I had an '86 for about a year and it was a great bike. I know the '84 is different then the '85 but I can't remeber if there are any big changes to the '86. In '84 they were called the XR80 and had dual rear shocks then in '85 they changed it to an XR80R and had the pro-link mono shock rear end (much better). There were a few other smaller changes too.
