Why Janus Motorcycles?

Part One: Small Bikes

Let’s get right to the burning question on social media: “Why is it only a 250?”

Let us answer that question with another question: “When was the last time you redlined your 15,000cc cruiser in 5th gear?” or “How often do you go 120mph?” In other words, we set out to build a bike that would be perfectly sized for the vast majority of the riding we love to do....

Why Janus Motorcycles?

Part Two: Small Business

Janus Motorcycles is—in some respects—a small business out of necessity (just like any start-up manufacturer), and while we’re growing and growing, we’re not married to the idea of un-ending growth. Part of what makes us excited to do what we do each day is that each member of our small team has their hands on our motorcycles and a connection with our customers....

Why Janus Motorcycles?

Part Three: Classic is Current

From our manufacturing standards, to our choice of motor (which we’ll come to later in the series), to our style, we want to build a product that will look great and perform wonderfully for many many years.

Why Janus Motorcycles?

Part Five: What are you paying for?

We, as a small business, operate in the global economy, and the motorcycle market is full of massive manufacturers that make incredible products at a low price. How do we compete? In a competitive market, our size—both in CC’s and units shipped—helps us make our customers happy and our motorcycles uniquely remarkable… and also more expensive....

"I Love the look of the bike - classic & antique."

Janus is a young company competing in a big market, but you guys have a great passion for what you do. Anyone looking for something fresh and different, a Janus is a strong contender. When riding my Halcyon I truly feel I am riding something special, a bike I am sure will become a classic.
