Without a doubt, I'd get the '86 model. There were improvements made to the front end(different angle and larger diameter fork tubes, different tire size)for better handling, more suspension travel, a better air intake system, 6 speed(you're aware of that), different ignition curve, slightly different carburetor(although it was the same size as the old one). For 86, it was finally in the ballpark with it's competition, and would even outrun the Tecate on top speed by 3mph (stock vs. stock) My first Z was an 86 that I bought new. It ran on the original plug for 5 years or more mixed at 20:1, along with the original build/rings. I now have 2 different 86 Z's(one of which will be raced)and 1 85 Z, and I'm about to buy another 85.
