YZ80 vs YZ85?

Question

Which bike has more power, and which bike is faster. And which one will be better for me im spending $2300 im 12years old and 5ft

Answer 1

the yz 85 is more powerful and faster but if you were to get a bike i would get a honda because they are they best bikes to buy for your money

Answer 2

Bigger engine/same engine technology=more power. The yz 85 is more powerful, and I would say the seat might be a little bit too high if you are 5 ft tall. Weight will not be an issue on either of these unless your incredibly overweight. I would say yz 80. If you are buying used then really check the bike over well, and take it for a ride. If something doesnt seem right, just walk away, dont even consider it. These are racing/Mx bikes. they get abused. Ok thats it good luck with your new bike!

Answer 3

more important than age and height is weight. Make sure whatever bike you have has adjustable suspension so it will grow with you. When I was your age I was riding full size bikes and it was very important to be able to dial the suspension as much as possible so it was a smoother ride. Just find a bike that fits you, you want to be able to get a toe on the ground with one foot, no more than that. I bet you will grow a foot in the next 2 years and unless you have a lot of money you mine as well buy a bike to grow into ;)
