If you see someone riding to campus on an old-school motorcycle, it’s not Indiana Jones; it’s Mark Zweig, Janus Motorcycles’ CFO, Brand Ambassador, and Growth Advisor.
Richard Worsham and Devin Beik started Janus Motorcycles in Goshen, Indiana. The company has grown exponentially over the years. Janus was named the coolest product made in Indiana and is featured in Jay Leno’s Garage, Esquire Magazine, and the New York Times. Janus offers 250 cc and 450 cc models of the Halcyon and Gryffin as well as an Origin series.
“I’ve never had fewer than three bikes at a time,” says Mark. He worked at a shop at 12 and ran an Indian moped and used motorcycle dealership with his friend in college.
Mark worked as a consultant and owner in the architecture and engineering industry, growing multiple businesses that made it to the Inc. 500 list. He is now a college professor and business developer, notably with his design-build group for historic renovations and recreations downtown.
“I bought a new Janus in 2020 and added it to my stable of motorcycles,” says Mark. “Richard asked if I’d be interested in helping [Janus] grow to the next level.”
“I appreciate the unique design of the company, and I have faith in the management,” says Mark. “I like helping highly committed people… If they’re willing to do what they have to do to be successful, I enjoy working with them.”
There are only three Janus bikes in the NWA area, but if you keep your eyes peeled, you’ll see one of the coolest products on the market. “The nostalgia is a big part of what we’re selling,” says Mark. “Every time you ride one anywhere, it draws a crowd. The product is unique and appeals to people who just want to have one really good thing.”
