85cc Dirt Bike SHOOTOUT, Yamaha YZ 85 vs Suzuki RM 85 vs Kawasaki KX 85 | YZ85, RM85, KX85

Get your kids riding without breaking the bank! We had a Suzuki RM 85, Kawasaki kX 85 and a Yamaha YZ 85 in this video to show that 3 kids of different ages and body sizes were able to hop on and enjoy all of the bikes that we had to test. These bikes were all bought used and two of them needed a ton of work so it shows that it can be done and reasonably priced!

[@420PeterGriffin]

To be honest, those RM85’s are really the best considering that the average adult can still get on them and still go extremely fast, and the younger kids can hop on and have a blast as well and go even faster depending on the power to weight ratio.

[@avz46]

The RM is the only one to use an exhaust power valve which means it should have the longest power curve and torque which means less clutching to get the power.

[@Wooskii1]

I thought the KX also had a power valve. But yeah, I really wanted a RM 85/ 100 for my own 6 foot tall behind to play with, but it seems like the other three are more popular or sold more often. I think I'm about to get a KX 100. Should I wait for a RM 100 to pop up instead? Any suggestions?

[@420PeterGriffin]

@@Wooskii1 I’d just get the kx112 or wait for the new kx125 to come back

[@franksmith2887]

I guess the newer kx 85s do have a valve. Older ones didnt. For you bigger is better. You will have more fun on 100cc+

[@Wooskii1]

@@420PeterGriffin If the new 125 is a mini bike I will 100% get one, but I already have 2 full size bikes that I really like ('18 KTM 300 xcw and '04 450 exc, both w/ MC plates) The KX 112 is awesome, it's what led me down this path. They were just over $4K new at my local Kawi dealer when they first came out, now they're nearly $6K according to the website which is just too much for a play bike and not much cheaper used when they do pop up.

[@MaterToys]

Awesome. Nice you got the boys all together riding.

[@Ramons187]

Just found this. Grear job with lap times and rankings. Last year, we ran an 08 kx85 for local and ama racing. The old kx against the 2022s killed it and he loves it.

[@3SeasRecreation]

Love hearing about kids tearing it up on older bikes! Enjoy the ride, Jared

[@Davido50]

Ohio living! Very cool. 💯

[@eternaljaxton7795]

Man wish I was there because right now we are looking for a new bike and im thinking of a big bored yz85 and always wanted to ride one and see how it feels.

[@noahvarnhagen2762]

thats what im doin

[@BabyYoda-kr6rr]

Imo the RM85 is the best fastest but I’m kinda biased cuz I have one

[@reyesvisuals8533]

Quick pull on the rear brake lever and done. also, handlebars can be adjusted by losening the triple clamps.

I’ve had a ktm 85/105 small wheel 2008 a beautiful kx85 bigwheel 2003 that I miss so much and rn I got a 2003 big wheel rm85 that I’m doing a full rebuild on lol

[@3SeasRecreation]

Sounds like you have a sweet collection of 85cc bikes! Enjoy those things as they are all good bikes! Thanks for watching, Jared

[@Tizzypj]

@@3SeasRecreation hey Jared I only have the rm left due to unfortunate life situations I’ve had to sell the others but they are such amazing bikes l always be watching mate

[@athenainluxay]

This was extremely helpful because I’ve been trying to figure out between the three which to get and braxxton is the same height as me so that was extremely helpful height wise. Thank you!!!

Nice 👍

[@adamvals2849]

hi, what should i get? suzuki 2012 or yamaha 2005? im like 6 feet

[@apocx4290]

Shame you didn’t have a 2007 cr 85 as it would have wiped the floor with all of them. And even better still, I assume you left the KTM SX 85 out of it as it’s far better than those three bikes. Almost like a shootout for the 3 runner-up 85’s 😂 The CR/KTM’s are far better bikes than the RM, YZ and KX in every way

[@3SeasRecreation]

Interesting comment. If you took a second to look up our channel you would see that we have Husky 85's, GasGas 85's and GasGas 105s also featured. Keep in mind we are not a magazine and none of these bikes were free. I had to buy all of them. If I had free access to every bike they would of been included. Enjoy The Ride, Jared

[@apocx4290]

@@3SeasRecreation but I’m not watching the other videos am I? I’m watching this one. I understand you aren’t a sponsored with bikes ride channel. Again, no mention of SX or CR who also made bikes in the era these were the base for. Never mentioned gas gas or husky did i? (Even though they are a similar platform to the newer KTM’s, especially gas gas). Bit of an over-emotional, defensive reply mate to a bit of a tongue in cheek comment. I do appreciate the video and watching it clearly supports you. So chill out a bit fella.

