Janus Revisited

I know these have been previously discussed in short, but it's just amazing to me that these things are getting such a cult following.

I know, I know....that sounds odd coming from a long-term China Rider, as people can't understand how we can possibly spend good money on a "cheap Chinese bike, that will certainly self-destruct within weeks of purchase, and is impossible to get parts for.".....but the reasoning's are completely different.

China Riders buy China bikes because WE'RE CHEAP! We get the best bang for our buck.
Janus riders pay $8k for a Chinese 167FMM CG motor! Huh?

I'm totally flummoxed. I know, the bikes are unique and very 'Old World" looking, but at $14k for a 450 SWM motor (China Shineray thru Italy), I may have a bridge to sell these folks.

Am I all wrong here? Will the Janus motorcycle someday be the DeLorean of the motorcycle world? Is it the Leno's and Kardashians of the world who are hoarding these Janus bikes, just to someday be sitting on a Rich Person's Gold Mine?.......or is Steve at CSC inadvertently, woefully undercharging for his products?

Help me out here........
