The Yamaha YZ85 is the best dirt bike for teenagers looking to get into motocross. But the YZ85 is far from being a toy: it's an 85cc single-cylinder bike that's ready to race. It sports a rigid and light chassis making the bike very manageable and well-balanced, with increased handling thanks to the fully-adjustable suspension.
Despite its diminutive displacement, the YZ85 comes with a 6-speed gearbox and smooth shifting thanks to a clutch that has been designed to comply with the racing rigors.
The YZ85 comes with wide foot pegs,radiator shrouds and side panels for handy leverage on a variety of surfaces and fast cornering. The two-piece clutch cover and special-design airbox allow easy maintenance and the water pump impeller is now made of cast aluminium (vs. resin).
