More than a machine: A Janus Motorcycle

Sometimes a motorcycle is so beautiful, so perfect, it just stops you in your tracks.  The red Janus Gryffin in these photos does that for me.

Our good buddies at Janus Motorcycles make stunning motorcycles.  I rode their olive green Gryffin across northern Baja and it was a perfect machine, one I thought could not be topped.  Then I saw this red Gryffin that my good friend Richard posted on Facebook.  Folks, this is how a motorcycle is supposed to look.  This machine is more than a motorcycle. It evokes emotion. It’s art.

The motorcycle you see here is Gryffin No. 69 and it is magnificent.  Janus GM Richard tells us that “No special detail was left untouched…from the red painted side panels, red wheel pinstripes, and black handlebars, this Gryffin just hits different.”  Indeed it does.
