I am a real motorcycle noobie and been drooling over Janus motorcycles for about 4 years till I finally took the driver safety class and took order of the 450 which was delivered last week. It’s def a niche of nostalgia but where else are you going to get hand made small qty builds for that price from an established motorcycle company? It’s like owning a Time Machine that has a bullet proof enduro engine.

@@JosepBlas Josep: Thought I'd step in here. I run the Halcyon 250, and if I had the extra funds, I wouldn't hesitate to buy the 450. They are different experiences. The 250 is really nimble around town. When it is sitting still or parked, it's fun since so many people ask me about it. When it is moving, it is more enjoyable overall than the other bikes I owned. The company, unlike any other motorcycle company I know, talks directly to customers. I just called today with a question on a particular part's paint. Finally, learning how to perform all the service on the bike has made me a better biker since I know that everything is kept within specs.

I own a Janus 250 Halcyon and have put thousands of miles on it (overall, very reliable). Easy to work on, and the company encourages, though does not require, owners to do so (and it doesn't violate the warranty). The website shows how many parts are US-made (the percentage is higher than at least many Harleys). There are videos by one of the founders on why the engine was chosen--basically, no small-displacement engine made in the United States was appropriate. I can tell you that the engine here is very well-made, and once broken in is very difficult to break. Sure, one is buying the aesthetic, but I also am supporting an American company--and the employees really do have the values they articulate. Last, the bike is really fun to drive, which I do virtually every day. Jeff

Janus 450 is unique. Brough front end and Vincent rear suspension. Rides like a performance bike from the 20's and 30's. I have the GXSS 1000F and Scout so power not the object. All about the riding experience and this 450 delivers. Price stung through but was worth it.

I went and took a factory tour at Janus back in February. Very cool bikes, yes they have a Chinese Honda clone motor, but nearly everything else is made in house or from local machine shops.

I've actually seen a Janus and while too low-powered for my needs, they have that cool 'Silent Gray Fellow' early motorcycle vibe, and they are extremely well-made. Gotta give them that, however the single cylinder thing might work for British nostalgia fans (see new BSA Gold Star thumper), I wouldn't consider a Janus unless it had a vee-twin.

Janus certainly seem to be a popular wish list. I too love that extremely old school look. But at $14,000 for a 450, no phuking way. Picked up a 1979 honda cm400t just before winter. $1200. Just about back on the road as a brat tracker all up for less than 2k. So in the end bought myself a motorcycle and saved myself 12k.

I love that everyone's only complaint that Janus is single cylinder, making it less of motorcycle than their desires. Demanding a brand with niche marketing to put in engine that the more popular brand than they can be to compete, will be fastest way to kill it. So really everyone just wants a Harley? Or consider that for those who wants something actually different? Heh, some concept, lol
@SirOsisofLiver

I still get a kick out of my single cylinder 390 Duke. They're over $6k now and the only reason they're that cheap is mass production using cheap labour in India. It completely dig that Janus are hand made in the US, and more art than plebian mode of transportation. It's a different kind of fun from a Duke 390 or Z400, but still valid.
@Topher7527
@Topher7527 Год назад
The thing about Janus is that their bikes mostly resemble old V-twins to most people, like the Brough Superior SS100. Naturally, most people can't afford a real SS100 so they wish Janus would make a V-twin bike. Being that they can be optioned for over 15k, I can understand the thinking that a Chinese-sourced thumper isn't enough. Specially when the "Rolls-Royce of motorcycles", the SS100, cost 10.3k (adjusted for inflation) and was also hand built while being the fastest bike of its time. Hand built quality or not, 15k is a lot to ask for a bike that barely reaches highway speeds.
@SirOsisofLiver
@SirOsisofLiver Год назад
@@Topher7527 Other than having two wheels, it doesn't bear much resemblance at all to a Brough, and certainly to an SS100. It's much closer to something like a 1925 Norton, BSA or AJS single. A hand-built, American made, replica Brough would end up being a hell of a lot more expensive than this.

