2008 Yamaha PW80 (2-Stroke)

Big fun for small riders.

The peppy PW80 delivers big time excitement to young riders. It’s got a proven 79cc 2-stroke engine, and a removable exhaust restrictor that allows parents to increase the bike’s power output as young riders gain confidence and skill.

Next stop: Supercross Champ – 79cc of Yamaha two-stroke power sounds just like Chad Reed’s bike if you have a kid’s imagination, and the PW80 with its three speed automatic transmission dishes out the kind of power a kid can use.

The PW80 is a spunky, reliable bike that’s perfect for young riders who are looking for a more muscular mount.

Powered by a 79cc 2-stroke engine with an easy-shifting 3-speed transmission featuring automatic clutch and electronic ignition, this bike is just right for the rookie dirt demon in your family. A removable, power-limiting exhaust restrictor allows parents or adult supervisors to increase power output as a rider’s skill level improves. The automatic clutch emphasizes the basics of riding not shifting. The 25” seat height makes for a low centre of gravity and easy handling. The lightest bike in its class – and available in Team Yamaha blue and white – this puppy will have your little ones feeling like they’re runnin’ with the big dogs.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Adult supervision and proper protective riding gear, including a helmet, are a must when a youngster is operating a PW80.
