We always like to talk about Zayn Sofuogluson of the 5-time Supersport world champion Kenan Sofuoglu. He is now 7 years old and has been surprising people online for some time with his appearances on motorcycles, cars, or whatever… In fact, we have told you in wonder the “hands” that this kid has.
It is, therefore, not the first time that he has faced a machine that, due to its size and performance, seems completely disproportionate to him.
The BMW M 1000 RR looks huge on Zayn Sofuoglu
The first impression when seeing the images is almost comical. The BMW M 1000 RR is a superbike designed around the dimensions of an adult, and Zayn He can barely reach the controls and footrest with his feet. When leaving the pits, Kenan Sofuoglu You have to hold the motorcycle to keep it upright while your child stands on it. The little one cannot put his feet down normally when he stops, so his father must obviously be prepared to support the more than 190 kg of the bmw as soon as the motorcycle loses speed.
The situation repeats itself when returning to the pits. It is an image that perfectly summarizes the extent to which the ergonomics of a superbike of this caliber is far from the dimensions of a 7-year-old child. And, furthermore, the M 1000 RR It is not exactly a simple motorcycle. The 2026 version states 218 hp and reaches 314 km/h.
Zayn Sofuoglu as soon as he starts filming, everything changes
The surprising thing comes when Zayn He leaves the pit area and begins to link curves. His position on the bike is far from conventional. The arms are practically extended to reach the handlebars and the little rider has to move his body forward to be able to control a motorcycle designed for an adult. Even changing gears seems like a complicated operation. His feet are so small compared to the footrests and the lever that he has to constantly modify his position to operate the controls.
But then comes the curve. Zayn moves the body inward and begins to tilt the bmw. The bike continues to descend until it reaches a really striking angle of inclination and, finally, the front wings and the lower area of the fairing rub against the asphalt.
It is precisely that contact that turns the video into one of those images that is difficult to believe at first sight. A BMW M 1000 RR, with all its aerodynamic technology, tilted until elements of the fairing touch the ground. And driven not by Jorge Martin. But, for a “pu…” child”. Let’s continue.
Behind the camera is Razgatlioglu
The video, on top of that, becomes even more interesting because of who is behind the camera. Toprak Razgatlioglu is the one who records the scene closely, following the evolutions of Zayn about the super sports car. It is not a casual association. The Turkish rider knows the world of superbikes perfectly and it was precisely with bmw with whom he managed to become Superbike world champion in 2024 before making the jump to MotoGP. Now, as we all know, he faces the season in the premier category with the team Pramac Yamaha.
The presence of Toprak It also adds a little more epicness to the video. While one of the most spectacular riders of the current generation remains behind the camera, in front of it appears a child who tries to take advantage of a motorcycle that is literally too big for him… No. Colossally gigantic.
Precisely for this reason, each new video of Zayn It inevitably opens a second question: how far should this type of training go? The BMW M 1000 RR It exceeds 200 hp and can reach more than 300 km/h. That a 7-year-old child is able to handle it and take it to such steep angles of inclination is spectacular from a technical point of view, but it also raises obvious questions about the risks associated with this type of display.
In fact, not too long ago, as we told you, Zayn He starred in images that generated a lot of controversy. The little Turk suffered a small incident while training with Toprak Razgatlioglualthough both were unharmed. This time there is no fall. Just one BMW M 1000 RR completely inclined, a child who barely reaches the controls and ailerons that end up meeting the asphalt and suffering some scratches for nothing.
