Tamiya 14135 1/12 Yamaha XV1600 Roadstar Custom

Big cruiser bikes are popular across the world, and a lot of owners like nothing more than to customize them to their own unique tastes. This updated assembly kit recreates just such a bike, a customized version of the mighty Yamaha XV1600 Road Star, the standard version of which was released 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.
