85's had 5gears, 86's had 6. 85 1/2 also had 6. Other than that I don't think there was much difference.

front fork diameter are different, swingarm renforcment on the 86 model, tire size are different, coolant overflow bottle are located at different place!!!

85's had 5gears, 86's had 6. 85 1/2 also had 6. .

'85 1/2 a 6-speed? That's news to me. My mid-year black Z was a 5-speed.

all 85's were 5 speed the 85.5's just look better in my opinion...

the yellow one (85)was 5 speed ... the black and red one "5-speed" (85.5)was supposed to be the 86 and the red and white ones are 6 speed
Yami (STOPPED) them unlike the "87" T-3 and 200X in 1986
85 and 85.5 have 8" rear rims ... 86 has the 9'rear rims
