The yz will pick up off the start line quicker than the crf but the 150 is a smoother ride so what advantage the yz85 may gain in straights the crf150 can counter in cornering. In some countries they race against each other and the last national race I attended the podium was full of crf150's. Although in saying that the riders that won would have done so on the yz85 regardless. So a good rider can win on either as both bikes have their good points and bad. In the USA they don't race one another. The crf150r is easier to ride where the yz85 takes a good technical rider to ride it well. The yz has a lot of top end power.
Your a little to small for those get a CRF150R
Well, when it comes to speed, it's not just about the size of the engine, it's also about how the bike is designed and how it feels to you. Both the CRF150R and YZ85 are great bikes with their own unique strengths. Remember, the most important thing is to enjoy the ride and have fun exploring the great outdoors!
Obviously yz125 is more faster than yz85.
a kx85 is faster than the yz85 but the fastest is the cr85 but the rider is what makes it faster or slower
I can get top speed with a Cr85 118 km/h and 104 with a crf150r with GPS
Crf150r is faster with a top speed around 72mph, vs. 55-60mph for the kx100, depending on rider weight/etc.
The yz would always win because its a 2 stroke race bike. Even the yz85 would beat the crf150r or the crf150f.
faster than you want to go !
yz 85
the yz85 is faster because it has so much top end and no power valves and the kx does. in a race a yz would win but it is 10% bike / 90% rider
i have both and i am quite sure the 85 is a bit faster not by much though
They are comparable in speed although the cr85 will jump from the line better than the crf150r. The ability to have a smoother ride makes the crf150r faster in and out of corners, but really in a race either could come out on top depending upon bike set up, rider ability and conditions.
