I really like the look of the Moto Guzzi's. I really like the idea of a shaft drive.

A true work of art- a friend at university had one-old even then- as with all old Brit bikes a swine to start, if it didn't launch you into orbit- but real stump pulling power

The good old days when motorcycle racing teams were sponsored by tobacco companies!!

The only thing I don't love about the Guzzi's is the rear brake and the gear shift lever look the same. I want my brake peddle to have a little more meat to it...and not look like the shifter. It's a nit-picky thing. I had a V7 for a while. They're great bikes.

Ive been building british bikes for decades now ,i would love to work at this place the scenery etc and look like nice people. Tim from england

What painiers are those? How big?

Love this bike. Just got my dads old '92 1100 and I'm working on getting it running again after it sat for 9 years

Cheap Chinese motor (probably lifan)... rear shock absorbers in the front...parts stolen from various motorcycles and put up together to look like an antique 1920s motorcycle. utter rubbish.

That bike loves the mountain roads . And country roads . It is a bunch of fun bike

My good friend bought one new in the 70s. He kept it in his living room. Lost touch with him, so don’t know if he still has it. Peter Williams built the very limited edition monocoque framed models and they were pretty successful in road racing. Thanks for the nice video.

Well done for riding that !! Knuckles on the ground and backside in the air- real racing machine-at least in layout. Fascinating to see all these old bikes that I-from the UK- recognise.

I had a 75 JPS here in Iowa the front wheel come up effortlessly on the 1st to 2nd shift like all 850s and with a bit of slipping the 2nd to 3rd shift as well , tested by Iowa State Patrol Radar we did 2 runs top speed , I got 158 and my buddy the Patrol officer got 160 , he was 6 foot 9 and I think he filled the fairing better blocking out the gap and drag , a few years later Honda advertised the Hurricane as the fastest production Motorcycle in history at 159 mph , I kept mine about 5 years mostly as a living room bike but let it go for a down payment on a house .......... Thanks Keith

Looks like a motorcycle that you would see on The Jetsons!

Fuzzy: Post the prices,......the people want to know.

The only bike in modern times that looks similar was the short lived R9T Racer. Also a lay down on the tank bike. Funny how after they don't sell, that is when the popularity of it happens. 👍👍

I didn't know about these until I saw one on Jay Leno's Garage a few years ago. I've heard you use the word "rakey" a couple times. I know what rake is, but what does rakey mean?

I am surprised that single fixing primary cover with separate rudder seal didn’t catch on on other bikes and cases. Maybe some would need two or three fixings because you can’t always put one in the middle.

Never liked how they charge so much money for the swap meet.

Good morning Fuzzy. I remember the name John Player well from the early 70'sas I had a 750 roadster. Really likin my meteor 350. Very comfortable riding these days (I'm 76) on the back roads around Fort Collins, Co. Have a great day back there and thanks for all your efforts making these videos.

So basically this rides like a scooter?

Is this a diesel conversion of an Enfield India Bullet 500? And in the US? Oh my.

I had a T100R 1973 model, i bought it new when i was 18, still have great memories of that bike.

Nice to see you in Ohio I’m up about 85 miles north of there Small town of Willard

Iv seen them but never rode one say be OK if the engine will hold up I know some china made engines are hit and miss might get a good one or a dud

It is amazing what the Wiseco pistons do for the RE 650s; the 83.5mm give it close to 60hp (my 2020 Interceptor) and the 90mm pistons give it high 60's, usually around 68hp. It becomes an entirely different motorcycle with an increase of between 30-45 percent additional horsepower and torque.

Brilliant bikes! I stopped at my local biker cafe today and an older guy arrived on one. The sound of a big single thumper with aftermarket exhausts was music to my ears! (PS. They have a 5 speed box. I've read that BSA are hoping to have a dealer network in the US by the end of this year)

I agree. I wish they had better brakes and a bigger gas thank. pretty good for the price though.

That’s is an awesome bike! What RE should produce for us.

I will never get bored of watching you ride royal enfields 😅

nice custom i like it🤗

Has a dealer network been established yet?

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeet! Everything has a but and it's time for this big but...Are we getting them in the USA? Thanks! SS

Hahaha! Thanks for this video. I was smiling and laughing with you the whole time 😂. WHAT A HOOT!

The engines have been Shineray (sold as SWM), recently, or Lifan historically. Honda moved production of the Brazilian designed and invulnerable CG150 [sic] to Vietnam about 1983 and within a year it was being produced (without the capitalist pig notion of licensing, of course) throughout the then-Communist world. Let's just say before 1989 or so, local engineers reworked that engine for even greater durability in environments where parts were scarce and maintenance largely disallowed. Something about a bunch of guys going "up against the wall" if the factory produces too many crappy engines inspires durability. The public face of Janus is confoundingly available. Mr. Worsham would be available to answer your questions, and may even be the person who answers the phone. If this machine makes your dingle tingle, I recommend a sojourn to Greater South Bend, Indiana (the RV capital of the world) to visit Janus (call ahead for an appointment) and the RV/MH Hall of Fame in nearby Elkhart.

Hey Fuzzy, if I remember right, the engines are made in Italy, but indeed a Honda 250 copy built under license from Honda.

You made it,to Throttle Company.

Nice toy!!

I just bought a 2023 Heritage as a retirement gift to myself. First Harley I have ever owned, cost of ownership will be more then my previously owned mid-sized Japanese cruisers. But at this point I’m ok with spending more money because the heritage has unbelievable power, excellent handling and incredible comfort it’s the next level in motorcycling. I just question how reliable it will be over time but I guess time will tell. If it’s reliable I will be a Harley rider for the rest of my life!

That's an irish flag dude

What about the ECU mapping? Is it stock?

I’d love to have one of these just because they are so unusual.

Awesome sight! Just been reading about the new RE Guerrilla, a liquid cooled 450 single. Got to get me a test ride, it's getting great reviews over here! Wahoo!

Goshen Indiana is where my dad grew up and he knows a few guys who work at Janus Motorcycles! Great to see one finally featured on your channel!

For anyone interested, Richard Worsham, the co-founder, does a live stream every Monday @ 16:00 Pacific. It's always good folks and a good time.

They're finally selling them here in NZ 🇳🇿 now Wahoo.

I see RE released pictures of new Scrambler 650 & it has a Scrambler 2-1 exhaust system & nobbly tyre's using Interceptor frame but with Showa forks.

I got a pamphlet on bike gear from bike shop & had photo of a Janus in green.Someone in bike shop had got a vivid & coloured in the A so it said ANUS 🤣.I didn't notice it till I got home & my flatmate started laughing & showed me😁😆😂🤣. Nice old school 1920's style lookalike bike.I think 🤔 they do a bigger cc bike now 450-550cc range.

Are those production models available here in the USA?

I've watched some KZbin videos about this motorcycle company. Very interesting! I drive through Indiana on my way to NW Pennsylvania to visit relatives and one of these times I plan on stopping in Goshen to see where these are built.
