I bought a 2003 YZ 85 and it rips!!! The power band is extremely strong and sometimes it can be a little too strong, ha ha. But otherwise I love it. An YZ 85 is definitely the better buy over a stupid 150 4 stroke racing bike. Yamaha for life!!!... read more

This thing flies!! I race a 2008 crf150r and I thought that had a lot of snap after carb adjustments but I got this 2 days ago and...I can't believe it! It starts 1st kick cold!! yz85s are just as fast stock. I almost flipped off the seat coming off a corner. I have drove 250 and 125 2 strokes that are all bored out and I still think this could beat it out of the hole! This will beat any 85 out there, and if you know how to ride a bike like I do you will be amazed and smoke anyone out.

This is my second dirt bike. It is very fast and is an awesome bike. I would recommend this more than Honda, Suzuki, Kawasaki or any others... I wouldn't recommend this bike for beginners because it is clutch and quick.... read more

A great bike for an amateure rider. A big step up from a stock 60 or 65. One of the best things about this bike is the suspension, but the seat is too hard. You could come off a triple and case it pretty hard and you would only feel it a little bit.... read more

This bike is great. I just started racing this year and I am already in the head of the pack with the YZ85. This bike is fast! I have gotten close to getting a holeshot with this thing and I just started. You beginners have got to be careful and don't get too cocky because you'll regret it!... read more
