4 of the Coolest Aoshima Motorcycle Models

Aoshima is a highly respected brand among model kit enthusiasts. The company got its start in 1923 as an airplane research institution. In 1929, the company used its aviation experience and knowledge to manufacture high-quality wooden models.

Since then, Aoshima has continued to expand its product line, offering a wide range of top-quality model kits for today’s passionate builders. The company is known for its exceptional attention to detail and rigid quality standards.

Here at Plaza Japan, we’re proud to offer a wide variety of awesome Aoshima motorcycle models for your collection. Here are four of our favorites to put on your wish list!

1. Aoshima Skynet 03920 YAMAHA YZF-R1 2016 YELLOW 1/12 Scale Finished Model

This brand new 2016 Yamaha YZF-R1 scale finished model is absolutely stunning. It’s a finished model, so no assembly is required – it’s ready for immediate display.

This gorgeous bike is an absolute favorite among today’s motorcycle enthusiasts. It represents all of Yamaha’s most exciting innovations, offering a huge range of cutting-edge features. With a top speed of a staggering 186 mph, this high-performance bike combines the best of supersports and streetfighter motorcycle designs.

We think this is one of the coolest Aoshima motorcycle models because – well, just look at it. The wasp yellow color with black and white accents ensures that this high-octane motorcycle has the looks to stand out from the rest of your collection. Meticulously crafted from tough diecast, you can count on this one to last for the long haul.

2. Aoshima Skynet 80764 Vespa P200E (1978/Red) 1/12 Scale Finished Model

This hot red 1978 Vespa P200E 1/12 scale finished model pops in a serious way. These collectible Aoshima motorcycle models pay tribute to the reinvention of the iconic Vespa scooter.

By the mid-1970s, Piaggio had perfected the basic Vespa design. In 1977, the company decided to completely redesign the Vespa in order to meet changing consumer tastes and tightened regulations, and also to utilize the latest available technologies.

With the P-Series, the “new generation of Vespas” was born. The series consisted of three models – the P125X, P150X, and P200E – with the only difference being the motor sizes. The frame had a brand new design, and to put it simply, everything was bigger and better.

We love these Aoshima motorcycle models because of their unique historical significance, not to mention their outstanding looks. The bright red color is sure to stand out on any shelf, and the attention to detail is remarkable. This finished model comes pre-assembled for quick and easy display.

3. Aoshima Skynet 03913 1934 INDIAN SPORT SCOUT 1/12 Scale Finished Model

This 1934 Indian Sport Scout finished model pays homage to early motorcycle history. Founded in 1901, Indian is America’s first motorcycle manufacturer, and the Scout is arguably the most iconic model. The 1934 Sport Scout model is often referred to as the first ever superbike. These Aoshima motorcycle models capture the classic design and details that made this bike so special.

he Sport Scout improved upon the original Standard Scout and Motoplane models by lightening the frame, adding girder forks and cylinder heads, and improving the carburation. In 1937, a specially-tuned Sport Scout won the first Daytona 200 (a world-famous motorcycle race).

This is one of the more collectible Aoshima motorcycle models because it really represents a special moment in time when the motorcycle was evolving into something brand new. The classic design and vintage colors makes you want to climb on and ride into the desert sunset. Carefully crafted from rugged diecast, you can count on this model to last for many years.

4. Aoshima Skynet 03937 Kawasaki KFX450R 1/12 Scale Finished Model

Okay, so this last one on our list isn’t technically a motorcycle, but we just had to include it. That screaming lime green color commands attention, and who are we to deny it?

The Kawasaki KFX450R is truly a beast of a machine. Whether you’re blazing down a race track or barreling down an off-road trail, this quad packs the features that pro ATV riders demand. It’s known for its precision handling and lightweight construction, making it a favorite among top ATV riders to this day

This is one of our favorite Aoshima motorcycle models simply because it looks incredible. If your collection could use a little color, this one will definitely add an impressive touch of neon. Like other Aoshima products, you can count on this pre-assembled model to provide outstanding details worthy of display at home or in a museum. It’s also made from durable, long-lasting diecast.
