    We met Pete at the owner's rally last year. He's one of the coolest guys we've ever met!

    Pete is indirectly one of the best Janus salespeople I think you'll see after watching that vid. He gets the joy of riding. That is why I've been riding for over 60 years and waiting impatiently for my Halcyon 450 to arrive. He has riding in his blood and it is obvious. Instead of Gym Tan Laundry, I'd be Eat Ride Sleep. Having never met Pete, I still can tell he is as obsessed with riding as I am.

    I also met Pete briefly at last years owners rally and again this summer at Janus HQ were we got more acquainted and had lunch at the Olympia Candy Kitchen. He’s a genuine guy and a true bike rider who loves the open road as much as myself. His experience with the Janus family has been the same as mine so I can attest to everything said about their customer service.

    I have a motorcycle in the Philippines called Motorstar Cafe 400. It is built in China by Shineray motorcycles company. From 2000 to 2006 this model was built for Honda and was called CB400SS. The engine of my bike is almost indentical to the Halcyon engine. So I believe it is built by Shineray company as well. Bottom line it was designed by Honda. I paid $2500 for mine, brand new. Assembled in Philippines.
    Cannot believe that bike sells for $16K.

    Love my H250 #854, 3,500 miles and climbing. Most fun I’ve had on 2 wheels!

    I have seen a lot of people talk bad about these bikes, to see one with 43k on it is great. I have always liked the 450. Glad to see these bikes last. This would be a great bike to ride on the old 2 lane highways across country. I have a 2024 Suzuki DR650, if I had the room I would be getting one of these. Ride safe and keep us posted on how many miles that this bike goes.

    This was very helpful as someone who most likely will be a future customer. I always loved the hemi orange on the old mopars and Harleys, but I never really liked Harleys because they're just too big. I did talk to one of your sales or parts staff a little while ago about possibly obtaining a custom Halcyon 250 since it is a little more obtainable for me budget wise than the 450. And I'll I did come up with a killer paint scheme for it, I still have some thoughts about the design that might improve it. I call it the nightmare. As I am the scarecrow. So it seems fitting to call it as such🎃

    What ever happened to old field motorcycle co out of Long island NY those were cool bikes. I think they used choaler engines. V twin and singles. I think Janus should try different engine

      You mean the red bottle on the left side of the bike? That's a MSR fuel bottle. Great for carrying a small amount of gas just in case you run out or need just a bit more fuel to get to the next gas station. Their intended use is for camping related fuels, which of course, they're great for.

    Instead of using Chinese engines what a lot of people don,t like why not use royalenfield 350 and 500cc it fit in better with the old school looks

      My papa doesn’t need to find a job. He worked his ass off to get to where he is.He’s the sweetest amazing man ever. And he’s brave as hell. He’s been in more than three motorcycle accidents because people can’t pay attention to the road. He’s even lost a leg due to one of those accident. He can dress however he likes. Thank you have a great day !

      @melissaperez7487 If you'll notice it's in quotes. It's a line from the Big Lebowski. "The Dude" it's funny and had nothing to do with your father's state of employment.
