Description
The Yamaha YZ65 packs full‑size racing DNA into a youth‑sized package, engineered for aspiring mini‑motocross champions. Its 65 cc liquid‑cooled two‑stroke single with reed‑valve induction boasts the race‑derived technologies of Yamaha’s big‑bike lineup — including the legendary YPVS® power‑valve system to give crisp low‑end punch plus free‑revving top‑end surge.
Chassis and ergonomics are highly tuned for young athletes: a lightweight steel cradle frame, aluminium removable sub‑frame and adjustable rider controls let the YZ65 adapt as your rider progresses. The KYB® fully‑adjustable 36 mm inverted fork up front and link‑less rear shock deliver real race suspension performance in a compact level—designed to soak up whoops, jumps, and technical laps.
With a 6‑speed gearbox and race‑style clutch, the YZ65 delivers real shifting experience that teaches control and skill—plus durable components and styling straight from Yamaha’s pro machines. At approx. 61 kg (134 lbs) wet, with a seat height of just 755 mm (29.7 in), it’s reachable, accessible and ready for young riders stepping into competitive motocross.
Whether it’s your child’s first gate drop or a young racer’s season weapon, the YZ65 delivers serious performance, tunability and thrill in a size built for youth. If you’re serious about racing from the start, this is the bike that sets the pace—not just fits in.
