MONTEREY, Calif. - Roaring Toyz owner Robert Fisher and Yoshimura Suzuki roadracer Mat Mladin unveiled the latest creation from Roaring Toyz today at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca: a custom Suzuki GSX-R1000 built to showcase Bike Gear Warehouse. This build marks the first time that Fisher and Mladin have teamed up on a project. After meeting each other at an AMA Superbike round earlier this season, the two began discussing ideas for a custom sportbike to promote Mladin’s new business, Bike Gear Warehouse. The Australian distribution company will be carrying Roaring Toyz products, so the collaboration was a natural choice.

“Since I’m a roadracer myself, it was great to team up with Mat. This Suzuki is a custom, but we utilized a lot of performance parts, making it a true blend of roadracing technology and custom style,” said Fisher. Fisher and Mladin unveiled the bike in the American Suzuki tent at Laguna Seca Saturday morning. Fans in attendance were able to get a poster of the Roaring Toyz Suzuki signed by Mladin.

The Roaring Toyz/Bike Gear Warehouse Suzuki GSX-R1000 will travel to all of the remaining AMA Superbike rounds this season before making the long trek to Australia, where it will be used for Bike Gear Warehouse promotions. The bike features a long list of modifications, including a Roaring Toyz custom swingarm that gives the bike three inches of stretch, Performance Machine Mayhem Black Contrast Cut wheels, and a 240 size Dunlop rear tire.

Among the performance upgrades are a Yoshimura R77 full stainless steel exhaust, a Bazzaz Performance Z-FI Fuel Control Unit, an Öhlins TTX36 rear shock absorber, Vortex Racing rearsets, and Galfer steel-braided brake lines.
