Former GNCC Champion Kailub Russell reported on November 6 that his garage/shop in North Carolina was broken into overnight and that 17 motorcycles were stolen, including his current AmPro Yamaha race bikes and many of his championship-winning KTMs.
“I am super distraught,” he said on social media. “All my bikes, they are gone. We were here asleep, my bedroom is like 75 feet away, I don’t know how I didn’t hear them. Every one of my championship bikes…they’re just gone. I am so at a loss of words. We’re all safe, but all of my bikes are just gone.
“Some of these bikes will probably show up; if you guys come across any brand-new factory KTMs, reach out, let me know. I’m going to need some help.”
The post added: “Together as the entire motorcycle community, please keep your eyes open for anything and any information, please contact the authorities, or the Russell family.”
Here is the list of motorcycles that were taken: 2010 KTM 250XC-F XC-2 championship bike, 2013 KTM 350 XC-F, 2014 KTM 350 XC-F, 2015 KTM 350 XC-F, 2015 KTM 250 SX-F Factory Edition, 2016 KTM 350 XC-F, 2017 KTM 350 XC-F, 2018 KTM 350 XC-F, 2019 KTM 350 XC-F, 2020 KTM 350 XC-F, 2020 KTM 350 XC-F Kailub Russell Edition, 2017 Kawasaki KLX 110 (looks just like Russell’s 2020 championship bike), two 2025 Yamaha YZ65s, 2025 Yamaha YZ250FX, 2025 YZ450F and 2025 Cobra Jr 50.
