Is that the one that was advertised on ADV? As I recall he hit a turkey with it and Janus supported the repairs. Great customer service for a small company...doing what many of us would love to do for a living!

Yes, this is the one where the guy hit the turkey. Turns out to be a pretty fun story as he told it to me. As for the 450, I’m sure they’ll do a great job on building them, but it starts to take away from the simplicity of the bike. The 250 only weighs 262 pounds, light and nimble.
This is the sixth motorcycle that I have bought off of someone on the adventure riders board. And every one of the sellers has been fun to deal with. They are always upfront about their bikes so there are never any surprises. And it always turns out that we have something in common and spend hours sitting around bs’ing about motorcycles and life in general.
