Item No. 14135

Description

This model kit recreates a customized version of the Yamaha XV1600 Road Star. The standard kit is available as item 14080. The XV1600 Road Star featured a 1,600cc V-twin that made it one of the most powerful motorcycles of its day, with telescopic front suspension and a rear shock tucked out of sight for a classic hard tail look to accentuate the low-slung lines, and liberal use of chrome. Customized bikes had side bags, a larger windscreen, and many more variations.
