Tamiya 14090 Suzuki Hayabusa 1300 GSX1300R 1/12 Scale Motorcycle Model Kit - Detailed Collector Edition  [14090]

Tamiya 14090 review: Suzuki Hayabusa 1300 (GSX1300R) in 1/12 scale

The Suzuki Hayabusa has been a standout sportbike since 1998 thanks to its combination of speed and distinctive styling. Tamiya's 1/12 kit reproduces the bike's presence in miniature, offering a satisfying build for enthusiasts and display collectors.

A faithful reproduction of the original

With a real-world output near 175hp and a streamlined fairing, the Hayabusa's defining elements are well represented in this kit. The unique cowling shape and twin headlamp arrangement are modelled to reflect the original machine's appearance.

Parts, fit and finish

The finished model measures 178mm in length and 71mm across, mirroring the real bike's proportions. The upper cowling and fuel tank come as one moulded piece to preserve the correct lines. Screws secure the engine, cowling and swing arms to the frame for a robust assembly, and rubber tyres lend a realistic touch to the complete model.
