Tamiya 14073 - Yamaha YZF-R1 1/12 Scale - Detail-Focused Model Kit  [14073]

Explore the Tamiya 1/12 Yamaha YZF-R1 scale replica

When Yamaha launched the YZF-R1 in 1997 it set new standards for compact supersport design while packing a 1000cc engine. Tamiya recreates that influential machine in 1/12 scale, delivering a faithful miniature for enthusiasts who enjoy studying motorcycle form and mechanics.

Scale reproduction of core mechanics

The original bike emphasized handling with a Deltabox II aluminum frame and a tuned exhaust system. This kit reproduces the EXUP-style exhaust, long-span aluminum swing arm and inverted front fork in scale, letting modelers appreciate the bike's mechanical intent on a smaller footprint.

Why model builders value this kit

Builders will find the kit rewarding thanks to detailed bodywork and realistic components. The multi-reflector lights and sharp fairing contours are modelled to present well on a shelf or in a display case, reflecting Yamaha's leap in 1000cc motorcycle design.
