Was looking thru your old videos and I found the one that got me into your channel. You guys have improved alot in the last 2 years.(it might help that Charlie doesn't have such a high voice anymore)
The yz80 is not only gapping all the new 85s I got a 95 with almost 100 hours on it still starts first kick runs like a scalded dog. Going to rebuild over the winter but she doesnt need it lol just always been one to replace before they wreak havoc. You wont catch me one something made after 2010 ever.
I’ve heard you mention a couple of times that the YZ only has five gears. I’m pretty sure that they all had the same amount of gears as all the other bikes. 6 speed, transmission gearbox. Still enjoy watching your clips.
honestly i was raised to hate Hondas, and i don't hate them, but i'm a yamaha boy. To me, it goes Yamaha, Kawasaki, Honda, then Suzuki (in order of best to worst) idk it's just something about the Yamaha that i love
Tristen Kiesow funny because I whooped two Hondas at the dunes racing up a hill. My brother who was on a kfx450 was my only real competition that day. Idk different people have different stories. I've had good ones with my Yamaha, so I'm sticking with it
I've never ridden a Yamaha YZ80 but I heard about them a lot back in the 70s and 80s, also heard a lot about the RM80 however I did ride a new 1983 Honda CR80 when I was 15 years old and I could barley keep the front end on the ground. It didn't have a lot of low end torque but when the rpm's came up a bit the torque came on like Donkey Kong 😳. Not sure if the YZ or RM torque band was similar but that CR was scary fast.
when do you need 6th gear on a track? you'd never get past 4th on a short track...The YZ would kill you on any MX track. Yours would shine in a enduro race.
Max Rainbird *That Honda sucks it's newer and it's still slower until it gets to sixth gear which the Yamaha doesn't have!! They're dirt bikes so who cares if it's faster in a long stretch of road!! Since the Yamaha is faster up to its top speed and the Honda only passed it in the end because of sixth gear that means the Yamaha would be a much better choice for dirt racing and of course they are dirt bikes! I mean how often do you use sixth gear when you are racing on a dirt track!!! I'd much rather have the bike that gets it off the line because a good start is important in Motocross, I should know I raced for quite a while!!* *Yamaha was always the better bike in motocross and still is!!* *Actually Yamaha is the better bike all the way around, dirt and street, well for Japanese bikes anyway, Harley's are better for street Yamaha it's most definitely the better dirt bike by far!!!!!*
If we are doing 2 stroke my order is Suzuki, Honda, Ktm+husky, Kawasaki, and Yamaha. I hate Yamaha 85s. The foot peg lay out and just the overall feel of the bike has yet to impress me. The Suzuki in my opinion feels awesome and handles just right. 4 stroke however goes Yamaha, honda, Kawasaki, and Suzuki. (Leaving the ktm and husky out since I’ve never ridden one) idk what it is 4 stroke Yamaha’s are just awesome😂
In 1995 Yamaha made the yz80 a midrange/top end missile rocket with 6 gears, upside down forks, and big bike feel. I had one as a teenager and it pulled hard and forever. Rode one again this summer 20 yrs later and it was exactly like I remember. Super hard hit
Weight of the riders matters and both should at least have fresh top ends; one could have way more hours or abuse than the other -air filter maintenance etc. Good entertainment though. I have the Honda and it's true that going WOT, you can't keep the front wheel on the ground.
The 80s yamaha's what do 99 hour on Blacktop they had the power band on it it kept up with a Suzuki 125 I thought for sure the YZ would win because how fast they are on the takeoff congratulations you got a wicked bike Wildman
my cr80 was a 2001 I had a 105 big bore stroker kit, FMF fatty pipe with shorty, v force 3 reeds, full GPS suspension, twin air filter, ran 110 octane, had it geared wider, 12t sprocket on front, 51t on back, pro taper SE bars, Scott grips and donuts, gripper seat, FMF graphics, all new paint and plastic kit, and hot rod bottom end and lots more but the thing was a screamer...I could never keep the front tire down I mean never...bike was scary to ride and I weigh 165lbs and it carried me like nothing
+2vintage yeah fast asf but expensive...always going through chains and sprockets like nothing and was a bitch on gas 😂 all in all the bike cost me about 5g then I traded for a decked out blaster than traded that for a 96 cr125 witch I just got the other day now I'm building that into my new sleeper😈
So the Yamaha won then. That was faster at the beginning so it had more torque and then once the useless rpm range came he fell back. So that tells me its geared more for low end torque then high speed race. Perfect as a dirt bike should not be geared for top speed. So one win for the Yamaha.
I have the same bike I got super cheap but only thing is the big bore and the piston for messed up , I'm trying to rebuild the top end...what are some good cheap parts for the bike?
+2vintage thanks for the help they aren't really deap but i dont really want to take the risk of buying a new piston and then getting the piston scratched too
My 1980- Yamaha YZ80 yellow and black "bumblebee" my cousin and I owned from new until 1989 when we sold it never got beat by a Honda CR80. In fact it would stomp them into the ground as well as 100cc and 125cc 4-stroke enduros. Don't know what is wrong this this kid's Yamaha YZ but it ain't right or he is sandbagging it. The Yamaha was always the faster bike and both my cousin and I raced ours a lot in the 9 years we had it to know.
It easily beat a 1987 Suzuki DR100 4-stroke on many many occasions. It would walk away from it.....I know....that was the bike I bought to replace the Yamaha YZ80 with until I found out my old bike was better! :D
I own both and the cr might be faster but the yz gives more smiles. Love em both. Wanting to trade my cr for a 85 if anyone in the PA WV OH area wants to make a deal. My cr got new everything was a full restore has never been laid down since rebuild

