Video: Jaguar Leaping Cat motorcycle now a runner
Massow Concept Motorcycles Jaguar – Click above to watch the video after the jump
Happen to be a Jaguar lover with a hankering for unique motorcycles? If not, we can't imagine that you'd want to ride around on a massive Leaping Cat sculpture capable of hitting speeds of 50 miles per hour, but that hasn't stopped Massow Concept Motorcycles from creating just such a beast. Called the NightShadow, the foundation of the motorcycle is an air-cooled Buell S3's 1200cc V-twin powerplant.
We first saw the Jaguar-shaped motorcycle back in August of 2008, and it seems as if the bike is now completely operational. We like to think of Autoblog as a family-friendly site, so we won't say what it looks like to ride. Regardless, if Jaguar isn't your cup of tea, Massow has designed a slew of other concepts that take well-known logos and turns them into something resembling a motorcycle. Check a few of them out in our gallery below and click past the break to see the Jaguar Leaper motorcycle in action.

It does... as if he's mounted and trying plow the cat.

let's face it, it looks like he's raping a jaguar and it's crying out in anguish.

Sometimes people are just too literal in their designs.

Just watched the video and couldn't stop laughing. It does look very wrong, if I saw that guy violating that jaguar/motorcycle while I was riding or driving, I'd probably crash.
His junk up against the vibrating jaguar's butt can't be comfortable, and don't even get me started on that riding position. It would be even better if he did a stand-up wheelie. Meeeeow!
Oh, and those exhaust pipes, there should be one big one, facing forward, toward the front wheel.

LOL I have so many things I want to say... rofl
1. It's gay (in a gay way / no offense to gay people)
2. I only watched this because I was hoping for a double face plant. I don't know why, I just thought it would be funny. ;)
3. The headlight faces down.
4. He's probably going to get a ticket for "Obstructed View" from having the equiv of a wild animal on his handle bars.
5. One slip and his nuts are spun off from the rear tire! ROFL..
6. I have a huge amount of respect for the guy for making his dream bike and for his craftsmanship.... but... um... but...um.. it's still gay! I mean Richard Simmons wouldn't be caught dead on that thing...
With all due.... ;)

I think this bike is absolutely perfect...........for a Will Ferrell movie! Or maybe a Zoolander sequel. YES! Just Imagine Ben Stiller/Derek Zoolander riding this thing. A perfect match.

How else would you get a jag to run so fast?

"How else would you get a jag to run so fast?"
Have a gayer bike chase it? But I don't think that's possible...

Does this mean the bike will soon have kittens?

Fat balding man kittens.

I think it looks awesome. Maybe it's just awkward with a human on it, a man sitting on the bum of a jaguar can seem pretty odd.

Looks awesome, also looks like it wouldn't be the most comfortable ride.....

Did you see the length of those pipes? You're right, that thing will scream! More like an obnoxious rumble actually.
And I'm sorry but pulling up next to any real motorcycle or ANY vehicle really, even one of those ridiculous trike bikes... I can't see any possible reaction except laughter. At you, not with you.

Looks like he's humping a Jaguar who is trying to get away from him...Just because you can doesn't mean you should...

With all the troll posts(and responses) and (veiled) name calling thrown about, I didn't think it was family friendly...
