PW 80

2006 Yamaha PW 80 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Engineered by Yamaha for the minibike, cross motorcycle segment, the 2006 Yamaha PW 80 relies on a 79 cc (4.8 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 4.7 HP (3.4 kW) at 5,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 6.3 Nm (4.6 lb-ft), transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 59.5 HP per liter, the engine character is prioritizing low-RPM tractability, mechanical longevity and relaxed throttle response over peak redline numbers.

On the scales, the PW 80 measures 57 kg (126 lbs) dry. 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 1,055 mm (41.5 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 8-liter (2.1 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
