Probably, it's a turf war.

Reminds me of the Lawn Mower Tim Taylor from Home Improvement built.

lol, similar to what i had as a boy, except mine was just an old lawn tractor with a go kart engine.

Type R yo.

That's brilliant.

I can see where Honda got the inspiration for the rear spoiler on the FN2!

far too much build up in this, even if quite funny, but the thing looks great fun, so why not show more of what it can do, sliding and going fast - anyone know of any extended footage?
Honda have been waiting until the latest Top Gear magazine is out as they were given the exclusive on it, there is much more to come especially when they get the engine tuned to run properly with the exhaust that is on it.

Same here. Honda are really sowing the seeds...
and reeping the benefits.
They certainly don't let the grass grow under their feet.

Well timed PR for the peak of the grass machinery buying season.

I wonder what it'd cost to make road legal? Parking would be a doddle.
As far as I can tell register it as a Cat K mower with the DVLA (not sure how easy this is. Your local council parks dept should know), get a number place, VED (£0) and insurance (Not sure if you need specific insurance or public liability) and off you go. As far as I can tell its one of the categories that dose not need an MOT or SVA, just make sure it is safe. I could be wrong though.

And it's 'kicked in y0!'
Sorted for you!

In all seriousness though, this thing has some commercial viability - Make it road legal, drive it to your 2hr lawn-mowing job, do that job in 20 minutes, love all of those minutes, drive home.

Wonder what sort of MPG it does....

Smelly Ben got bored of making metal Dildos so they gave him a mower to fiddle with.....

Perhaps they will fit the cutting blades to their BTCC Civics, it will then mean they can cut the corners easier......

Given that it is a standard engine and in the bike it did about 35 mpg, I would guess about the same.
