Love this video. I am proud of you guys making this idea a reality. Hope to own one someday.
I am obsessed with this company
Such great content. I wish I wasn’t so behind - just discovered Janus. Cannot wait to get one !!! I am a Midwest boy too.
Welcome! Come check out the shop sometime!
"We believe in small displacement". No truer words spoken.
Your right. You bring the past into the future ❤❤❤
As a Vespa rider and US small manufacturer and inventor, I say Kudos to you and keep on going! I love what you are doing.
From small town Indiana to a Janus featured episode on JAY LENO’s GARAGE. These guys are doing something right. I bet that they are being pushed to build a 400cc? Maybe a 650cc by fans of Janus. Everyone seems to want bigger like boat ownership, the Jeep, etc.
I was absolutely 100% sold when I saw the small town, hand built, made to order fabricating process. I was a bit disappointed when I saw the engine was foreign though; it may or may not be a great engine idk but for me it took away from the excitement I had for your small town community build process. That being said; your building absolutely stunning bikes and I fell in love with them the second I saw them then even more so when I saw the video of your stories. I truly wish you well now and hopefully in the future.
There are no manufacturers of small displacement motorcycle engines in the US. If they were to make it themselves, it would most likely more than double the price of the bike.
This is just AWESOME news for those of us who love the old school motorcycles from the 1920's-1940's! A light, get around machine that fulfills the role that the DKW motorcycles of Germany used to fill. I'd love to see more designs from Janus, including cafe racer styles and others. Wonderful work guys !
i love the design and to think these are cg based engine which where I come from are workhorse engines for transporting, man. awesome awesome concept!
Thank you!
I wish I owned one of these
I hope you guys do well, it's easy to see your passion for motorcycles and those bikes look fantastic, well done.
Talked with you guys at the 2020 Cleveland IMS yesterday. What a friendly and knowledgeable crew! This was the first I've heard of Janus Motorcycles. I immediately fell in love with the Halcyon, such a beautiful machine! Hoping to be able to pick one up in the near future. Love what you guys are doing and wish you the best!!
Love that you chose leading link forks. Matchless simplicity and value in them.
I just wanna say I have absolutely no experience with motorcycles, but I saw one of these and fell in love. It made me want to learn to ride, and I want one so bad. I plan on getting one of these and I am so excited!
Best of luck to Janus, I'm not a motorcycle guy but I can appreciate their commitment to clean, simple design. These bikes are beautiful.
I live in Los Angeles, I would love to buy the Halcyon 250. Question though, where could I go to have the Janus motorcycle serviced or for parts? Would these motorcycles pass California emissions?
now that's old school cool and you came about at the right time I don't think this would have worked twenty five years ago .
Hmmm......I'm sold. Your attention to detail really shows, these are incredibly beautiful bikes!
I love it. Especially if it is affordable. I like the old school look, open and simplistic. No aerodynamic plastic covers. It should be a simple bike to wrench on when wrenching time comes. Simple riding pleasure.
If you think 8k-9k after interest is affordable for a 250cc, sure
N the main thing is that it's American made
Simply beautiful looking machines
It's great to hear your story.
Sweet! Brilliant you guys! All the best to you and your business.
Absolutely love what you guys are doing! I will own a Janus at some point. I love different and unique. That's what led me to my old ural. Keep up the good work!!!
We just saw the video from Chad and Tara " Changing Lanes" We love what you are doing. these would be great race bikes in the USCRA and AHRMA. i hope they develop a class for these.
That would be lovely! We would love to see these on a track some day.
I hope to have the opportunity to purchase one of these beautiful machines in the not so distant future. The concept is wonderful, the craft is thoughtful, and the riding experience appears to be empyreal.
Love everything you guys represent hope to own one of your bikes soon
I really dig this style. I’ve never been to attracted to motorcycles but this design catches my eye.