I recently sold a 1989 yz80..it had fresh rebuild! I smoked a couple of late model yz85's on it..older bikes are built to last
i have o yz 80 1997 and its faster than ol 85 s
The yz80 is not only gapping all the new 85s I got a 95 with almost 100 hours on it still starts first kick runs like a scalded dog.

@@Hasangurbiyiklithos 80s have longer gearing and higher top speeds that’s why
i just got my CR 80 today and its fast AF, i love it though
Sled_NeckX99 nice man! Yeah they are crazy fast!
Whats the high of the sit
Claudio Giorgianni the CR80 is good for most 13 or 12 year olds if your a bit shorter
@@mesggdaahbf5786 yeah. I sold mine because I got sick of how short it was.
I'm 1,50
love the old two strokes!!! sometimes I drive my dads 1978 DT 400 and it's wicked!!!
Probably different sizes of sprockets the Yamaha yz80 front wheel was lifting in 1st & 2nd
@Luke Strohmeyer Certainly a gear ratio difference, that could definitely be why he won.
Nah the older cr80s are insane mine keeps up with 125s off the line
Nah yz80s were nuts, they always had more top end than the others, rm80s were crazy to but the LX and cr80s never kept up
DJ Higgins you obv never had or rode a 1990 cr80r
Nah I have, maybe they were crazy for the early 90s and late 80s but after that and relatively soon after that the hondas weren't anything impressive
Great Job! I'm new to this channel and subscribed! I was wondering if you do Atv videos too?
Micah Labby not really I don’t think
Awesome vid
After You's race swap bikes and do it again to see which bike is really faster
lil dude smoked him at driving skills 😂 my old cr was way faster than my yz
There goes your top end lol
Very cool guys.. i was curious about that..maybe your bikes have different sprockets
I’m a fan of both they are both amazing bikes
I just picked up a 1992 yz80 today for $425 and I love the damn thing. Great little pit bike.
Nice same here except mine is a 2005 cr85r runs and drives and g jt for $1000
not considered a Pit Bike
@@jeremyhoward6945 for someone who is 5’9 it’s a pit bike
@@itzzgraham I'm 5' 10 I wouldn't consider it a Pit Bike lol
good luck with your cr bro
Honda will always be my favorite
sameeee

I'd choose the cr but actually doesn't matter so much it's all about maintenance and love

DeathWalkersThirdWheel you forgot ktm and husqavarna.
Chris Folmar ohhh yeah sorry ktm is second and I don't care about husk
DeathWalkersThirdWheel ever rode a Suzuki there fun bikes the old ones are the best tho super sturdy and easy to find parts for
Game Noobs I used to have an old Suzuki quad, but not a dirt bike. All I know is the newer Suzuki dirtbikes= RIP

Dude that cr is quick
I have a 2002 Honda CR80R and my buddy has a 2001 yz80. We'll have to do a race video also and see what happens.
Awesome
You are my favorite youtuber on this app.
Thanks man!
Both fast 80cc bikes wander if there sprockets size are the same ?

