Rider Profile

Best For	This is a competition-focused youth motocross bike best suited to developing riders already comfortable with clutch control and standing on pegs, not beginners on their first bike.
Purpose	Built purely for motocross track and off-road racing, with a small two-stroke engine and race-tuned suspension rather than any road-going intent.
Rider Fit	The very low 71 kg weight and compact dimensions make it ideal for lighter, smaller-statured junior riders rather than full-sized adults.
Character	It's a peppy, high-revving two-stroke that rewards aggressive throttle and clutch use with sharp, flickable handling on rough terrain.
Not Ideal For	This bike is not suitable for road use, touring, commuting, or carrying a passenger, and it lacks the size and power for taller or heavier adult riders.

Inseam (optional)

Units

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 864mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with tip-toe one foot on the 2009 Yamaha YZ85 LW, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 degrees and an upright riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
