Yamaha SR400/500 1JR/1JN '96

Celebrate one of Yamaha's most enduring motorcycles with the Aoshima 1/12 Yamaha 1JR SR400 / 1JN SR500 '96. Introduced in 1996, the SR400 and SR500 continued the legacy of Yamaha's iconic air-cooled single-cylinder roadsters, combining timeless styling with dependable engineering. Known for their minimalist design, kick-start operation, and unmistakable "thumper" engine character, the SR series has remained a favourite among classic motorcycle enthusiasts and custom builders for decades. This 1/12 scale model faithfully recreates the 1996 models, capturing their distinctive engine, classic bodywork, and vintage-inspired details.

Part of Aoshima's The Bike Series, this highly detailed plastic model can be built as either the Yamaha SR400 or SR500, finished in your choice of the factory Glittering Black or Silver colour schemes. The kit features accurately reproduced engine and chassis components, including the characteristic front drum brake, while metal screws are used for the steering stem and axles to improve strength and ease of assembly. Vinyl tubing is included to replicate the throttle cables and brake hoses, and metal springs are used in the rear suspension for added realism. Paint and cement are required for assembly, making this an excellent project for motorcycle enthusiasts and scale model builders alike.
