I think it would be great if more MFG's were actually developing their mini's. The KX got some updates... Enough? I don't know what would be "enough". The YZ needs some attention... The RM needs it more than any for sure.

And I was hoping that SWM would produce too. I understood that they had prototypes, but the info came from a dealer, one that I thought would be reliable, but I don't know that for sure.

Here's a 125 and maybe a 65 behind it?

It was an 65 / 85 actually and they were just protoprototype's.

Dual shrouds? Otherwise it looks like the same plastic as a '21. But that is interesting if they do redesign it and it has 2 rads. I guess the KTM is already like that. As far as the 125, I'm very interested to see if they change that. I would be ok with the same basic chassis, a new swingarm and some more power up top.

There is absolutely no point in twin radiators on an 85 cc engine... really. The water jacket around the cylinder + head is 200 milliliters. Put that in a glass, have a look how small it is in reality. One radiator is all that's necessary, anything else is just added weight.
One radiator is ok its when that radiator is prone to bending it becomes and issue. 2 rads will narrow the profile lessing the chances of bending the rads and distribute the weight more evenly.

Yamaha 85 can use an update but I still find it amazing Honda doesn’t make an 85 or won’t make that 150 legal in the 85 class. Stroke it down or whatever

2 comments I would make...

I did say they were prototypes.

And this is on the side of the larger bike....

Anyone know or find the weight difference between 2022 YZ85 and KTM 85?

KTM is 147.7 lbs without fuel. Tank is 1.37 gallons and fuel is 6.3 lbs adding an additional 8.63 lbs getting you to a weight wet of 156.3

Yamaha is saying weight wet of their bike is 161 lbs.

Bikes are pretty close to almost the same weight.
