Oct 2 2008Um, Coooool: A Big Cat Motorcycle

This is a motorcycle 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 fucking a giant cat comes at a cost -- $567,000.
Hit the jump for several more of the beast.



Limited Edition (of one) cat 1 Über-bike [bookofjoe]
Thanks to Mike, who may or may not ride a dolphin motorcycle.

4. Ash - October 2, 2008 6:19 PM
Wait that came out wrong. I was going to say cat
5. ahha - October 2, 2008 6:22 PM
If you imagine a rider on the bike with their hands on the handlebars... $567,000 to look like your ass raping a black metal cat? I can do that for free.
6. Coffee - October 2, 2008 6:22 PM
Not bad for a c-rocket I guess.
Just not my style.
And way outside my budget.
Oh, and Not First! Ain't I so cool?
7. LSDiesel - October 2, 2008 6:25 PM
It would be better if I could get one that looked like Nick Bacon's mother. Best ride in town!
8. tochirov - October 2, 2008 6:26 PM
looks rediculous, like something a cat-related super hero would ride..
9. Nathan - October 2, 2008 6:27 PM
That looks horrible. It would look like the rider was humping a Jaguar. Plus it completely rips off the jaguar logo.
*shiver* Horrible.

@9
Why don't you read before posting? Like read #5.

looks an awful lot like the Jaguar hood ornament .
13. Cenon Mercado - October 2, 2008 7:06 PM

15. suzy blue balls - October 2, 2008 7:16 PM
yes, i'd love to look like i've mounted a panther and i'm boning it from it's buttocks.
16. Pathetic Otologist - October 2, 2008 7:28 PM
You'd think for $567,000 The damn cat would have teeth instead of a black block in it's mouth. :<
17. whateva - October 2, 2008 7:37 PM
This can't be real. If you are sitting on the seat the cat's head blocks your view of the road.
18. Andrew - October 2, 2008 7:38 PM
I'd rather just tape a cat to a motorcycle. Cheap and effective. It would achieve a similar effect.
19. Hoopla - October 2, 2008 7:51 PM
This looks like as if came straight out of Power Rangers, or something like it! O.o
20. coolguy - October 2, 2008 8:08 PM