[@ApocGuy]

@@apocx4290 you can have THE BEST bike, if you dont know how to ride it properly it wont matter much in the end. nearly everyone in my neck of the woods were laughing at me for choosing 125/250 over 300/450, but in the end i've managed to stay with them all the time despite having "inferior bike". I had LC4 and although it was good bike, fixing it was far more expensive than my current YZ 250 or XT600

[@mikeanthony8934]

Rm is the winner. I'd ride it

[@enzofn2717]

how would u make the brake come out more

[@zilaugili5838]

Really good video good job

Glad you enjoyed it! Appreciate you watching, Jared.

[@samdibsyd6183]

Hello from Sydney, gotta question, What’s more faster a Yz 85 or Kx 85, both year models 2021-22

[@pb_alpha663]

id say it depends on rider but there about the same but i believe the yz is quicker.

[@samdibsyd6183]

@@pb_alpha663 it’s definitely faster the yz 85

[@ogchezzzy7369]

Yea there not much between then speed different there petty much there the same but the yz a bit faster but not by much the kx is a great first race bike but it really it the rider skills to get the higher speed so it doesn’t really matter it’s all about the the rider

[@glenns2847]

yz 85 2002 model maybe for sure yz tho

[@ProperSkill]

The kx has no rebound settings in the forks. It sucks.

[@glades_boy7301]

Is that the RM85 or RM85L?

[@hardcandy8642]

Yz & rm 😍😍😍

[@TUXzere]

they don't need the ktm 85 because everybody already knows its the best

[@cyrus2423]

Where is the CR85

[@3SeasRecreation]

We looked and looked for a reasonably priced one but no luck!

[@jacksonfamilyjackzon9166]

Would a yz85 fit me I'm 5'6 I think

[@yaahooboy1473]

U could fit on a 125 prob

[@3SeasRecreation]

I agree, if you are looking to get into a 2-stroke bike I would recommend a 125 2-stroke. If it is your first bike an 85cc would work for a year but it wouldn't take long to outgrow it once you got the feel for riding. Thanks for watching!

[@smackmyaandcallmesuzanne7950]

Good video. Thought I’d let you know your mic is only working on one side. Watching video at work and only coming through one headphone. Haha👍🏼👍🏼

[@3SeasRecreation]

Good Morning! Yes last year was our "first real year" doing KZbin and we are still learning! Thanks for watching and Enjoy the Ride, Jared

[@brax0875]

how tall is brax?

[@3SeasRecreation]

Hey good morning! Braxxton is roughly 5 foot tall! Thanks, Jared

[@GregoryCroney]

Of course the kx won on the clock

[@echogaming5201]

I’m 5’5. 5’6 with boots on. I’ve literally never had ridden MX but I really want to start. I don’t want to spend over 6 grand. Which one would you recommend?

[@3SeasRecreation]

Good Morning! Thanks for watching our video! I would recommend starting with a 4-stroke air cooled bike to get comfortable with a clutch and bike controls. The good news is you wont spent anywhere near 6k on a good trail bike. Once you have that bike mastered I would look for something used. I think by watching this video you can see you won't go wrong with any of these options. They are all awesome bikes and each rider could turn just as good of a lap time on any of them. Thanks, Jared.

[@echogaming5201]

@@3SeasRecreation thank you for your feed back. I am going to end up getting a rm85 most likely

[@treyjam1764]

used rm 85 on facebook market place

[@merica6899]

If you didn’t already get a rm the big wheel yz 85 is right a 5k plus shipping and destination charge

[@harrypeterson9287]

@@3SeasRecreation Just my opinion, you're probably big enough to ride a 125 or 250F. I went straight from a Chinese 150 trail bike to a KX450, now I'm thinking about building a CR500AF. You'll outgrow an 85 in a year and need a new one, it's just a waste to get anything smaller than a 125.

[@iman80skid91]

Are these small wheel

[@3SeasRecreation]

Thanks for checking out our channel! Yep these were all small wheel models. Some of them offer a big wheel model or you can buy the wheels/ swing arms needed.

[@lucasscott4126]

Is that rm the small wheel or the L?

[@3SeasRecreation]

Good Morning, that RM is a standard small wheel 85. Thanks for watching, Jared

[@DoomSlayerE]

Which is the cheapest brand new?

[@3SeasRecreation]

Good Morning, I believe the cheapest new is the RM 85. I guess it would depend on your local dealer and what deals they are willing to make! Thanks, Jared
