Phoenix 250 by Janus Motorcycles is a lightweight and simple motorcycle with a classic style. The simple and agile motorcycle is powered by a 229cc single-cylinder engine producing 14 hp of power and 11.65 foot-pounds of torque. Power is delivered to rear wheel through a five-speed gearbox. The motorcycle weight just 267 lbs and can reach a top speed of 70 mph.
From the designers, “The Phoenix 250 is no replica, but its design is inspired by the some of the best in motorcycling history. Starting with the classic featherbed frame, the Phoenix eschews extra plastic and bodywork while taking classic styling cues from the British cafe racer tradition and the Grand Prix bikes of the 50’s and 60’s. Our builders’ touch is noticeable throughout, from the hand-formed aluminum tank, to the hand-bent and welded frame, to the pinstripes.
Small, lightweight motorcycles have distinct advantages over the over-powered, unwieldy, and large motorcycles that are so popular today. The Phoenix weighs 265 pounds, and our single-cylinder 229cc motor provides the get-up-and-go the nimble Phoenix needs. Modern disc brakes and stainless brake lines provide incredible stopping power. The result is a perfect pairing of size and power that gives riders exactly what they need for the kind of riding they love most.”
