Janus American Motorcycles’ design and manufacturing process involves small production runs in northern Indiana, focusing on the highest level of quality and performance. This approach mandates a motorcycle different from other production motorcycles made today. While much of the motorcycle industry is focused on reaching the lowest common denominator in cost and design, Janus Motorcycles aim to achieve the closest fit possible between the reality of manufacturing and the ideal of design. Our manufacturing process also ensures a fundamental simplicity of operation and maintenance.

Janus motorcycles are not replicas. Classical in the sense that they’re inspired by the best of what’s come before, they are contemporary, practical machines that celebrate the art of motorcycle design over the last century. Clean lines, durable materials, modern advancements, and a tasteful finish define our motorcycles: not chrome, plastic, or science fiction.

The freedom motorcycling provides is best understood on a small, lightweight machine. The rider observes a more powerful sensation of speed and direct connection with the road and landscape than on heavier & higher-powered motorcycles common today. We are building machines for men and women who love the freedom, joy, and mobility that a motorcycle allows.

Janus Motorcycles tap into the essence of motorcycling—freedom. Unencumbered by superfluous features, unnecessary weight, and overwrought decoration, each Janus is an understandable machine both functionally and aesthetically.

If millions of people are saying the same thing, is it still making a statement?  Janus Motorcycles don’t have to shout to be heard. They’re different beasts. Light and nimble, Janus Motorcycles are designed to provide a singular sense of speed and connection to the road. They’re made to be enjoyed and understood.
