Honda managed to set a new Guinness World Record for the world's fastest lawnmower at 116.57 mph. The Guinness run was made on March 8 at the Idiafa Proving Ground in Tarragona, Spain.To claim the record, the lawnmower had to run through a 100-meter speed trap, and it had to make two passes in opposite directions within an hour with the average taken between them. The Mean Mower is based on a Honda HF2620 Lawn Tractor that's been modified by British Touring Car Championship squad Team Dynamics. It has a newly fabricated chassis with 1.0-liter engine from a Honda VTR Firestorm motorcycle with a six-speed sequential gearbox. The engine produces 109 horsepower and 71 pound-feet of torque enough power to reach 60 mph in around four seconds.The grass bag holds the fuel tank, oil cooler and secondary radiator. The engine no longer actually cuts grass. Instead, the blade is driven by two electric motors.Honda's Mean Mower - officially the world's fastest lawnmower! - Video Dailymotion[video=dailymotion;x1lgnrz]http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1lgnrz_honda-s-mean-mower-officially-the-world-s-fastest-lawnmower_auto[/video]autoblog

Nice effort by honda.
what a total waste of money I dont know about others but my lawn is not big enough to touch the top speed of this thing...
So many guinness records in recent weeks.. Some doesn't even make any sense. You know what I mean..
If it doesn't cut grass anymore, how come its still a lawnmower?