Not sure if the YZ or RM torque band was similar but that CR was scary fast.
They YZ is the lightest of all of them and definitely loves to stand right up
what year is the yz80 and where did you get the restyled front fender and did you have to modify the fender or anything to get it on
I’m 4 10 and weigh 85lbs. What dirt bike should I get? I prefer a 2 stroke
Depending on the gearing and how well the bike is running & what has been done to it
Superb Video! Honda Makes The Speed?
Thanks, and yes that's what we're finding out. So far it seems that way.
when do you need 6th gear on a track? you'd never get past 4th on a short track...The YZ would kill you on any MX track. Yours would shine in a enduro race.
I like both of the bikes, but just something about a Honda. I prefer the cr if I had the choice. Terminator 2 had some sweet footage of the cr 80.
Nice
Lol more weight on the cr and worse start and it still won that proves Honda is the best no arguments.
LetsPlay2day but then you have a Kawasaki picture no jk I'm a Honda fan too
Max Rainbird I'm a Honda guy too but are they the same year?
gaming tv the cr was an 01 i think and the yz 00

The YZs were traditionally slower and smaller for younger and/or inexperienced riders. The KX/CR were the fastest and the RM was a good in-between.
Not true
@@elislifestyle3600 How so?

You’d otherwise be correct. It used to be the tamest 80.
@@brettfrimmer6567 How "otherwise"? I was correct.
You could hear that piston chattering on that cr
I might get a used yz80 from ‘86 should I it’s either that or a Suzuki jr80
I could ride with you, except I’ve never rode a two-stroke, except PW 50
dang bro I wish I had a brother like U
Thanks man!
80% rider 20% bike
Im a honda fan but seems like the yz took the win! Two incredible bikes
Guy on the CR is a better rider. That makes a big difference
That little 80 moves
im selling my kx tomorrow funny enough...want a yzf 450....BIG change lol
When I was a kid in the 1980s my m8 had a 1980 cr 80 and I had a 81 yz race tuned and that was quicker than the cr.
My 2002 cr80 does 70
I have a cr80 i love them
I am new to the channel
welcome! Thanks for watching!

You should do the yz80 and the cr80
Wasn't that what this video was?
just fucking turn it around and ride back not slowly back up
What State are you guys in with Super Long Roads like that. I'm in CaLi.

👍for honda
Same
If you're looking to drag race your dirt bike by a Honda but if you want to get down in the motocross race Yamaha all the way bro
Your both stupid For 2 storks Yamaha Kawasaki
Is it a 6 speed and a 5 speed? My yz80 had 6

how many teeth on rear and front sprockets???

depends if rings are wore down more on 1 or the other 🙄
how do you know if he is heavy
2:12, might need a rebuild

honda is always been a beast
How fast she go?
Do you have a kx 80
I am starting an account with it and a atv so just wondering if you have it.
No I really want to buy one though. I want to race it against my other bikes.
rode the yz in bored and stroked race version. front wheel all gears....
im 5 foot 6 and weigh 130 pounds should i get honda cr 125 or honda cr 85
Cr125 for sure

+2vintage ive started it but since the cylinder has some scratches from previous owners running it on gasoline only , it dosent have compression
+2vintage do you know if there would be a problem if i were to bore the cylinder or hone it ?
if you have deep scratches you need to bore it out to the next size

Haha why do chucks bikes have one gold rim and one silver
Yes yes yes Honda 80 takes the lead
I'm not offended, I just sold a yzf250 to buy a cr250. I like well built bikes I'm not really brand biased
Exactly, they all make good bikes and sometimes not so good bikes, ive yet to ride a motorbike that isnt fun to ride!
Get on a track boys. Then time 10 lapse for personal best. Switch bikes, do it again. Then. there can be only one....
