Or, move over Harley & Ural, there's another bike for those seeking attention, and slowing down the lunch line..
Attention whores unite
 
The scrambler model would be good loaded on the back of an RV

I would imagine this bespoke poser stuff costs way too much.
 
I'd bet my TR44W would eat it for lunch. I was clocked at 94 MPH on it after I wore it out with 15 years of hard riding and abuse. They call 360 lbs. with a 445 cc engine lightweight?

Maybe bicycle pedals are an option to get it up to speed. :)
 
Instead of the snarky criticism of bicycle pedals and poser stuff...

I would offer a different opinion.
From an introductory/marketing perspective, as CC noted, garnering attention and slowing down the lunch line is exactly what they intended.
Many, including me, have a lot of admiration for a builder/startup out of the midwest coming up with a unique offering of their own bike designs and taking a swing at realizing some success from their ideas and ambitions. It takes a lot of time, hard work, serious ambition and capital to reach the level of accomplishment Janus has.
More power to them and hope they find success with their biz ambitions and visions.

Good find Concours...interesting biz perspective/bikes/website they have.

...it found me, on a magazine ad, back page of Motorcycle Classics.
Pretty sure Janus has sold 6 or 7 of their first model.
Maybe they'll sell ten.

Instead of not being able to stay in your own lane and be a arrogant arse you could just add your positive nonsense and save the world one message at a time.

Maybe, with that design platform they're looking for a buyers niche like so many others.

There's a review on YouTube of one of their models that goes into a tank slapper at a legal speed.

I have been unable to find the link mentioned of the specific Janus brand, could you post it?
There are a boatload of videos showing death wobble on a wide range of brands/motorcycles spanning back many years.
There was a video display of a poor braking - front end setup on one Janus model.

I have no intention of endorsing this motorcycle, how could I having never even ridden one.
Same principle applies, for me anyway, towards criticism.
 
I actually like it, but would have no use for it whatsoever, mostly because I'm aging out though. That said it would make a good show bike for people that have a lot of social graces. I possess none.

I thought this was supposed to be a humor thread given the title.

Can't please everyone and would not want to try.

Thanks for an interesting post concours

That's a convincing video. Thanks to you for posting it.
Janus claims the steering geometry is being reconfigured, wss.
