Tamiya Motorcycle Series: Suzuki GSX 1100S Katana (Plastic Model Kit) [Fujimi]

Japanese Original Edition, Plastic Model Kit

The Suzuki GSX 1100S Katana from Tamiya’s Motorcycle Series is a plastic model kit that brings to life one of the most revolutionary motorcycles of its time. Unveiled at the 1980 Cologne Show and released to the public in 1981, the Katana’s bold and futuristic design, created by German designer Hans Muth, made an immediate impact. This model captures the aggressive front cowl, which remains detachable even after assembly, allowing for an interactive display.

Built for precision and realism, the kit features a chrome-plated metal front fork with an internal coil spring, ensuring smooth movement. The air-cooled DOHC inline-four engine is carefully reproduced with chrome-plated parts, including finely detailed carburetors, enhancing its mechanical appeal. The die-cast side stand is durable and includes a functional return spring, adding to its authenticity. The star-shaped cast wheels are molded as a single sharp-edged piece, maintaining the Katana’s signature style. This kit is a must-have for collectors and motorcycle enthusiasts who appreciate both innovative design and detailed craftsmanship.
