The 2005 PW80 is Yamaha's offer to those who have outgrown the entry-point PW50 bike. Alongside the increased displacement and power, the PW80 also brings a 3-speed transmission. Shifting is smooth as the clutch is automatic, allowing the young riders to focus on learning how to use the different power and torque deployment schemes and forget about the clutch work for a while.
PW80 also comes with a 2-stroke engine which packs plenty of punch despite its small displacement and the same adjustable exhaust restrictor to allow adults to tailor the engine power according to the rider's skills.