Jesus is a friend of mine
Jesus is my friend
jesus is a friend of mine
I have a friend in Jesus
Once I tried to run, once I tried to hide, but Jesus found me and touched me deep down inside
He is like a mountie , he always get his man
And he'll zap you any way he can......................................................................................
Zap
23. Douchie Mc Bagman - October 2, 2008 9:39 PM
Does it come with whistle tips?
24. Pathetic Otologist - October 2, 2008 10:29 PM
And let's keep in mind, everyone-
It's a piece of ART.
Probably not feasible to ride;
it would more than likely blow apart in the incident of a crash.
25. Hunter - October 2, 2008 10:32 PM
@ 3, 14 - thanks for not letting me be the first to make a Thundercats reference.
26. anonymous - October 2, 2008 10:38 PM
looks like a 3 way between a motor getting fucked by a puma, and then hypothetically a jackass fucking a puma.
27. David - October 2, 2008 10:50 PM
@22 As much as I love that song, I think we should keep the nonsense posts limited to "Never Back Down".
Which, for the record, is awesome.
Also, that bike is ridiculous. They should have made it a walrus or something.
Oh shit, a walrus jet-ski, who's gonna make it?
28. Ash - October 2, 2008 10:56 PM
if you go to a movie theater and somebody steps on your foot, let it slide. Why spend the next 20 years in jail cuz someone smudged your puma.
Remember!
No matter what a stripper tells you, there's no sex in the champagne room. None. Oh theres champagne in the champagne room, but you dont want champagne, you want sex, and theres no sex in the champagne room.
29. LSDiesel - October 3, 2008 12:34 AM
No sex in the Champagne room? What kind of fast food restaurant is this?
30. Ginormagantuan - October 3, 2008 1:22 AM
this shit is not art!
31. dr.jayfer - October 3, 2008 1:51 AM
no it's art, but a horrible ripoff and bad idea. Seriously if your going to charge half a mil for something make it something original not something you jacked off a jaguar.
stop thinking about jacking off jaguars sickos
32. Anya - October 3, 2008 2:21 AM
You'd all (those who hump) be singing a different tune if that was a woman propped on there instead of a fiberglass jaguar. Get on, or else it's the Champagne room for you!!
33. Anya - October 3, 2008 2:27 AM
Oh! Sorry for all those who'd hump a guy.... anybody can be propped on there, even a corpse... ew...
34. Keanan - October 3, 2008 2:38 AM
Look at this amazing video that happened in Kitimat http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GjrI5ELkj3Y
35. kennydude - October 3, 2008 2:52 AM
22 - haha wicked - i dig that song
also i want this fuckin bikeee
36. assbastard - October 3, 2008 5:02 AM
If the intention was to make a mean-looking, non-homoerotic bike, then I'd say FAIL.
37. ExZ - October 3, 2008 7:46 AM
thats not worth 500k you could have that custom made for under 100k, its just fiberglass.
38. you know who - October 3, 2008 8:13 AM
Would look better with that big titty bitch sitting on that bike with her titties flopping out. all lubed up and wet looking
39. James - October 3, 2008 8:52 AM
wow i'm surprised that nobody else mentioned this... but in the first picture that really gold exhaust pipe looks like a giant cat dong piercing.
...ooooooh ok now i know why nobody else mentioned it.
40. tochirov - October 3, 2008 8:54 AM
we can't stop here, this is cat country. whao!!
41. john - October 3, 2008 9:19 AM
and i thought the hemroids on my ass were bad
42. Jerre - October 3, 2008 9:19 AM
It's the emblem of a jaguar before the new xf
43. Uncle Eccoli - October 3, 2008 9:35 AM
Of COURSE it's a Buell. Horrible.
It would be nearly impossible to ride - just have a look at the geometry of the seating position. The pegs are mounted to the rear hub, for fuck's sake! Low, forward, squared-up bars - you're back would have to bend backwards. I do like the turn indicators on the bar ends, though.
44. poop - October 3, 2008 9:37 AM
stupidest motorcycle ever. let's get a beer this weekend.
45. Turd Ferguson - October 3, 2008 10:19 AM
Yikes!!
I can appreciate the artistic ability involved but a Buell as the base???
I guess he doesn't count on anyone ever riding it very far.
It would be cool if the cats eyes were laser beams.
pew! pew! pew!
46. Brianna - October 3, 2008 10:36 AM
omigoodness, it's like Voltron! ahhhh i want it
47. LSDiesel - October 3, 2008 10:38 AM
@40, nice fear and loathing reference :)
48. Jo Mama - October 3, 2008 10:55 AM
Whatever, I saw Al Sharpton riding this to work last week.
49. AnTmAn - October 3, 2008 11:07 AM
simply wow..............."come here kitty kitty kitty.......OH S4!7!!!"
50. sirrix - October 3, 2008 11:13 AM
No one notices where the foot pegs and brake/gear shifter are?
You literally have to sprawl yourself out to even drive the fucking thing. It looks like you have to place your balls directly on the gas tank. Fun.
51. Uncle Eccoli - October 3, 2008 12:10 PM
Nope, no one.
52. Ender - October 3, 2008 12:15 PM
Ride the Sex-panther
53. lowbot - October 3, 2008 6:23 PM

Oh.
Damn.
54. Madzay - October 7, 2008 11:19 PM

Mummy, Mummy, Mummy, can i get one??!!!??!!!??!?!?!?!?!
55. GHynson - November 19, 2008 1:47 PM
Show of hands,..

Common, don't be shy,..
Anybody?
