Built around Yamaha's minibike, cross motorcycle platform, the 2005 Yamaha PW 80 utilizes a 79 cc (4.8 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, two-stroke layout. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 47.0 x 45.6 mm (1.9 x 1.8 inches) with a 6.6:1 compression ratio.
Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 635 mm (25 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,054 mm (41.5 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 4.92-liter (1.3 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
