Most toddlers are probably just enjoying their time at home, watching the latest Cocomelon or whatever viral videos they have for kids on YouTube these days. This kid pictured here, however, is unlike most toddlers.
Meet Zayn Sofuoglu, a three-year-old living his best life on the track. And he’s not just driving small go-karts or going flat out on pocket bikes—this kid actually rides big bikes. How big? Well, about 1,800cc Honda Gold Wing big. Bonkers. This is what ‘start ’em young’ really means.

The kid can actually mount the different big bikes himself, which alone is already quite impressive. His father, former professional motorcycle racer and five-time Supersport World Champion Kenan Sofuoglu, helps release the bikes from the stand to get it going. He then leaves his son to his own devices from there.
The younger Sofuoglu controls the throttle and the brakes on his own, and as seen in other clips posted on his Instagram page, he’s also able to steer the big bikes around the track. You have to admire not just his skill but also the sheer trust his parents have in him to let him do something like this, and on a regular basis at that.
Needless to say, this isn’t something you should try at home. Granted, the kid could’ve still used more riding gear, but what’s important here is that all these were filmed inside a closed track under controlled conditions and while under the supervision of professionals. Anyway, you can check out more of this wonderboy’s videos below.
