Heritage race model: Tamiya 14081 Suzuki RGV Gallant Gamma XR89 1/12 Scale Motorcycle Model Kit  [14081]

Tamiya 1/12 Suzuki RGV XR89 - kit introduction

This 1/12 scale Tamiya kit reproduces the Suzuki RGV XR89, reflecting the machine used during the 1999 World Road Race Championships. It recalls the season in which Kenny Roberts, Jr. delivered standout results and is intended for those who value authentic race replicas.

Origins and racing significance

The 1999 500cc championship was defined by close competition and technical progress. The XR89, featuring a V-type 4-cylinder engine in an aluminium twin-tube frame, emerged as a noteworthy contender. The model captures those defining elements.

Construction notes and display potential

Tamiya provides finely moulded components that represent the engine, frame and race details. The assembly rewards careful work, and the finished model makes a strong display example for collectors of classic racing motorcycles.
