– 2002 Yamaha YZ85 Review

2002 Yamaha YZ85

The all-new 2002 YZ85. It’s where all great success stories begin …

Leadership is something we take very seriously. In fact, you could call it our birthright. That’s why we’re firm believers that you’re never too young to start winning.

And there ’s no better way to do it than aboard the all-new-for-2002 YZ85.

An all-new, super-rigid frame and adjustable, YZ250/125 spec front and rear suspension for razor-sharp handling with minimal frame flex.

And completely redesigned bodywork that allows a rider maximum freedom of movement and weight transfer.
