TAMIYA 1/12 YAMAHA YZF-R1

Tamiya 1/12 Yamaha YZF-R1 Motorcycle Plastic Model Kit

The Tamiya 1/12 Yamaha YZF-R1 recreates the groundbreaking superbike that redefined the liter-class sports motorcycle, capturing its compact proportions, sharp bodywork and highly detailed liquid-cooled four-cylinder engine.

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.

Making its debut at the 1997 Milan Motor Show, the Yamaha YZF-R1 was developed with a focus on delivering exceptional performance on winding roads. Its compact design, sharply sculpted cowlings and fuel tank, and powerful four-cylinder engine established the R1 as one of Yamaha's most significant performance motorcycles.
