposes on the MotoGP series. Other specifications include a Liquid-cooled, in-line, 4-cylinder, 4-stroke with 16-valve DOHC engine which is fuel injected to ensure perfect as possible combustion process. A 6-speed cassette-type gearbox, with alternative gear ratios is also fitted to complement the power of the engine.

Coming back to the real world of mine, what I am doing right now is made from paper so there are no such specifications included. What you will just see are sheets of papers, pastes, scissors, toothpick, and other materials needed for paper crafting. So let start now what I have done so far..

The first images are the front suspension system complete with handle bars, brake levers, brake calipers and mud protector.

The next two images are the finished rear part of the M1. It includes the rear part with seats on it.

Next are the fuel tanks with Yamaha logo on both sides

The front panel which contains the removed portion of headlight including the windshield can be seen in the next array of images. The headlight is removed due to aerodynamic reasons and load reduction for faster acceleration and top speed.

For our last image the exhaust pipe is also completer. It consist of the down pipe, the muffler, pipe shield, plus the clip where the canister can be fitted snugly over the motorcycle.
