Jaguar bike goes on sale for £290,000

Homemade special given sky-high price tag by ambitious owner

A £290,000 price tag. Is he having a laugh?

GOT £290,000 to chuck away? Well if you fancy owning a one-off Jaguar motorbike built by Lee J. Rowland then get your chequebook ready.

Complete with its own 'CAT 1' number plate the cat-shaped fibreglass motorcycle is powered by a 1200cc Buell 97 S3 Thunderbolt engine. Or you could own a Ducati Desmosedici, a Confederate Hellcat and still have £150,000 in your high-interest account. But who wants that when you can look like you're bumming a big cat as you head down some twisty country lanes?

Worth every penny, we reckon.

Not.

It's hideous.

Frankly Jaguar should take them to court for trademark infringement.  If that fails then for having zero taste.

£290 and then I would have to think twice about it.

The Information in this article is totally wrong and misleading.

 The Bike was actually built by Barend Massow Hemmes.

 The cost of the bike is actually very reasonable, at only £50,000 the remaining £240,000 is the cost the british government want for the Cat1 registration plate.

You could paint it green and have a he-man moment?

You'd still look like a daft cunt though
