This is Tamiya's 1/12 scale plastic model kit of the Yamaha YZF-R1M superbike. It builds a detailed 998cc inline-four engine that screws to the frame, a steerable front fork, and a front cowl split into separate headlight, position light and inner cowl parts. Rubber-like tires, chrome-plated small parts and a display stand round it out. It suits experienced builders who want a display-grade sportbike; beginners should expect paint, cement and careful decal work. Against other 1/12 motorcycle kits, Tamiya's fit and molding are the draw, while the screw-fixed engine and multi-part cowl add detail at the cost of build time.
