Yamaha R1 Custom
Hi,
this is my Tamiya Yamaha R1 (1:12) with some modifications: the upper front body with the 2 lights is lowered, a spoiler chin at the lower body panel added. Steering bar is made of a metal rod, the bike is just for the driver (no passenger), the rear of the seat bench is custom made.   Micha Last edited by sportracer02; 11-22-2007 at 04:34 PM.

First time ever I see someone mod a bike like that, finally. I told my friend he should do something streetfightish with his R1. I´m not sure about the lowered nosecone but the rest of the bike and the paint looks absolutley flawless, good job.

Re: Yamaha R1 Custom
Micha!
I love the work you've done on rims and tires, tires have a beautiful worn look. Interesting wok over all and as Fredrik sais one of the most tuned bikes I've seen. I think the muffler reaches too far back and I'm not too fond of the yellow engine block though...but cool of you to try something new. best regards Joel - who's also working on a tuned R1, get back to you on that one

Re: Yamaha R1 Custom
Color combo is great, and the exhaust look stunning, but I'm not feeling the bodywork. Looks a bit overdone to me. Anyways, good job.

Hi,
@ joelwideqvist yes, concerning the muffler you are right. If I did this model today, it would be shorter or under the bench. Concerning the colour of the engine: I was inspired be some streetfighter magazines. @ all: thanks for your replies !! Micha

ok, I'll be the first one to say it. It doesn't look right. With only the lower body panel the bike looks incomplete, the yellow engine looks like a toy, the exhaust looks out of scale and the nosecone looks like it's falling off. Just my two cents.
