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.

"Very satisfied with the entire Janus Motorcycles experience"

A great effort has been made by friends at Janus to provide excellent help and personal direction. Parts are well made with more than a bit of aesthetic artfulness. Janus Motorcycles has outperformed all other companies that I have ever experienced, standing behind their product in every regard.
