Tamiya 1/12 Yamaha XV1000 Virago

The Tamiya 1/12 Yamaha XV1000 Virago captures the distinctive character of Yamaha's pioneering cruiser, combining a teardrop-shaped fuel tank, generous double seat and muscular 981cc V-Twin engine in an eye-catching classic motorcycle design.

Please note this is an unassembled plastic model kit requiring assembly; paints, cement and hobby tools are not included and are required to complete the model.

Yamaha's Virago established a distinctive American-inspired styling language while retaining its own unmistakable identity. Tamiya's detailed kit reproduces the finely cooled V-Twin engine along with the chrome-heavy components that give the motorcycle its luxurious appearance, while the unusual tire combination adds further realism to the completed model.
