TAMIYA 1/12 YAMAHA XV1600 ROAD STAR

Tamiya 1/12 Yamaha XV1600 Road Star

The Tamiya 1/12 Yamaha XV1600 Road Star recreates Yamaha's imposing large-capacity cruiser, combining a long, low-slung chassis with a muscular 1,600cc air-cooled V-twin engine and classic cruiser styling.

Please note this is an unassembled plastic model kit requiring assembly; paints, cement and hobby tools are not included and are required to complete the model.

The XV1600 Road Star was designed to deliver a combination of comfort, performance and style, with its huge pushrod V-twin mounted in an ultra-long chassis. Tamiya's detailed reproduction captures the delicate engine cooling fins, spoke wheels, brake and clutch lines and extensive chrome detailing, while real screws are used during assembly for added realism.
