In 2011, a new Janus Motorcycles company was found in Goshen, Indiana. It specializes in the manufacturing of motorcycles with the stylistics of the 20s-30s of the last century (the vintage motorcycles). Halcyon 50 was the first model. Engineers don`t attempt to make the full replicas of vintage motorcycles, but just get inspired by such renowned old brands of vehicles as Indian, Triumph and so on. That is why firm`s motorcycles look rarity but also are characterized by technologically modern stuff inside. Perhaps the enterprise`s name was created this way: Janus means two-faced (retro & modern). Devin Biek and Richard Worsham are the founders of the company. Devin Biek has a great experience working with low-cubature engines. In addition, apart from Janus he releases tuning for mopeds. Working staff of the company is small, there are only 5 specialists engaged in producing of frames and fuel tanks. Other motorcycle`s equipment and works (fenders, machining, chrome plating, etc.) are made by other local firms.
Nowadays the company releases only 2 vintage motorcycle models: Janus Halcyon 250 and Janus Phoenix 250. The Janus logotype consists of 2 joint signs unfolded in different sides and resembling the letter “J”. And it all is surrounded by a laurel wreath. On right, you can see the name of the company (“Janus”) made in the Optima font.
