Motorcycle Model Kits

Touring Motorcycle Model Kits

If you are a fan of modern or vintage motorcycle model kits, you will love the selection of cruising motorcycle models available. These kits capture the essence of classic and modern touring bikes, offering a rewarding experience for collectors and model-building enthusiasts.

One excellent example is the Honda Monkey 125. This 1:12 Tamiya motorcycle model kit scale replicates the new-generation Honda Monkey 125, a bike that traces its roots back to 1967. Known for its compact frame, chunky tyres, and iconic rounded design, the Monkey 125 continues to charm riders worldwide. The model includes metal-plated parts for added realism, as well as clear parts, damper springs, and vinyl tubing for intricate detailing.

The engine, swing arm, and front fork are secured with screws to enhance durability and provide a satisfying assembly experience. Another fantastic option is the Honda Dax125 Limited Edition. Originally introduced in 1969 and reborn in 2022, the Dax125 carries its iconic T-bone frame and 123cc engine with a 4-speed clutchless transmission. This limited edition release features a striking metallic blue frame and exclusive decals.

The 1/12 scale motorcycle model kit showcases metal-plated parts, a detailed single-cylinder engine, and realistic rubber tyres. It even allows builders to choose between the standard or limited edition version, providing customisation options for enthusiasts who want to recreate different versions of the bike. For those who appreciate the classic American chopper style, the Yamaha XV1000 Virago is a standout model.

This vintage motorcycle model kit is inspired by the long-road cruising culture of the 1960s and 1970s; the Virago features an extended wheelbase, swept-back handlebars, and a low, sofa-like seat for relaxed riding. The model faithfully captures the gleaming chrome, gold-plated accents, and signature chopper styling that made this bike a favourite among American motorcycle enthusiasts. 

Race Motorbike Model Kits

For those who admire high-speed performance and championship-winning machines, race motorbike model kits offer a chance to build some of the most legendary racing bikes in history. One of the most iconic race bikes is the Suzuki RG 500 XR27. Developed in the 1970s, this 500cc two-stroke machine dominated the world championships, securing multiple constructor titles for Suzuki.

The bike’s power and reliability made it a favourite among private racers and professional teams alike. The model kit captures the fine details of the RG 500, from the distinctive fairings to the compact yet powerful four-cylinder engine. A selection of authentic colour schemes, including classic Suzuki racing blue and white, ensures an accurate recreation of this historic machine.

Another impressive race motorcycle model kit is the Repsol Honda RC213V. This model replicates the modern 2014 MotoGP championship-winning bike ridden by Marc Marquez. With 13 wins out of 18 races, including a record-breaking 10 consecutive victories, the RC213V was a true force on the track.

The 1/12 scale motorcycle model kit features a detailed V4 engine, seamless transmission, and aerodynamic fairings. The removable cowlings allow a closer look at the bike’s intricate mechanical components, and the realistic rubber tyres come with accurate sponsor decals. With its precise engineering and authentic livery, this model is a must-have for MotoGP fans.

Dirt Bike Model Kits

Not everybody prefers on-road driving. Dirt bike model kits provide an exciting way to recreate off-road adventure motorcycles, perfect for those who love rugged terrain and long-distance endurance racing. One standout model is the BMW R80 G/S 1000 Paris Dakar 1985. Designed for the gruelling Paris-Dakar rally, this special edition of BMW’s renowned R80 G/S was modified with reinforced suspension, high-performance off-road tyres, and a massive 32-litre fuel tank for long desert rides.

The motorbike model kit captures these rugged features with precision, from the iconic BMW Motorsport livery to the durable frame and protective crash bars. You’ll appreciate the authentic detailing that brings this legendary rally bike to life. Another impressive dirt bike model kit is the Yamaha TNR 660CC. Like the BMW R80, the TNR is an icon of off-road racing. With its chromed parts, unique colour schemes, and rubber tyres, this dirt bike model kit will fascinate you with how realistically it represents the real-life bike.

Military Motorbike Model Kits

Finally, you won’t only find civilian motorbike kits, but military motorcycle model kits, too. These kits capture the rugged design and historical significance of motorcycles used by armed forces in various conflicts. Many of these vintage motorcycle model kits represent dispatch and reconnaissance bikes that played critical roles in communication and mobility on the battlefield. 

One such example is the 3Triumph 3HW motorbike. At the start of WWII, Great Britain urgently needed technical equipment, leading to the conversion of civilian motorcycles for military use. Dispatch Riders (DRs) relied on these bikes for communication between units. The Triumph 3HW was based on the civilian Tiger 80 and featured an overhead valve engine and parallel forks. This Triumph motorcycle model kit is a faithful recreation of the original model, coming at an impressive 1:9 scale and with detailed parts and colour schemes. 

Another iconic model you may like is Tamiya’s KS600 Motorcycle & Sidecar. Perhaps the most famous 600cc-class bike used by the German military in WWII, the KS600 featured a 28hp horizontally opposed engine with shaft drive. When equipped with a sidecar, it could reach speeds of up to 96 km/h and had a range of 300 km with its 15-litre fuel tank. 

These vintage motorcycle model kits are a great opportunity to recreate these historically significant vehicles with incredible detail, from their robust frames to the soldiers who rode them. Whether you’re passionate about military history or simply enjoy intricate model building, these kits make a compelling addition to any collection.
