Who is Cayser Soze?
He is supposed to be Turkish.
Some say his father was German.
Nobody believed he was real.

Retro Indian '47
Great looking bike... "The bike has a vintage pushbike theme, with its wide pull back bars, curved frame rails and mid mount foot controls that forces the rider to be transported mentally, back to the past" Shane says. More beautiful photos and details on Shane's Indian-Retro47 blog.
Francis Barnett Motorcycles
Francis Barnett, an old English motorcycle manufacturer based in Coventry and specializing in frames made from “triangulated straight tubes”. Being a fan of old faired-engine motorbikes their flagship offering in the late 1930s was an incredible-looking 250cc two-stroke single that is noted in the history books as one of the first ever motorbikes to sport an engine fairing.

Red Deus
Have you ever seen a cleaner hardtail than this modified Kawasaki W650 from Deus Ex Machina? It’s not until you view the seat and rear fender top down you really appreciate how ridiculously simplified this bike is. There’s literally nothing extraneous anywhere on it, but Deus is still able to hide surprise-and-delight touches like the speedo tucked in just in front of the seat.
