The 1997 Yamaha YZF-R1 reshaped supersport expectations by combining compact chassis packaging with a potent 1000cc engine. Tamiya captures that combination in a 1/12 scale model, offering a compact but detailed replica for model enthusiasts and collectors.
The R1's focus on cornering and balance is reflected in a Deltabox II aluminum frame and an EXUP-style exhaust on the real machine. This kit models those elements in scale, including the long-span swing arm and inverted fork, so builders can recreate the bike's performance-oriented look.
With faithfully modelled fairings and multi-reflector lights, the kit makes an appealing display subject. It caters to builders who enjoy precise assembly and realistic finishing, making it a standout addition to a collection of classic bikes.
