I finally got my knee down! …and my shoulder …and my pillion’s head.
Super. A motorcycle designed to make it look exactly like the rider's humping a giant cat.
kiwibiker is full of love, an disrespect.
- mikey
Pity the "R6" name is taken.
(Stunning engineering, though.)
Measure once, cut twice. Practice makes perfect.
How would the centre of gravity be? Feet on the rear axle, a lot of body weight above and in front of the front axle. Looks pretty, think it'd be a bitch to ride though.
I figure car drivers must be Apes. All they do is sit in cages all day & grunt
What were they thinking?

V pretty, but when form over-rides function....
Have seen many less practical "Choppers" at shows with >$100k price tickets on em.
If you have that kind of $ and like that kind of thing, the performance issues are obviously not important!
Check out "Franco Sbarro" for interesting design with "nature" as inspiration.
Doing the thinking for you
Well... At least there's nowt to really get in the way if you crash front end first, like an inconvenient "tank" to take your nads out on!
I wonder how big the tank it. If you were to fill that whole Jaguar it might take a bit![]()
Must be hard talking with Jaguar - now head office in in India.
I wonder where they outsource there call center.
(for those who miss the point Jaguar is now owned by an Indian company Tata - who are also the makers of the worlds cheapest car)
What a stupid design, like the first reply said; it looks like cat rape. What we need next is for someone to put a wheel between the front and rear legs of a fibreglass horse, then post an article titled "The true meaning of two wheeled horsepower" or "They said it was impossible, one engineer said Neigh"![]()
Are Jaguar are testing the water with a Jaguar bike;
Made by artist/engineer Lee J Rowland. It has a 1,200cc Buell 97 S3 Thunderbolt engine, and custom air intakes and exhaust to match the fiberglass cat body. It's currently for sale, but being able to cruise down the road looking like you're shagging a giant cat comes at a cost -- $567,000
Oh a re post
Lifes Just one big ride - buckle up or hang on
The idea is cool, it would have been awesome if they put the seat on the cat's back though, so it looks like you're actually riding the cat, instead of... err... doing something naughty to it.
Motorcycling is like life - it's about the journey, not the destination.
