“THE ART OF MOTION”
By Alexander Cartigan
Jarred’s relationship with machines started early and never let up. As a teenager at Speed Sport Tuning, a Porsche race shop in Connecticut, he did the work no one wanted. Sweeping floors. Cleaning lifts. Staying quiet. Watching everything.
“I wasn’t allowed to touch anything,” he says. “I was the grunt of the grunts. But I paid attention.”
What he absorbed there became the foundation. Not just mechanics, but sensitivity. An understanding that no two machines are ever the same.
“You can line up two identical bikes or cars and they’ll still feel different,” he says. “They sound different. They respond differently. They tell you what they need.”
That belief defines his approach today. Tuning is not just numbers. It is interpretation.
“Data matters. Telemetry matters. But you can’t tune from a screen alone,” he says. “The rider has to trust it. The machine has to feel right. Sometimes the numbers say it’s perfect, but it isn’t. That’s where experience takes over.”
At Motorsport Exotica, that balance of precision and instinct is the difference. Every build is pushed until it doesn’t just perform on paper, it connects. Read more

“MEET JARRED FIXLER”
By Shoutout LA
Jarred Fixler is the owner of Motorsport Exotica, a performance-driven motorcycle facility built for riders who expect more from their machines.
“We focus on high-performance applications,” he says. “Race prep, custom builds, dyno tuning, suspension, trackside support. Everything is built around making the bike perform at its highest level.”
The shop itself reflects that mindset. Part workshop, part experience center, Motorsport Exotica combines technical precision with a curated retail environment designed for serious riders.
At the core of it all is a standard that does not bend.
“How you do anything is how you do everything,” Jarred says. “That applies to every bike that comes through here. Whether it’s a MotoAmerica race bike or an insurance repair, the standard doesn’t change.”
That philosophy is not just something said. It is enforced.
Every detail matters. Every step is deliberate. Nothing gets overlooked.
“If you can do one thing at a high level, you can do everything at a high level,” he says. “There’s no excuse not to.”
That consistency is what defines Motorsport Exotica. Not just performance on paper, but execution in practice, every time. Read More

He’s back. Andrew Lee, winner of two MotoAmerica Stock 1000 Championships (2018 and 2019), will return to the literbike class for 2024 as he races a Motorsport Exotica 2024 BMW M 1000 RR. The announcement was made by Motorsport Exotica company principal and team owner Jarred Fixler. “We are very excited for this season and this build,” Fixler said. “We are also very familiar with this platform. With Wyatt Farris as our rider last year, we were able to clinch #1 plates as well as overall organization title records in regional racing. Also, we made our MotoAmerica debut in 2022 with Ezra Beaubier racing a similar bike for us. He’s back.

“RSV4 VS V4S DYNO SHOOTOUT”

Without a doubt, the biggest news in the sportbike scene for 2018 is Ducati’s Panigale V4 and the emergence of a mass-produced four cylinder engine – the Stradale V4. While Ducati has finally left its beloved V-Twin engine behind (at least in terms of superbikes), there was no way the folks in Borgo Panigale would conform to tradition when it came to its new four-banger. For starters, as the name implies, the new engine is arranged as a 90º V4 – essentially multiplying its V-Twin tradition by two.
The similarities don’t end there, though: the V4 is arranged with a “Twin Pulse” firing order, meaning each bank of cylinders fires closely together. The end result is a four cylinder that sounds awfully similar to Ducati’s traditional V-Twin (or L-Twin for the Ducatisti who will inevitably whine about the improper nomenclature) until revs start to climb to the Stradale’s 14,500 rpm redline. Then the Stradale roars like nothing else out there…

My personal story is very simple. I grew up always tinkering with performance cars and motorcycles. I was infatuated with anything engine powered, from scooters, to my parents lawn mowers I could always be found wrenching in my parents garage.
Once old enough to legally work, I got an apprenticeship with a local performance automotive garage and started skipping my after school sports to go work at the shop. Cleaning floors, garbage and general clean up were my duties. Unpaid, it didn’t bother me, I knew I was gaining experience and working around the cars I loved.
That experience quickly spiraled into racing. I was recruited to race sports cars for the same shop I was cleaning up. That passion and determination had finally blossomed into one of my dreams. Not long after my automotive racing career started I found myself learning to ride motorcycles. After that very first ride I was hooked. Cars will always have a deep special place in my heart but bikes took over…

“WE TOUR MOTORSPORT EXOTICA”

Jarred Fixler wasn’t always involved in the motorcycle industry. Growing up in rural Connecticut, Fixler first got involved in motorsports when he started ditching middle school to sweep the floors of a Porsche shop. He did this so he could be around the automotive artwork and hardware he had admired since childhood. This lead to a short car racing career before jumping on his first two-wheeled machine at age 17. Ever since, motorcycles has been his true passion. Fixler founded Motorsport Exotica in the basement of his house after observing the high demand of repair and modification in the local sportbike market. The shop regularly housed nearly 10 bikes and averaged three custom build projects per year.
Expansion moved operations to proper shop facilities accompanied by capital investments in multiple bike lifts, tire changing equipment and even a DynoJet dynamometer. Last year, the decision was made to take the company to the next level. Fixler left the comfort of his private office and quit his managerial position at a large, stable corporation to pursue his passion and devote all of his resources towards the bike shop. In order to strategically position itself in a very opportunity-rich market, Motorsport Exotica was uprooted…

Wyatt Farris Motorsport Exotica eased to a clear win over Bryce Prince in the headlining CTML Consultants Gold Cup race at the two-day California Racing Association (CRA) event August 12-13 at Buttonwillow Raceway Park.
On a typically hot August day in Central California, with the temperature soaring into triple digits, Farris took his BMW M 1000 RR to a 5.635-second win over
Prince on his Yamaha YZF-R1 after 12 laps on the demanding 3.0-mile circuit.
Prince had the consolation of setting the race’s fastest lap, a 1:44.756 to Farris’ 1:44.896, and was nearly 17 seconds ahead of Deion Campbell on his Yamaha
YZF-R6. Ben Hodges, Jason Rodriguez and Nayden Balladares completed the top six…

I started Motorsport Exotica out of necessity. I had recently moved from the East Coast to LA and was unable to find a local shop that did work to my standards. Some specialized in just one thing, others claimed they could do anything I asked for. Few delivered what they promised, had good communication, fair prices and specialized in performance modifications. I finally had enough and started working on my bike as well as my close friends just to help out. Eventually it took over. I had 20 bikes in a 2 car residential garage. Building engines on my washing machine, tuning forks next to my hot water heater. We at Motorsport Exotica pride ourselves for being a step above. We don’t have conventional hours, we work until the job is done. Our services cater to a niche market of performance based riders. Specializing in racing and performance work. We are one of only a few shops in all of Southern California that offer the services we offer. Exotica is also a bit different as we practice what we preach. Our fully in house staff runs a regional race team and has multiple championships in several classes to back it. Our knowledge extends past just dealership maintenance work. Working with dozens of international brands and being able to deliver products that are otherwise unobtainable to the general masses. Nothing about starting your own business is easy. Especially a service based company. Being able to deliver on time while maintaining an extremely high standard is what was the hardest.
