Yamaha D'Antin 2001

[cabarbe]

Hi guys,

I am thinking about building a Yamaha from Team D'Antin 2001. I would use the Biaggi's YZR500 01 kit but I am not sure if the satellite Team D'Antin possessed the same bikes than the official team or if they used bikes from the past year. I would be very grateful if someone could inform. I google-ed but there is almost nothing...

Try googling the riders Norick (Norifumi) Abe and José-Luis Cardoso instead.
There are probably some differences as the Dantin team wasn't a factory team. I would suggest using the Tech 3 bike instead of Biaggis Marlboro bike and making changes to that kit from what you find in ref pics.

Hi Joel,

First of all, thanks for your reply.

Why do you suggest to use the Tech 3 kit instead of the official one? I guess both are the same with different decals. Am I wrong?

Cheers.

If I remember correctly you get an extra sprue with parts for the tech 3 bike, front fender and seat cowl amongst a few smaller stuff. But I have to dig into my stash to confirm that.
