Post by: Poseidon on July 22, 2018, 04:24:58 AM: Honda built a lawn mower powered by a CBR1000RR motor. Gives new meaning to "Get off my lawn!"

Its not how fast you mow its how well you mow fast.

How do you keep the rows straight and keep from missing any at 50mph while fishtailing?

Post by: Conniesaki on August 13, 2018, 02:32:50 PM: Sorry to completely derail this thread, but I want a fast lawn mower. Really, one that really does mow the lawn fast, and does a good job at it. I now have about 2 acres to mow, with quite a few tree obstacles, and I want to spend no more than 1 hour mowing it, and it must do a good job. And I'm willing to spend :thumbs: I don't ask for much! Whatcha got??

That would be far more interesting than putting a Cub Cadet motor in a ZX1400R....
