Yamaha YZ80 Motocross Bike Reviews on Cycle Insider (11)
Avg. Rating

About a month ago my dad got me a yz80 and it was love at first sight. I went to the dunes and my first lap I hit the power band in first and that front end went right up. Now I'm ripping it up. If you're going to buy a bike, buy a yz.

I love this bike. It is wicked fast. It jumps nice and has good brakes. I would take this bike over anything.

This is my first bike. Though many people say not to learn on a two stroke, I went and bought one and I did. I had never even ridden a two stroke before. Luckily, I had someone to help me out so it went pretty smooth. It took me a while to learn how to start out but within a few minutes I got the hang of it. This bike is a great bike. It is so fast that I was afraid to take it out of second gear the first time I rode it. The powerband is amazing. Every time it hits the powerband, I find my whole body shifting towards the back of the seat. The comfort is great; I had absolutely no fatigue. It is also a very reliable bike. It starts about 1st or second kick every time. The YZ 80 is a great bike for a person coming off of a TTR or any smaller four stroke. I would recommend it as a second bike. I love my YZ 80!

Wow, what a bike. It's been a while since I've rode a 2 stroke. The last was around a 96 YZ125. I wasn't so impressed with its power. I bought this for my son and the first time the powerband came in, I was like WOW! This thing spins the tire thru 4th gear easy and is just a pull like I can't explain. For my size with performance like that, it is saying something for this little bike. Hats off to Yamaha! This bike is a rocket!

I have a 2001 yz80 and I love it. It's so fast and it's insane on the tracks. I ride trails and tracks and I have fun all the time. Racing or trail riding, this bike is it.

My Dad just got me this bike and I love it! When I tried it out at the seller's house I was in first gear and when I hit the powerband the front wheel came right off the ground! Also my bike is totally stock! Hands down RIPPER!

I just got a yz85 and it is fast and powerful. IT is a very smooth ride. And it will smoke any other bike in its class. I havent had a problem with it yet. so Im verry happy with it

I have to say I had a Kx80 but the I started raceing about 3 years and my 2001 YZ80 flys. So I sold my KX my YZ seemed to be faster...

i didn't ride the 2001 yz80 but i did ride the 1975 yz80 and it rips, very fast bike and good for any serious young motocrosser

At the end of 2001 I bought a 2001 YZ80 and it has remained stock except Renthal bars and I win every 80 pro race on it.
