[history]
Honda, in conjunction with Top Gear magazine and racing outfit Team Dynamics, has built a high performance ride-on lawn mower capable of reaching speeds up to 130 mph.
And, yes, it can still cut the grass.
The so-called Mean Mower started out as a production Honda HF2620 Lawn Tractor before the team replaced its stock 20 hp motor with the 109 hp 1,000 cc V-twin from a Honda VTR1000 Firestorm sport bike along with its six-speed transmission and reengineered the suspension to handle a set of ATV wheels and tires.

The only downside is that you still have to empty the grass bin... only, now, every 15 seconds.

I wish Deere did make a good old-fashioned bike. I'd buy one just for the novelty.
I used to have a Honda Magna which had incredible performance and handling...but that V-4 engine just couldn't deliver a decent rumble. And a rumble is so very important to a rider's state of mind.

I did some welding for a guy at work that built up an old Cub Cadet for pulling, using a GoldWing motor.

And a rumble is so very important to a rider's state of mind.It's far more than that. Loud pipes save lives. So that rumble is an important safety feature on any street bike.
I'm currently riding a 1600cc cruiser with Cobra brand straight pipes. Now that's a nice rumble. :-)
