I've been riding for 11 years and I have never had a better bike. This bike is extremely fast, powerband is great. If you are planning on racing it, it's best to get a little practice on it because the powerband hits hard and you don't want to be laying on your back right of the start. This bike can outrun any other 85 out there. It's a great woods bike if you know how to ride also.

This bike rocks, it is the best. I ride trails and motocross and I will probably start racing it soon. I smash my mates' bikes and I even beat an older Suzuki PE 250.

this is the best bike i have ever owned. it is wicked fast and when you hit the powerband it is so flippin fast. it has a good amount of low end and it kills on the track. it is actually a 2003. i mostly ride at the thomaston dam and you need a skid plate. the best one to get is works connection. i got a pro circut and it is loud you also want to get a twin air filter. i used to have a jr80 2002 i am trying to sell on bargainnews for 1050 obo. that bike is fast and its unpredictible on the trails but it is totaly different. i was going to get a ttr 125 but i am so glad i didn't. and now i am starting to ride on the track and the suspention would be killed. it does have a lot of tourqe. you want to buy a bike WITH A CLUTCH before you get this to get used to it. this is a fun bike.

This bike is insane. I bought it when I was 14 and I am now 16 and probably going to get a YZ250F. But, this bike has been awesome to me, the suspension is incredible, the power is awesome (with a few little tweaks), it's comfortable, affordable and amazing. It's great for any smaller person just starting out racing or even riding. If you are going to buy this bike I suggest you race it rather than just putt around in a field because this thing has power and the faster you ride it the better it performs! It's great off of big hits like 60-80 foot gaps. It's light and easy to whip around in the air. This is a great bike!

The YZ85, a nice bike. Very fast and pulls to the top. It has a nice bottom end and great torque. I can almost always pull the holeshot in 2nd gear. The clutch is okay, but I am running a hinson.

It's fast in corners and great up hills. It is also a very light bike, in the air I feel I can flick this thing around like a PW80. Overall, this is a winner.
