Early life

Born in Alanya, Razgatlıoğlu is the second son of famous Turkish stunt motorcyclist Arif Razgatlıoğlu who was known as Tek teker Arif which means Wheelie Arif. His father died, together with his girlfriend who was riding on the pillion seat, following a motorcycle accident in Antalya on 17 November 2017.[4]. As a practising muslim, Toprak does not follow the tradition of spray champagne on the podium following races, due to the prohibition of drinking alcohol in Islam.
