Yamaha YZ description
2005 YAMAHA YZ85, Great fun for not a lot of money. This older YZ85 looks and runs good for an 8 year old 2 stroker.
Play For Keeps
Welcome to the jungle. It's not easy making the transition to adulthood, but at least things can be crystal clear in one area of life.
When you ask the YZ85's reed-valve-inducted six-speed engine for power, you learn very quickly the difference between it and whatever you rode before. This liquid-cooled six-speed screamer inhales through a 28mm Keihin PWK flat-slide carburetor and the heavy-duty clutch produces hard launches and positive shifts.
And when you begin exploring the capabilities of its adjustable, long-travel suspension, you'll start to comprehend how your Supercross heroes pull off those poster moves. The inverted Kayaba fork dishes out 10.8" travel and you've got 11.3" out back.
This is the real YZ deal, and if you're lucky it might teach you that the best things in life don't come easy. Excellence requires dedication, many hours, and a few thousand other intangibles.
If you're ready to go there, we're ready with the 85 that can take you to the front of the pack, whether the game is motocross or life.
