Kenan Sofuoglu’s son rides a Kawasaki H2R and BMW M1000 RR at just six years old
Social media sensation Zayn Sofuoglu has been seen riding two of the most powerful bikes in the world, at just six years of age.
Videos of Zayn Sofuoglu, who is just six years old, riding a Kawasaki H2R and BMW M1000 RR have appeared on social media.
You may have heard the name Zayn Sofuoglu before, but if you haven’t, he is the son of former five-time World Supersport champion Kenan Sofuoglu.
Zayn Sofuoglu’s rise to fame began at the age of three when he was seen behind the wheel of a Ferrari at his father’s karting track in Turkiye. But since then, his reputation has taken off even further.
At the age of five, Sofuoglu reportedly set the fastest top speed for a child after reaching over 200mph while driving a Lamborghini. Sofuoglu also went on to win a domestic supermoto championship.
Sofuoglu has also been seen racing against three-time WorldSBK champion Toprak Razgatlioglu, which again took place at his dad’s training circuit.
However, seeing Sofuoglu ride a 321bhp Kawasaki H2R and a BMW M1000 RR might just be his best achievement to date.
Here’s the video of Sofuoglu riding the M1000 RR.
The M1000 RR is one of most powerful road-going superbikes in the world, so to see a child that weighs just 23kg (according to his father) ride a 1,000cc motorcycle is pretty astonishing.
Next up is a clip of him riding the H2R, as Zayn Sofuoglu receives help from his father during the take off, before completing a short run. The clip of him riding a H2R can be seen below.
