The Italeri 1/9 model captures the rugged spirit of the YAMAHA Tenere 660cc that competed in the 1986 Paris Dakar. Intended for hobbyists who appreciate historical accuracy, the kit highlights the mechanical form and rally-ready silhouette of the original motorcycle.
Parts are moulded to show engine detail, frame lines and suspension elements, offering an enjoyable assembly process. Once painted and assembled, the model displays well on a shelf or in a diorama celebrating classic rally endurance.
The 1986 Paris Dakar pushed machines and riders to extremes, and the Tenere 660cc was noted for resilience across dunes and rocky tracks. Recreating this bike provides insight into the engineering choices of that era.
