Yamaha XV1600 Road Star Custom (1:12 Scale)

Details

This model kit recreates a customized version of the Yamaha XV1600 Road Star. The standard kit is available as item 14080. The XV1600 Road Star featured a 1,600cc V-twin that made it one of the most powerful motorcycles of its day, with telescopic front suspension and a rear shock tucked out of sight for a classic hardtail look to accentuate the low-slung lines, and liberal use of chrome. Customized bikes had side bags, a larger windshield, and many more variations.

This kit is produced in pre-coloured plastic so additional painting and weathering can be applied if needed. We recommend the use of Tamiya Cement Glue to construct this kit.
