Per VINdown's modeling, the Yamaha YZ85 retains an estimated 65% of its value after five years, ranking #599 of 1005 powersports vehicles we track. That is roughly in line with the 64% five-year average for Dirt in its class.

Most of the loss lands early: the Yamaha YZ85 sheds about 6% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $5,099 it falls to around $3,314 by year five — a five-year loss near $1,785, about $0.98 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 2, a lightly-used Yamaha YZ85 bought at 2 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
