Janus Gryffin 450

Janus Motorcycles has announced its latest model, the scrambler-styled Gryffin 450. The Janus Gryffin 450 has classic ?50s and ?60s style and hand-crafted components, and each one is made-to-order with the owner?s input and preferences. 

Janus Motorcycles is based in Goshen, Indiana, and the company?s website states that it makes ?simple, beautiful machines that are a joy to own and ride.? The Gryffin 450 joins three other models in the Janus lineup: the Halcyon 450, Halcyon 250, and Gryffin 250. It will use the same enduro-inspired air-/oil-cooled 445cc Single as the Halcyon 450, with a claimed 30 hp. The scrambler version will ride on 21-inch front and 17-inch rear wheels and will feature a high exhaust, other adventure-oriented details, and a low weight of a claimed 330 lb.

?The Gryffin 450 is a close sibling to our Halcyon 450, but with some key changes that really make it excel off-pavement,? said Charlie Handsen-Reed, senior design engineer for Janus Motorcycles. ?The longer suspension travel, wheel size, lower seat height, and larger fuel tank will be really welcomed by our off-road riders, and trimming another 30 lb off our already feather-weight 450 chassis will be a huge bonus for trailering, van-lifers, and for any adventuresome rider?s peace of mind and confidence.?
