Ride for thrills.
The Janus Phoenix 250 is a proud descendant of the quick, lightweight, and agile cafè racers and Grand Prix bikes of the mid-1900s. With a slender stance and aggressive rake, it carves city streets with ease and rockets nimbly through the countryside. Stripped away is any superfluous feature; the peppy, bulletproof engine and simple controls remain. The Phoenix is properly powered to provide heart-pumping thrills in an everyday setting, with a timeless style that turns heads whether it’s parked at the local cafè or racing down your favorite country road.

Small Shop Craftsmanship
Hand-built with precision and care
You don’t need loud pipes to turn heads with the Phoenix 250. We’ve built our business around keeping the human element in each motorcycle, merging the best of custom building with modern manufacturing. The result is a motorcycle that avoids the quirks and pitfalls of custom one-offs, but retains its one-of-a-kind soul in a market of one-of-a-million machines. Heart and soul are built into every Phoenix 250.
Classic Design
Inspired by the best motorcycling in history
The Phoenix 250 is no replica, but its design is inspired by the some of the best in motorcycling history. Starting with the classic featherbed frame, the Phoenix eschews extra plastic and bodywork while taking classic styling cues from the british cafe racer tradition and the Grand Prix bikes of the 50’s and 60’s. Our builders’ touch is noticeable throughout, from the hand-formed aluminum tank, to the hand-bent and welded frame, to the pinstripes.
Properly Powered
Perfect Pairing of Size and Power
Small, lightweight motorcycles have distinct advantages over the over-powered, unwieldy, and large motorcycles that are so popular today. The Phoenix weighs 265 pounds, and our single-cylinder 229cc motor provides the get-up-and-go the nimble Phoenix needs. Modern disc brakes and stainless brake lines provide incredible stopping power. The result is a perfect pairing of size and power that gives riders exactly what they need for the kind of riding they love most.
