Barend Hemmes, a designer by training, creates the Jaguar motorcycle. It has nothing to do with the car brand, but it has a lot of similarities with the silhouette and head of this predator. It turns out that this solution is not very practical, but the bike definitely attracts attention and makes people stop and wonder.
The author of the development assures that this is a tribute to Jaguar. However, it is not specified whether it is specifically a tribute to the automobile brand of luxury and expensive cars, or to the beast of the cat family, which is considered the largest and strongest representative of this family.
It took Hemes ten years to create his "jaguar", called Night Shadow. The designer is aware that the motorcycle is impractical for long and distant cruises. However, he is a frequent guest at various shows and exhibitions in London, where he basks in attention. His riding around the English capital also did not go unnoticed.
According to the experts at American Chopper, there is an entire motorcycle subculture dedicated to the production of such bikes. The best stories about the creation of the most amazing motorcycles are even broadcast on the Discovery Channel and attract millions of viewers.
It is not known for certain if Hemmes' Jaguar bike made it to the ratings channel. However, his bike really looks strange, a bit menacing because of the open mouth of the “beast“. Despite its 15-year-old age, the motorcycle has not lost its drivability and to this day delights the owner.
