2009 Yamaha YZ85 User Ratings

The smallest member born of the YZ motocross family is every bit as serious a race tool as its bigger brothers. The YZ 85 features a liquid-cooled, 84.7cc crankcase reed-valve-induced six-speed that is compact and light. You also get an ultra-rigid, single backbone, semi-double-cradle frame, long-travel Kayaba inverted fork and link-type shock, a heavy-duty clutch, strong disc brakes front and rear, and removable rear subframe for easier maintenance and fully adjustable suspension. The 85cc class is an important stepping-stone between Pee Wee racing and full-size bikes that practically racing star today had to first prove himself.
