Classic Tamiya 14010 Suzuki GSX1100S Katana 1/12 Scale Model Kit CF410 - Vintage Bike Replica  [14010]

About the Tamiya 14010 Suzuki GSX1100S Katana Kit

The GSX1100S Katana turned heads at the 1980 Cologne Motorcycle Show with a radical new look that contrasted with mainstream designs. Its sharp profile and unique styling have made it a popular subject for plastic kit reproduction.

Distinctive Form and Practical Design

Designed by Hans A. Muth in West Germany, the Katana blended aerodynamic thinking with rider comfort. Features such as rearward footpegs and a shaped fuel tank were evaluated in wind tunnels to refine riding stability and comfort.

Vintage Engineering Recreated in Scale

Under the Katana's skin sits an air-cooled 1075cc parallel four using Suzuki TSCC technology. With about 111 horsepower and a top speed near 230 km/h, the original combined strong performance with steady handling, details the model replicates at 1/12 scale.

Tamiya's kit provides finely moulded PS components to represent the Katana's styling faithfully. It is aimed at builders who want an accurate static model with authentic proportions and detailing.
