This is Tamiya's 1/12 scale plastic model of the Yamaha YZF-R1 sportbike. It builds a detailed water-cooled DOHC four-cylinder engine, a steerable front fork, chrome-plated small parts and realistic brake and ignition lines, with rubber-like tires and a colorful decal sheet. Paint and cement are not included, so it suits builders who already have tools and finishing supplies. Against other 1/12 bike kits, Tamiya's fit and engine detail are the draw; beginners should expect a multi-evening build rather than a snap-together toy.
