This Tamiya 1/12 scale plastic model kit recreates the revolutionary 1984 Honda NSR500, a Grand Prix racing motorcycle that marked Honda’s transition from the NS500 V3 to a more powerful V4 engine layout. The NSR500 featured a radical design with its aluminum frame, expansion chambers above the engine, and fuel tank positioned below—a configuration that helped define Honda’s racing legacy for nearly two decades.

Tamiya’s precision kit captures the aggressive styling and mechanical innovation of the NSR500 with multi-piece engine detail, realistic frame and suspension components, and authentic decals to replicate race markings. With a finished length of 166mm, this model is ideal for motorcycle enthusiasts and fans of vintage GP racing.
