Purpose	Built purely for motocross and off-road training, this machine excels at teaching technique on dirt tracks and trails rather than any road use.
Rider Fit	Its tiny 60.8 kg weight and low 749 mm seat height make it suitable only for small, lightweight riders, typically children transitioning from smaller minibikes.
Character	The two-stroke 65cc engine delivers a peppy, responsive powerband that rewards active riding and helps young riders learn throttle control and body positioning.
Not Ideal For	This bike is not suitable for adult riders, road use, touring, or carrying passengers of any kind.

Feet:

At 749mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2020 Yamaha YZ 65, with a cramped knee angle of around 65 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.
