The Lancia Stratos HF is, without any doubts, a reference icon of Italian automotive production during the ‘70s. The Italian sport car, produced for a short period of time, has become famous for its innovative design, its technical solutions and, above all, for the success achieved in rally competitions. Lancia Stratos won, for the 1974, 1975 and 1976 the World Rally Championship and a lot of Italian and European titles. In terms of mechanical lay out, it adopted the 6 cylinders V engine characterized by a displacement of 2,418 cc, and the rear-wheel drive transmission. Its unique and nice design is, even today, an attractive dream for all fans of the automotive history.

At the Motorcycle Show held in Milan, Italy, in September of 1997, the Yamaha YZF-R1 supersport motorcycle made its debut. Sporting a powerful 1000cc engine, it has the compact construction of a 400cc bike. The YZF-R1 was developed for maximum possible cornering ability in a production motorcycle. With a 1000cc water-cooled, four stroke, 4-cylinder, 5-valve engine and adopting a redesigned EXUP exhaust system, it pumps out 150hp of high-intensity power. Subtle throttle control makes both superb acceleration response and rhythmic cornering a reality. The Deltabox II aluminum frame was sought after not only for its rigidity, but more so for its moderate flexibility during tight cornering. With the addition of a long span aluminum swing arm, high control ability has been achieved. By adopting an upside-down front fork, stroke distance has been increased and traction heightened. Boasting a sharp form with multi-reflector lights, the YZF-R1 has been given an unprecedented style. From the contact points between the rider and motorcycle, right down to the material used in the seat and tank, the YZF-R1 has been thoroughly studied. Of course, the abundance of high precision and high quality parts goes without saying. Designed to cruise at high speeds on winding roads, the YZF-R1 shatters expectations about large exhaust engine motorcycles. Yamaha has expanded the possibilities of a 1000cc bike.

Although now featuring 990cc 4-stroke engine bikes, prior to 2002 the

top class of the World Motorcycle Grand Prix was the GP500, featuring

bikes restricted to 500cc engines capable of producing a maximum 150hp.

In the 1980's Honda and Yamaha dominated the GP500, with Honda racing

their legendary NSR 500. Honda's 2-stroke V4 engine loaded NSR 500 made

her first appearance in the GP500 in 1984. After a disappointing debut

season the NSR 500 lived up to all expectations in 1985, with former

world champion Freddie Spencer taking out his second world title. In

1986, whilst the NSR 500 was in the capable hands of Wayne Gardner in

the GP500 class, in Japan it flew the famous Honda racing team colours

in the domestic All Japan Road Race Championship. Burdening high

expectations for instant success, by round 3 champion Honda rider Keiji

Kinoshita and the NSR 500 had already formed a formidable combination.

Drawing out the full potential of the powerful 2-stroke 499cc V4

engine, the Kinoshita-NSR 500 combination clock d the fastest time in

qualifying to go on and win Honda's first race of the season. Taking

out a second consecutive win in round 4, Kinoshita had already climbed

to the top in the riders championship. Holding the lead for the rest of

the season, Kinoshita took out his first title in 5 years and Honda

their first ever domestic title in the 500cc class. Improving with

every season, the legendary NSR 500 continued to be used at the top

racing level until the arrival of the revolutionary 4-stroke 990cc

RC211 V in 2002.

About the Honda CB750F

The Honda CB750F Motorcycle appeared on the Japanese market in June 1979 and was shortly to become the best seller in the 750 class. Just ten years prior to their 750F release, Honda opened up the field of multicylinder bikes with their now famous four cylinder CB750. Honda had won several Grand Prix motorcycle races with multi-cylinder bikes, and the CB750 was based upon these experiences. The engines worked flawlessly and provided very smooth power, and so shocked the industry that shortly many of the famous makers produced four cylinder large cubic motorcycles. Honda, of course, held the number one position in sales for many years, but then Kawasaki released their "Z" series DOHC 4 cylinder 750 bikes, and took over the number one position, relegating Honda to 2nd place. Honda, however, did not take this set back for long, and continued to improve their engines, and in 1979 released a CB750K DOHC with four valves per cylinder, a powerful 68hp, and new body styling. It was not long before Honda was again number one! The CB750F, released in June 1979 was styled after the very popular European Honda CB900F which had been copied from their racing RCB bike. This styling was new to stock motorcycles in the world. With the low positioned handle bars and rear positioned foot rests, allowed a "slouched" riding position. The style is setting the standard for the eighties.

The CB750F is powered by a 4 cylinder DOHC 748cc engine with 4 valves per cylinder, and the 1981 version produces 70 brake horsepower. The bike has a double cradle frame of welded steel tubing, semi-air front suspension system, and FQV damped rear coils. Braking utilizes the dual piston caliper system, with dual discs in front and a single disc at the rear. A newly designed racing type front fender with spoiler has proved to be very popular among the bike enthusiasts. The overall styling of that unveiled in 1979, with the smooth flowing lines from tank to tail light have been retained, and it is likely that this fine motorcycle will stay at the forefront of sales for years to come.

This is an all-new kit designed by Tamiya's top designers which

recreates the "Easy Eight" variant of the legendary Sherman medium

tank. The M4A3E8 was known fondly as the “Easy Eight” by its crews,

thanks to the relatively smooth drive afforded by its Horizontal Volute

Spring Suspension (HVSS). Another distinguishing feature was its 76mm

gun. Some of the 2,500 examples produced were in time to appear in the

Battle of the Bulge (Dec. 1944-Jan. 1945), and others even served in

the Korean War years after the Allied WWII triumph. Movie buffs will no

doubt also recall that the "Easy Eight" was the star of the 2014 hit

film "Fury."
