    I'm 66 years old, riding bikes since I was 15. You brought back some old memories for me when you talked about the temp drop in spots on backroads. One smell that I still enjoy is a freshly cut hayfield. Really enjoyed watching your video. Sooner or later you will probably decide to up grade to a larger bike, everybody does. I would still hang on the Janus bikes though, they look like a fun bike to ride. I ride a Kawasaki Z650 myself.

    Congratulations on getting out and enjoying life on two wheels.
    Motorcycle safety course was the best move y’all could have made starting this new chapter of your life!!!!

    I currently have a BMW. On the highway it's great. In a parking lot it's like and elephant seal. As soon as I get it paid off Janus here I come.

    The Janus is certainly a nice choice. The leading link is lovely because of the inherent anti-dive properties and mechanical toughness. The Honda-design CG counterbalanced pushrod 235cc engine makes about the right amount of power to unobtrusively move you along the backroads, the most interesting riding there is. The CG also has low maintenance requirements and high durability under adverse conditions, also a very good thing. In my experience, 20 HP machines are a really nice balance of adequate power, low mass and good handling. Plus, they don't mechanically digest themselves and burn thru tires. They provide daily driver backroad fun whilst being able to serve as a micro-tourer if desired. They're comfortable, durable and fully capable of multi-week doddles as they just transport you about without needing much more that a daily spritz of chain lube. Well done Terry & Mark - now get some soft luggage, pack a rain suit, underwear, socks & a credit card & go walkabout!

    Great testimonial! I liked them and am surprised at how cool the Janus are. It's always good to see someone new discover two wheels and all that can mean.

    I love that a regular couple each got one...love the dogs, books, acknowledgement that they are sort of eccentric in their tastes.
    They seem to "get it" and understand the axiom of the journey being more significant than the destination.

    Glad you are enjoying your bikes, I have had many motorcycles. But the idea of a lightweight bike
    Where you can safely move about without going to the gym ,
    But the main thing is riding round at a lower speed you have time see things around and really enjoy the ride
    I am in UK But hoping I will be able to buy one someday
    Keep safe

    Fantastic. Not unlike my motorcycle odyssey after my stroke last year at 60. It really gets your endorphins going doesn't it?! And I've got a nice little CB500X which is more than plenty for me. Constantly worrying about dropping a huge Africa Twin or GS isn't my idea of fun. I'd love something like a Halcyon if I can get it past the Financial secretary at home! Greetings from Wales!

    I'd love to test ride one at some point. I'm in a life-long relationship with my H-D FXDL but these small cc offerings from Janus look like a blast. If I had the flow I already know the color scheme and accoutrements I'd choose. It would look great next to my Bug Smasher!

    This is a testimonial, not a review. I love the look of Janus motorcycles and plan on buying a Halcyon 450 in the spring. But this is just two people talking about themselves. It’s not a review.

    The industry needed this because many of the younger generations don't have the interest in bikes like the Boomer's do. There have been quite a few articles written how production for the main stream bikes has dropped off. These are less intimidating for the new riders yet have the distinction of the past.
