1/12 Yamaha YZF-R1

Tamiya 14073

Excludes all glues, paints and tools necessary to assemble.

Making its debut at the 1997 Milan Motor Show was the Yamaha super sports YZF-R1, which was developed to be the fastest machine on winding roads. The compact design of the YZF-R1, as well as its sharp lines, which include the cowlings and fuel tank, are accurately reproduced as a plastic assembly model kit. The liquid-cooled 4-cylinder engine has been precisely rendered and features fine details such as cables that are depicted with vinyl tubing. The frame and swing bars come with a metal-plated finish, and an interchangeable single-seat cowl and racing stand are also included with the kit.
