2024 Yamaha YZ two-strokes roll into Australian dealers

2024 Yamaha YZ two-strokes land

Yamaha’s 2024 range of YZ two-stroke motocross motorcycles are now available in Australia. The YZ65 is priced at $7,299, the YZ85 at $8649, and the larger wheel YZ85LW for $9049, all ride-away.

The senior YZ125 and YZ250 models have also landed, priced at $11,799 and $13,249 ride-away respectively.

The very trick anniversary liveried YZ250 SP is also already available and demands a $300 premium over the standard Team Yamaha Blue model.

That SP colour scheme is a 1990s inspired motocross theme, and celebrates 50-years of Yamaha off-road innovation. The YZ125 SP is also arriving this month, priced at $12,099 ride-away.
