View the Tamiya 1/12 Yamaha YZF-R1 scale kit

Yamaha's 1997 YZF-R1 brought a new approach to supersport bikes by combining compact ergonomics with a 1000cc powerplant. Tamiya reproduces that landmark motorcycle in 1/12 scale, producing a compact replica that showcases the machine's design language and mechanical highlights.

Faithful chassis and component reproduction

The R1 concentrated on handling through a Deltabox II aluminum frame and a tuned exhaust configuration. This kit captures those aspects in miniature form, including the long-span swing arm and inverted front fork, offering a clear representation of the bike's structure and intent.

Collector appeal and modelling satisfaction

The model appeals to builders who enjoy careful assembly and convincing finishes. The detailed fairings and multi-reflector lights recreate the bike's silhouette, making the finished model a strong addition to any display of classic sports motorcycles.
