Yamaha is the only Japanese company not to have abandoned two-stroke motocross loyalists seeking motocross machines in the 125cc and 250cc displacement categories, and the Blu Cru is remaining firm in its conviction by offering the YZ85, YZ125 and YZ250 for 2016.

Granted, all three models carry over unchanged, save for updated graphics, but the company showed some love to its YZ125 and the YZ250 by combing through them and make key changes last year. For 2016, the YZ85, YZ125 and YZ250 are all equipped with gold-colored chains and black wheels to give them a “factory-racing style.”
