Turbo Supermoto – 2008 Yamaha WR280X

In Japan, Sport by AbhiLeave a Comment

For a few years, Yamaha offered one of the only factory supermotos that US riders could buy. Based on the WR250R, the X got 17 inch wheels with sticky street tires to complement the 249cc single that shared high tech features from the YZ250F motocross bike. I already like the 250X, but this example is on a whole ‘nother level thanks to a 280 kit from Thumper Racing and a MP Fab turbo!

If you want more information on the base bike, check out this review from Top Speed. But you probably just want to know more about this custom, which has 7,031 miles and a ‘motor freshening’ from Allan Noland of Noland-TransWorld Cycle. In addition to the big bore kit and the turbo, it also has a FMF Q4 exhaust, Power Commander III, Zeta shifter, REVLOC auto clutch, and stainless steel brake lines.
