Answer 1

Either would work for you. The best thing to do would be to go check them out at your local dealership. Sit on them. Let the salesman know you are debating between the two and would like more specific information on each one. Be sure not to get "swayed" by their sales pitches though. Sift throught what YOU want instead of what the SALESMAN wants. Each one wants your money. Bottomline. Nothing wrong with that but you will be talking to two different competitors (Kaw and Yam). Don't rule out what Honda and Suzuki have to offer. A good source of offroad products is OFFROAD magazine. They also have a website you can visit. They have good articles that will get you up to speed on the current offroad machines on the market today. Price will be an important factor of course. But more important is where you will go to get parts and service. If you have to travel a far distance, it may be worth it to pay a bit more to buy locally.  Good luck on your choice.

Answer 2

Do you have long legs?

The Yamaha YZ 85 looks a bit tall, but then it's just a 85.

says the seat is 34" off the ground. You have a 34" inseam? No? Well, howsbout 34 inches from up there to the floor? If you have to stand on your tippytoes to straddle a bar 34 inches off the ground you'll probably fall off this thing. The seat is wider than that bar so that makes it even harder.

The KX 100 seat is 34.3" off the ground. 'bout the same.

Answer 3

If i was you get a YZ85 Big wheel or a KX100 which ever color you like better because the YZ85 are rated as the fastest 85s
