Janus Motorcycles

[andrewlk]

Any of you heard of Janus? They are a startup here in Indiana, just got production going. Their stuff is all original, hand built to my knowledge. They're starting with 2-strokes and heading 4-stroke eventually (EPA). Thought I'd do what I can to get their name out there...

Future model.

I really like the Paragon, are they all going to be scooters? I think their next model should be the "Hugh" .

They're all small displacement. But you'd be surprised what their 50cc stuff will do...they tune them to get 25+hp which is a very respectable power to weight ratio. I think some will be in the 250cc range down the road.

Before they started the motorcycle company they organized a moped gang and had open shop space where you could pay a small membership fee to use the space and tools. Guys would port/polish/punch out their vintage mopeds and put chambers on them.

It's something else to see one of those tiny things scream by at 80+ let along a group of 5 or 6 of them.
