Start them off right and they’ll be set for life. That’s where Yamaha’s YZ85
comes in with its superior chassis design, explosively powerful engine and
awesome lightweight handling.
These aggressive and quick turning machines pack a liquid cooled
85cc crankcase reed-valve inducted six speed powerplant. This light and
compact screamer is mated to an agile high tensile steel chassis available in
two different wheel sizes so you can fine tune the bike to your own mini James
Stewart.
The YZ85s are the perfect platforms to introduce young guns into the
character building world of MX racing. And they continue to dominate in junior
racing circles at both state and national level.
