116mph lawnmower. Need I say more?

[fizzer]

Hitting 116.57 mph, Honda's "Mean Mower" has officially become the world's fastest lawnmower, besting the previous record by almost 30 mph – despite falling short of its 130 mph target. Ridden by Piers Ward from Top Gear Magazine at the IDIADA Proving Ground in Tarragona, Spain, the top speed run was measured over a 100-meter speed trap, under the watchful eyes of Guinness. To make it official, the run had to be repeated in both directions within an hour.

Does it cut grass?

[fizzer]

 In addition to achieving a fastest average speed, a mower vying for the title has to be able to cut grass and, crucially, must also look like a lawnmower. Both of these criteria were also deemed to have been met.

And the practical purpose of this is____???

Many vehicles can travel over 116mph. Many can cut grass better than that machine.

Maybe some impatient golf course owner cares.

This proves that you can make anything fast if you take out the stock motor and put something bigger in it. Not impressed.

This.

It has a 1000cc 4cylinder bike motor and weighs less than 400lbs. It's actually a bit disappointing.

Actually it has a V-Twin...from the VTR Firestorm..
