Detail-focused Tamiya 1/12 Suzuki RGV XR89 kit overview

This kit recreates the Suzuki RGV XR89 at 1/12 scale with care toward historical detail. It marks the 1999 World Road Race Championships era and evokes the bike ridden by Kenny Roberts, Jr. Builders will find an authentic miniature that highlights the engineering and styling that mattered in that season.

Racing heritage and inspiration

The 1999 500cc World Road Race season saw intense rivalry and technical progress. Suzuki's XR89, with its V-type 4-cylinder and aluminium twin-tube frame, stood out as a purposeful race machine. The model reflects the machine that secured memorable results for Kenny Roberts, Jr., including key wins that season.

Model build appeal and presentation

Tamiya's approach gives modellers finely rendered engine parts, frame lines and chassis detail. The build rewards careful assembly and painting, and the finished model makes an attractive shelf display for racing enthusiasts and collectors who appreciate accurate replica work.

Specifications

The kit has many small parts and detailed engine pieces, so it suits builders with some modelling experience rather than complete beginners. Allow time for careful painting and fitting.
Use hobby model paints for plastic, fine brushes or an airbrush for smooth finishes, plus hobby knives, sanding sticks and plastic cement. Reference photos help match race liveries.
Yes. At 1/12 scale the model pairs well with other bikes in the same scale and fits standard display bases or dioramas that showcase period race scenes.
