This model kit recreates the Honda Dax125 Tamiya Limited Edition in 1/12 scale! (The first-generation Dax in 1969 was recreated by Item 16002.) Following on from the popular Monkey (Z-series) bikes, the Honda minibike Dax was announced in 1969. The Dax had a distinctive T-bone frame crafted in pressed steel which housed the fuel tank, and centrifugal clutch engine. It was designed to be ridden by anyone, anywhere, and its charming, distinctive form was loved all around the world. Although its Japanese sales finished in 1981, the Dax returned in 1995 with a similar design to the original. In 2022, Honda announced the Dax125 which inherits the established Dax identity, incorporating elements such as the T-bone frame, a long bench seat, a chrome upswept muffler and more. It can be ridden both on city streets and the open road. Owners can choose between the rich tone of pearl nebula red and understated yet elegant pearl cadet gray for the body.
The full-size Dax125 which our model recreates has a limited edition: the Dax 125 Tamiya Limited Edition - the idea of official Honda dealer Cub House in Thailand - which was announced at the 2023 Bangkok International Motor Show. It employs a sumptuous metallic blue body adorned with Tamiya twin star logos plus some checkered flag motifs to get the pulse racing. With dedicated stickers for the muffler heat guard and wheel rims, this version features a horn cover with Dachshund emblem, dedicated serial number for each of these limited-edition bikes, and dedicated helmet with Tamiya logo. It certainly fascinated motorcycle fans - whether that be full size or in miniature scale across the globe.
