Yamaha YZF-R1M (Tamiya 1/12)

1/12 Yamaha YZF-R1M

This is the latest release in the storied Tamiya 1/12 Motorcycle Series, and it recreates the 2018 spec of the highly successful YZF-R1M. 2018 is a landmark year for the long-running YZF-R1, as it celebrates its 20th anniversary; the YZF-R1M is the eighth generation of the bike, released in 2015.

It was designed as a circuit motorcycle, and its design and technology were heavily influenced by data harvested from the YZR-M1 MotoGP bike. The YZF-R1M has appeared in races such as the Superbike World Championship and All Japan Road Race Championship, one of its highly notable achievements being an astounding three back-to-back wins of the Suzuka 8 Hours between 2015 and 2017.
