The ExhaustNotes post today has two videos, and both are from Janus Motorcycles<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Janus checks all of the boxes for us:\u00a0 Small displacement, custom crafted, ultra-high quality, hand-built-in-America motorcycles. \u00a0 What I found especially intriguing is that one of the Janus founders, Richard Worsham, rode his 250cc motorcycle across the United States. \u00a0 That, my friends, is extremely cool (it’s downright inspirational, in my opinion).\u00a0 It grabbed my attention because long trips on small-displacement motorcycles to demonstrate reliability is one of the things we did when I was at CSC Motorcycles.\u00a0 It’s a brilliant strategy.<\/p>\n

We’ll be telling you more about the Janus line in the future, but one of the things I’ll mention up front is that Janus uses an overhead valve CG-clone engine, which is probably the most-frequently-used engine on the planet.\u00a0 My experience with these engines has been that they are bulletproof, and I say that because I’ve put tons of miles on them. \u00a0 They’re easy to maintain, as they should be.\u00a0 That’s what Honda had in mind when they designed the CG engine.<\/p>\n

So, enough yakking.\u00a0 Let’s get to the videos.\u00a0 First, the ride across the United States…<\/p>\n
