2020 Yamaha YZ65 review, YZ review

Best Overall Dirt Bike For (7-10) Year Old’s  

Age (7-10yrs)

The Yamaha YZ65 2020 has very exciting highlights. It provides excellent torque characteristics with just the right manageable power. It has smaller wheels and is lighter in weight compared to the previous YZ85 model. This feature enables even the smallest of riders to do so in confidence. 

This dirt bike was designed for the mini motor racer who wants to win. Inspired by the Yamaha YZ45OF, this new bike is the perfect starter pack for any serious motor racer. The all-new, high-tech, 2-stroke engine provides stable bike handling and boosts the riders’ confidence.

Engineers designed this bike for kids who can step between 50ccs and 85cc bikes. This was done so that the small wheels, miniature frame, and overall lightweight would allow kids to ride faster and with more confidence.  

Yamaha won the title first World MX Championship way before most riders were born. It, therefore, builds dirt bikes for everyone, kids, and pros alike. The YZ65 takes from Yamaha’s decades of leading track performance and durability.

An adjustable front and rear suspension, YZ450F-inspired design, and tapered handlebar are amongst the few trickle-down benefits of this tiny YZ model
