Welcome to the Victory Zone

2018 sees the launch of the all-new YZ65, one of the most exciting and technologically advanced youth race bikes seen for many years. Featuring an all-new engine and chassis, and benefitting from YZ450F-inspired styling, the 2018 YZ65 reaffirms Yamaha's total commitment to the youth motocross scene - the starting point for future champions.  

Yamaha now provides an ideal step up from the company's PW50, the YZ65 opens up the wonderful world of motorcycling to younger riders and their families, and gives tomorrow's champions the ideal introduction to motocross. By starting out with some of the best equipment, YZ65 riders will be able to achieve their real potential on the racetrack - and due to the availability of further YZ motorcycles, and Yamaha's bLU cRU rider support programme, riders can kick start their careers and progress through the ranks to reach the pinnacle of motocross racing.  

With the arrival of the YZ65, everyone can start out like a Pro rider.

Smooth, Powerful and Easy to Use 65cc Engine

The new YZ65 is driven by a newly designed 65cc 2-stroke liquid-cooled powerplant that benefits from a race-developed crankcase reed valve system, ensuring an excellent and instant throttle response across the entire powerband, as well as a Digital CDI system that delivers a precise spark and helps monitor engine speed.
