Forget horsepower, this one has cat power Pictures have been unearthed of a motorcycle formed in the shape of the famous Jaguar 'leaper'. Details are scarce, but gadget website T3.com reports that the bike was built by an enthusiast in his own garage.
It seems to be powered by a twin V-engine, with a necessarily swung back riding position. This bike would struggle to be made road legal here in the UK, as it seems unlikely the rider could see over the big cat's head. The so-called 'leaper' mascot dates back to the 1940s, when Sir William Lyons formed Jaguar out of the Swallow Sidecar Company (SS Cars.) |