Thanks :)
Wow a modern-day Harley and Davidson. I believe the Janus has a spirited style from the soul of the golden age of the American motorcycle in its' beginning from which took the world by storm till this day, Freedom on two wheels an essence felt so easily and so inviting because of such a barebones old school concept in build . Love the Phoenix.
I don’t know why but I think I’ve fallen in love with the look of this bike. And the fact it’s made in America (mostly) just makes it that much better
I really impressed with Janus motorcycles. Please sell them in Indonesia !
Intelligent and likes to work with his hands? Must be a thing with us Devins.
nice! Just nice! Pure Zen.
Just absolutely love what you’re doing! Creative and inspiring. I wish I would have got involved with something like this when I was young. See you in Savannah, hopefully.
Thanks, Richard! Hope to see you there.
Amazing.
The only problem is I cant decide between the cafe or the scrambler :(
scrambler
Excellent, I love them, cool style, they going to sale, like hot bread. 👍🏼😎
Young people who love to work with their hands ! You don't see that much anymore , everyone wants to be a lawyer now a days ! God luck to you people .
Please, please, please produce a kit!
i herd and saw for some reason the key vibrates really bad ru going to change that mabe move it under seat? and do u have different front and rear sprocket options for those of us that want to change those and also i herd that you guys r going to be getting bigger engines? is that true and if so what size? please respond.
If I could i'd buy all 3 but i'd have to go for the Gryffin.
I love your motorcycles, they are beautiful and of course I want one.
So I went to your web site and much to my dismay, they are expensive, why?
Has anyone in Alabama bought one yet? I love the old school hard tail . I am like a blind dog in a meat house when deciding on a color. lol
Why not a V Twin? Keeping with the old time look and feel in an L head or F head configuration?
Are you guys going to be at the IMS this year in chicago?
Please do make a "Police"/"Law Enforcer" Edition.
from Philippines. Cheers!
Is that Patrick stump from fall out boy?
Would you ever sell the JM-P01?
Are the engines made in China?
Yes, you can read in depth on our blog about why we use this engine and how it fits Janus perfectly.
Your bikes are fantastic.how many of your fine american pounds are they?and where do you sell them?
Thanks, Stephen! They weigh around 260lbs and currently we sell them direct from our HQ in Goshen, IN.
Is 250cc the biggest motor you use? I'm not yalking about a 1000cc but around 500cc? There are people out there like me that likes the looks of your bike but the engine size is to small. I'm 6'5" 350...
Hello! Yes, we do hear that often. The 250 line is all we currently manufacture. If you're ever in the area stop by and give one a test ride.
@@janusmotorcycles Any performance mods available?
For an American made bike, its too British-like in design. Cafe racer comes to mind. How's 229cc considered a 250cc bike? Seeing the two little girls riding and laughing in the sidecar had put a smile on my face.
The bikes look great, wish you all the luck , I understand that you make them by order and their are coasts involved, I myself would not be willing to pay the price for your bikes, you can buy a Royal Enfield for the same money get a classic bike and a lot more bike, and soon R.E. is coming out with their 650 parallel Twin, for about the same price, I do understand you are a small company with coasts involved, good luck in your business, again think your bikes look awesome!
Royal Enfield does not look like these bikes.
Thanks! There are a lot of other great bikes out there. We've owned some R.E.s before too.
Chinese motor. Cannot do it guys. American made product who's primary component is Chinese?
Should be reliable. Has a hinda engine
It says "Honda Inspired" engine...not a Honda engine..it's made in China.....wish they would use a quality motor...
@@chucklundi2198 We are very happy with the quality of our motor. It has exceeded our expectations and never let us down, even riding from San Francisco to New York city in 6 days. You can read more about why we use this engine on our blog.
Honda
Just a dam shame about the Chinese engines :/ is it that hard to build a quality engine?
yes, or they would be doing it
You're right, It's not that hard. Our engine is a quality engine! You can read more about why we use these engines on our blog.
Please manufacture your engines in USA and not China. This was a deal breaker for me.
