In order to help others find info on a particular bike, be sure to put the year, make or model of bike that you are asking a question about, in the Topic Title. This will allow people to pass by posts they have no interest in.

I dig them, but way too pricey. I tried to get something going with National Cycles, but they didn't want to sell the bikes, it's more about the accessories(apparel). Well I tried to pull up their site, but it is nowhere to be found. For the 2014 AIMEXPO They were using 49cc engines like you put in bicycles, looks like a blast compared to a scooter if you don't have a license to drive.
For that price with a Chinese clone engine... Nah.
Ambitious, I'm sure they will sell to a few saps but I don't really know who they are marketing this to...
Like Bob said... If I had $6600 I would not pay for that.
My TUX250 brand new was nearly $3K cheaper...

Thanks for the new word-“artisanal”. Maybe pronounced artis-anal?
The 2 dudes proudly holding their bikes look more dweeb than hipster, but my roots are urban industrial.
To me, that front suspension construct looks way too loose for a fast lean in corner.
Probably chosen because the original patent expired long ago.

I think Leno featured these on his Youtube channel.
Not my thing, but pretty cool for a teen. But yeah, way too expensive.
I don't know man these guys seem to be the definition of a bad A$$ biker... Ripping it up on a custom machine.
Definitely want him on my side in a bar fight....
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I love these. Totally unique styling, proven motor, 2 radically different choices. I wish them the best.

don't understand the animosity on here towards the guys in the pics. Bar fights? Really? I mean, who really cares what you look like, if you are on 2 wheels and a motor you are ok by me. I'm sure "real bikers" chuckle at your TUX. sheesh.
They have Put I just BRAAAAAPPP!
Chuckles almost always turn to jaw drops and a request to ride the bike.
LOLOLOL
I mean come one... If I bought that bike (never would because it's way over priced and under powered... Even to 250 standards) I would be doing something like in the pic above to show case if it truly was "cool".
The Bar fight remark was an attempt at an exaggerated sarcastic joke. Which I guess, I only found humorous...
Just sayin'. The guys (gals) that buy these must have a butt load of extra coin to spend or have no sense of value to money or Has no experience in purchasing a good valued MC.

I remember the guy in the picture, from Bike Week in Daytona, a couple of years back. He was riding a supercharged Harley Fat Bob, or Boob, or Boy, well I know it was a supercharged Harley. I remember him from his intimating glasses & robust white beard, & he was dragging his woman by her hair & was drinking his Pabst Blue Ribbon from a pitcher. I was kindf skiddish of him.
As is, I would consider such a bike for a shopping in the city, and driving to and fro within. 1901 motorcycle technology is more than enough for that.
However, for that, it's way too pricey, and the "look-at-me-i'm-so-special" factor is too high. Not super outlandish, but too high. I can't quite put my finger on it, but too me it's too obvious that this is a modern bike trying to look old. It might be the crankcase (hmmm jep, the more I look at it...).
I think that's also why quite a few people ridicule the boys/men in a few of these pictures. Regardless of the contemporary fashion, there's dressing well, there's dressing unconventional (but good lookin'), and then there's just trying too hard (nowadays also known as hipsters). These bikes seem to fit the stereotype, and the people on the photos...yeah.
Well, the longer I look at it...I'd take one cheap, and would try to make it look more the era. That certainly would be a nice ride around town.
And get rid of that awful Janus type on the tank. They put together half-decent looking bikes, and then such a ugly logo...(well that could tell you which clientele they're aiming at).

I like the advertising incentive to Upgrade to LED lighting on your 1915 styled bike.
Not my style of bike, but few are. Kudos for starting anything in the US.
That pricing is probably bottom dollar for the low volumes. There have been at least a handful of better funded, better engineered bikes from US companies that have gone under recently, sometimes more than once.
I really don't have any hope for a great internal combustion engine bike from a US maker in the next 5-10 years. I think the low component cost of electrics will lead to one or two companies going mainstream. A 100 hp electric with 500 mile range and modern suspension would be entertaining. I'm looking forward to that experience.
