Razgatlıoğlu is well known for his 'stoppie' celebration. He is also known for his dominating record, being called a Superbike equivalent to Marc Márquez. He joined Pramac Racing for the 2026 season, the year before the 2027 Regulation change, and became the first MotoGP rider hailing from Turkey. He is the first WSBK rider since Loris Baz to switch to MotoGP and the first WSBK champion since Ben Spies.

Early life Born in Alanya, Razgatlıoğlu is the second son of the Turkish stunt motorcyclist Arif Razgatlıoğlu, who was known as "Tek Teker Arif" ("Wheelie Arif"). His father, together with his girlfriend who was riding on the pillion seat, died following a motorcycle accident in Antalya on 17 November 2017.

2022 In June, Razgatlıoğlu got an opportunity to test a Yamaha YZR-M1 during a one-day MotoGP private test at the Motorland Aragón circuit. Razgatlıoğlu completed forty laps during this test. No empirical data was made available from the test, likely owing to the test's confidentiality and press being locked out of the event.

Personal life Nicknamed El Turco, Razgatlıoğlu is managed by former multiple time WSSP champion Kenan Sofuoğlu. He resides in Sakarya. Toprak's father used to call him Tek Teker Toprak, but he used to get angry by it because he would say ‘I am a racer, not a stunt rider’. Toprak's father had a shop with Atari games and at the back was a straight where he used to do stunts as a kid.

On 10 October 2025, Razgatlıoğlu received his 2021 WorldSBK championship winning bike from Yamaha after signing a MotoGP contract with them.
