Massow Concept Cycles is the brainchild of design guru Barend Massow Hemmes.
The concept of designing motorcycles based on iconic corporate logos was for many years a concept which lived on paper. Barend set about transforming his paper vision into a working reality. 3 years later, with expert help from Polar Cycles, the Jaguar motorbike was finally completed and Massow Concept Cycles was founded.
The Jaguar Motorcycle had its debut in 2008 at the Bulldog Biker Bash in Swindle UK and has since received much attention worldwide. His collection of drawings takes in the likes of Audi, Ferrari, Bentley Rolls Royce, Coke Cola and many more. The latest edition to form part of the collection is designed to represent a Charging Bull.
The Ebay is a good 'time-pass' website, just having a look at the motorcycles, some bizarre, a lot of oohs and aahs, some real stunners and many 'Wow!' and still there will be the occasional 'What!'. The US and UK sites usually have the motorcycles with a hefty price tag. There are some other interesting places like Germany and Japan, but usually these two US (and Canada has the same listing) and UK has a lot to offer. Most of the high priced bikes are custom ones, you know the typical customs, long tank, single sided swing arm, elongated handlebars which after some time, all the models look just the same. I have featured here some original bikes and also custom bikes but custom as in the sense of real custom, not those hand painted choppers. Well, happy bidding in case if you are bidding for any of the bikes.
Well, well, well, we all have seen it and been in awe of it. Yes, this is the same Ferrari motorcycle, the one and only, which we probably all would like to own it even if it means killing someone! Since for us normal human beings, it is beyond our reach. Listed at the UK eBay site, there is no bidding period, so you do have the time to still rob some banks and accumulate the asking and final price of £249,991, that is $368,630.
MV Agusta honcho David Kay requested Enjo Ferrari's son, Piero to build a one-off motorcycle under the Ferrari badge. The bike will be built by David Kay in honour of the senior Ferrari and he wanted permission to use the Ferrari badge. Of course he was granted. this was in 1990. The bike was built finaly in 1995. It has a 900cc transverse, double overhead camshaft, four cylinder, eight valve unit with magnesium and alloy casings, driven through a five speed gearbox to a top speed of 265 kmph. I am sure that you have seen it a hundred times but if you still want more information, just google it.
