Imo too much $$ for a 250. Cool looking for sure, but in the end it feels like they are trying too hard on too little of a platform. Kind of like putting a cedar shake roof on a crack house.

Mike, she adds sugar, baking powder, egg and vanilla extract...recipe is on back of the box. I'll have to try one of those you said. This year, Ill have time to eat at the lake. I'd better learn to make something other than eggs if I want to eat. Take out is 7 miles away..

Those Janus offerings are cool. I think I would add a Stage 1 kit.

I have to agree Bob-O. Fun for about 20 minutes, and then you're reminded it's a 'fricken 250 ! No dealer network doesn't help either - selling direct. Maybe dealers are in the future cards ?
I think they could sell to the "Woke" crowd.

I feel like Janus have been making the same old motorcycles for the past 115 years...

Maybe I should start building motorized bicycles and sell them locally to the "woke" crowd.

They're a finnicky bunch Al. You'll be in competition with Janus, used 1977 Sportsters, Livewires, and hover boards.