I own a Cleveland CycleWerks bike, called Tha Heist-Yes, they spelled it all edgy like that. It's a 125cc hardtail chopper that only costs a few grand new... Turns out to have been a good purchase, it's too cheap for Yammie to roast! Seriously though, the fact that a company in and named Cleveland has a hardtail... Cleveland is made of potholes and cracks in the asphalt, riding this thing anywhere in the city is like playing Temple Run in real life, and you feel like a badass for surviving a ride! It's the worst, most satisfying bike ever, and easy to repair and modify, which is the point-it's a bottom-dollar chopper!

If Lameass Spooge is riding a modern pro-level carbon fiber bike, which may cost 20K or way more, or even an E-bike, your outdated claptrap, deathtrap would have a hard time keeping up down that same hill. I was clocked at 55mph back in 1984 as Junior USCF rider(age 16). My parents had to back off in their car because it was too fast! Old tech, especially tires and brakes are just dangerous.

Long time Cleveland owner. I'll say, it's a good bike. But the dealer network is shit. They require proper setup. I will say this to, and it is a very harsh and unfortunate situation. 250CCS IS JUST NOT ENOUGH DISPLACEMENT. I have several videos on my channel. You can see where it drops to under 40 mph trying cross a mountain. however in a big city, it would be a brilliant motorcycle to have. The CG based Honda motor is Bulletproof. I've owned also a Chinese dirt bike with the same motor and it is fantastic. Those little Chinese clones just are not enough on the highway.

My dad used to sell parts for a distributor in the '70s. I recall several times going with him to different motorcycle shops. It was always perplexing why there were pieces of oil stained cardboard underneath all the brand new Harley-Davidsons...

My dad actually refuses to ride any Harley newer than the AMF Harley’s, he loves them, and still has the two he bought new in the 70’s. I can attest that they are not nearly as bad as a lot of people say, people that bad mouth the AMF bikes have probably never even ridden one. They just go off what they’ve been told. I’ve only ridden them myself a handful of times, but every time I do, I can feel the quality of the American steel in those bikes, it’s hard to explain but I don’t get the same feeling from my modern bikes. His shovelhead didn’t start leaking oil until the early 90’s which is pretty good for how much he’s ridden it, (probably had around 60k miles at that time) and his ironhead sportster I think he said only started leaking oil late 90’s. The only real problem I’ve seen while riding with him, is occasionally something will vibrate loose, and fall off, and I’ll have to turn around to go retrieve it. To be fair though periodically checking torque on fasteners is part of the maintenance on a motorcycle, especially a HD that vibrates.

They could have gotten an engine like a Buell blast from s&s and then they would have an American motor that would have excellent aftermarket availability for parts and accessories as well as the pride of having an American engine. Myself I think the motorcycles would look much better would just Suzuki Savage 650 engine in them.

I see your on a Triumph, good choice. I own a 09 ultra classic, a BMW Grand America and a 19 Triumph T120 that I love. I checked out the Janus because it reminded me of the early HD’s but with a Communist China engine and a 15K sticker and it’s a hardtail I ask why would anyone lay out their hard earned cash for one when you can get a Triumph. Nice job it was a very honest vid. TY

Cleveland motorworks USA tried selling their bikes in India but no1 even cared to look at it after hearing the price and specs . Even 200cc single cylinder sporty nakeds make 19 to 25hp and they are refined, reliable,feature loaded and fun to ride too in India . Cleveland motorworks were really dead on arrival in India 🤣. And this was couple of years back, now people are moving to RE and whatever brand they want if they have the purchasing power.

To go back to the Janus video... If you want to feel an old school bike, wouldn't you just buy an older Japanese bike They have carburetors too and no safety features or riding features at all... If you want to feel old school, buy a first generation. SV650
