[Product Introduction]
TAMIYA 1/12 Motorcycle Series No.121 Honda NSR500’84. 1/12 An indispensable machine for the GP racer lineup! A historic machine that took on the challenge of a new era. A unique body layout. A complete reproduction of the first-generation NSR500! In 1983, Honda introduced the 2-stroke V-type 3-cylinder NS500, the first low-speed model since 1967. Although it won the Daw Racing World Championship title, it was clear that the three-cylinder engine was no longer powerful enough. Therefore, the NSR was introduced the following year, equipped with a single-crank V-type 4-cylinder engine. The V4 engine was mounted on an aluminum frame, which later evolved into a twin spar frame, and an ambitious structure was adopted, with the chamber placed above the engine and the fuel tank placed below, making it an upside-down layout. A unique machine that embodies Honda's challenging spirit is finally available in the 1/12 motorcycle series.
