Enthusiast builds Jaguar "leaper" motorcycle

We like Jaguar's classic leaper emblem, we really do. But we also realize that the iconic cat needs to pounce on the right target, which doesn't include the hood of the new XF. How about on a motorcycle? Or, more appropriately, how about an entire motorcycle? One enterprising Jaguar fan has fabricated a two-wheeler that the Indian British marque won't be making itself, though the result is pretty impressive if awfully impractical. The engine is either from a Sporty or an air-cooled Buell, though the wheels are definitely from Erik's parts bin. There's a custom frame underneath suspending the engine from its top and the rear motor mounts, but the real eye-catcher is the bodywork. We can't be sure what the leaper is made from but our guess would be composites as it doesn't appear pounded from metal.

Good engine choice, it should have similar reliability to the cars.

That thing qwould look badass in a 12 oclock wheelie

Buick_65 · 08-20-2008, 12:28 PM

It would look more badass in a land fill....

Avboden · 08-20-2008, 12:45 PM

I'll stick to this. kthxby

chrisb · 08-20-2008, 12:46 PM

that looks like a motorcycle abortion gone wrong

Vigilante · 08-20-2008, 02:53 PM

It's a good thing they don't show the rider on it, he would automatically be titled....

CAT HUMPER!!!

Here I thought dogs were the only ones that did this...

That's one slutty "pussy" cat.

Oh ya, and the cat bike sucks. Id like to take the dog van from dumb and dumber and drive over it

Must have been the same guy....

ODiE · 08-21-2008, 10:34 AM

Is it just me or does that bike look impossible to ride? Look at where the seat is in relation to the handlebars and foot controls. You would have to ride that thing while laying on your junk. Does the seat have a junk hole?

the green one is very cool! So the blue one is sporting a 6 speed? If its packing suspension and modern go fast goodies to match the wheels... maybe its not so bad

Yeah its packing a richmond 6 speed, duel plate race clutch, new airfilter set up, full fireball ignition system and modern brakes/suspension. We also have a new Cam for it that'll add another 50HP but we're reluctant to put it in as its a ton of work on the V12 and it doesn't really need more power... well it always needs more power but thats what the '68 500HP vette is for.

Yes I totally jacked this thread. I don't care, it was jaguar related anyways

taznhell · 08-21-2008, 07:54 PM

Lookks cool would not want to hump err ride it

OOk · 08-21-2008, 11:49 PM

Outrageous fanboy aspirations do not automatically equal "attractive" or "cool". That thing is hideous.

KillermondoDude · 08-22-2008, 01:17 AM

But it would still look fukkin badassed in a 12 oclock wheelie
