This press release from Janus Motorcycles came in a few minutes ago:
Goshen, IN — In celebration of ten years building classically inspired, lightweight machines, Janus Motorcycles is proud to announce the 10th Anniversary Edition Halcyon 250 and Phoenix 250 models—offering a rare opportunity for riders to own a piece of Janus history.
The Halcyon 250, Janus’ flagship model and a decade-long standard-bearer for accessible, elegant motorcycling, is joined once again by its rakish sibling: the Phoenix 250. Back by popular demand, this limited-production model pays homage to the café racers and GP machines of the 1960s and ’70s, with an aggressive stance, nimble handling, and a long, lean, Dunstall-inspired fuel tank. Offered only through July 4th, our Halcyon and Phoenix Anniversary Editions are the first to feature our new Super Chrome powder-coated frame—a brilliant, mirror-finish treatment that underscores the model’s raw, mechanical beauty.
Both Anniversary Editions include the following available options:
• Super Chrome powder-coated frames
• Special anniversary medallion logos on the airbox
• Silver-painted number plates
• Limited edition fuel caps
• Commemorative 10th Anniversary badge
“The Phoenix 250 has always held a special place in our workshop,” says Richard Worsham, Janus designer and CEO. “It’s an employee favorite. It’s lean and mean, and it distills what we’re about at Janus Motorcycles in a different way than our Halcyon line. We’re especially proud to see it return in this limited anniversary edition.”
Availability & Pricing
The Phoenix 250 is available for order through July 4th, 2025, at a price of $6,995. Customers can add anniversary edition options to their build a la carte.
The Halcyon 250 Anniversary Package can be added to any new Halcyon 250 order a la carte. Halcyon 250s start at $6,995.
Anniversary Promotion
To mark this milestone, Janus is also offering 10% off OR 1.99% financing for well-qualified buyers on standard Halcyon 250 or Gryffin 250 model. This promotional offer is valid through July 4th, 2025.
Janus Motorcycles stands for classic design, mechanical simplicity, and the joy of the ride. With this anniversary release, we’re celebrating not only a decade of craftsmanship—but the community of riders, builders, and ramblers who’ve made the journey with us.

I’ve got a special place in my heart for the Janus motorcycles. I like small bikes and I like what Janus is doing. We rode with Janus in Baja, and I wrote a Motorcycle Classics feature article on the Janus 450. They are cool bikes and the Janus team are great people.

Good stuff Janus! Glad they’re keeping it going. That green is as nice as Yoo-Hoo brown would be.
I’ve seen these motorcycles in Yoo Hoo brown. All of their colors look great.
Ummm….
A little too pricey . Plus Chinese motors.
With a Honda motor say, the 450 I could take seriously.
Are very nice motorcycles.
