Millions of dollars’ worth of MotoGP bikes have been seized in a raid by police in Mexico
A large motorcycle collection, including MotoGP bikes raced by Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo, allegedly belonging to a drug kingpin, was confiscated by Mexican authorities. The FBI unveiled images of the collection believed to be owned by Ryan Wedding, who is on the run and sought by the US Government. Wedding, a former Canadian Olympic snowboarder, faces drug charges and is rumored to be residing in Mexico. Among the seized bikes are notable models like Lorenzo’s 2018 Ducati and Rossi’s Ducatis from 2011-2012. The collection also includes Moto2 bikes raced by Marc Marquez and various other high-performance bikes.
In late 2025, Mexican authorities conducted search warrants that led to seizing the motorcycles, estimated at $40 million USD, believed to be owned by Wedding. The successful seizure was a joint effort involving Mexican authorities, the FBI, RCMP, and LAPD. The fate of the confiscated bikes remains unclear, as Wedding continues to evade arrest and is considered armed and dangerous.
