Overview

Making a sensational debut at the 1980 Cologne Motor Show, the Suzuki GSX1100S Katana’s radical and futuristic styling shocked the motorcycle world. Penned by the German Target Design house, its sharp, aggressive lines were a complete departure from the designs of the era. This was backed up by the powerful performance of its 1100cc air-cooled engine, cementing the Katana’s status as an instant and enduring icon of 1980s motorcycling.

This 1/12 scale kit from Tamiya accurately captures the legendary form of the GSX1100S Katana in stunning detail. The model features a precisely reproduced air-cooled 4-cylinder DOHC engine, complete with delicate cooling fins, a front-mounted oil cooler, and a faithfully recreated exhaust system. Custom parts like the distinctive front and rear brake assemblies are realistically reproduced to help capture the everlasting presence of the Katana.
