what is faster a kx85 or a yz85?

i'm thinking yz85 because yamaha is better at dirt bikes but team green is always fast..i'd say the yz and kx are very close

I had a KX 80 when I was in sixth grade and let me tell you, it was quick. I've never ridden a YZ though.

The KX will have more low end because it has a powervalve (the YZ does not). I believe the YZ puts out more on top though. If you are a novice rider the KX is a better choice, as they both handle similarly..

If the KX, like many Kawi's is running the Suzuki motor than for sure it's quicker.

It's not. All the KX/RM 2 strokes are independent from each other (except for the RM/KX 60/65/100).

The yz85s are doggs. I would say the kx would take it off the line for a little while then the yz would come back top end.. if its that long of a race..:macho

Do yourself a favour and go buy a CR85r and i promise you'll never have to ***** about it :) (the cr will rip apart kx/yz anyday)
