Confederate. The workshop was founded in San Francisco in 1992 by Matthew Chambers and for 24 years has changed many cities and premises. Today it is essentially a small factory that produces motorcycles of its own design with a "circulation" of 20-40 copies. There are three models in the lineup, in the picture - Confederate G2 P51 Combat Fighter worth $ 125,000.
Manufacturing by hand, to order very beautiful motorcycles – is a very popular world trend, especially well developed in the US. Dozens of workshops make motorcycles stunning appearance and power, and own this – much steeper than even the most expensive production car.

In the photo – Saxon Villain, one of the main models of the workshop.Janus. The company makes motorcycles in the style of the 1920s – for fans of elegant retro. And relatively inexpensive – one of the two models of the workshop, Janus Halcyon 250 (pictured) starts at only $ 6000.Falcon.
