RUNS GOOD 2 STROKE
Serious Fun
Make no mistake; the YZ85 is every bit as serious a competition machine as its bigger-bore brethren.
From the knobs on its Dunlops, through the fully adjustable front and rear Kayaba suspenders, right through its ultra-rigid twin-spar high-tensile steel frame and clear into where the flat seat/tank junction meets the seat of your pants-the YZ85 means serious business.
You've got 85cc of high-revving liquid-cooled muscle multiplying through a six-speed gearbox , powering a package that weighs a mere 146 pounds.
The inverted Kayaba fork dishes out nearly 11 in. of supple, well-controlled wheel travel, you've got 11.1 in. out back. And, the light and powerful 220mm front and 190mm rear disc brakes provide controllable stopping power and feel.
Do the math. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure out you're sitting on one.
