Odds Are This Woman Is Faster Than You + Video
BuzzFeed, the site well known for distributing those cute cat videos we can’t help but watch when it pops up on our news feed, has surprised us with this one. BuzzFeed Yellow, the brand’s offshoot bringing us “short, fun, funny, and interesting” stories has produced a video on motorcycles. More specifically, a woman who races motorcycles, and is probably faster than you.
By day, Krystyna Kubran is a mechanical engineer, but in her free time she’s racing her Kawasaki ZX-10R with WERA, edging closer and closer towards the front each time she goes out. In this video, we get to know Kubran the woman and Kubran the racer. She explains what her experience has been like infiltrating a male-dominated sport, and what it feels like posting quicker lap times than a lot of the guys in the paddock. Ultimately, Kubran hopes to inspire today’s girls, tomorrow’s women, to not be afraid to chase their goals. Krystyna really is an interesting woman. Watch the video below to learn more about her.
Troy's been riding motorcycles and writing about them since 2006, getting his start at Rider Magazine. From there, he moved to Sport Rider Magazine before finally landing at Motorcycle.com in 2011. A lifelong gearhead who didn't fully immerse himself in motorcycles until his teenage years, Troy's interests have always been in technology, performance, and going fast. Naturally, racing was the perfect avenue to combine all three. Troy has been racing nearly as long as he's been riding and has competed at the AMA national level. He's also won multiple club races throughout the country, culminating in a Utah Sport Bike Association championship in 2011. He has been invited as a guest instructor for the Yamaha Champions Riding School, and when he's not out riding, he's either wrenching on bikes or watching MotoGP.
