Why Choose a Honda Mower?
Honda engines
Honda engines have long been recognized by the commercial landscaping and rental industries as the leader in providing reliable, quiet, fuel-efficient power. You'll find our mowers to be no exception.
- Easy startingHonda engines are consistently recognized by professionals and consumers alike for easy starting day in and day out. We incorporated advanced technology to reduce the amount of force needed to start the engine.
- DurableAsk any pro - he'll tell you Honda engines are built to last. With our high quality materials and advanced design, our engines are second to none.
- A commitment to the environmentEach and every Honda lawnmower meets or exceeds the emissions regulations for all 50 states. In fact, Honda is the first manufacturer to sell only CARB-certified lawnmowers, meeting the most stringent emissions regulations in the country.
- Ample powerNo matter which Honda mower you choose, you can feel confident it's got more than enough power to do the job.
Twin blades
Honda mowers offer our exclusive twin blades. Twin blades cut the grass into smaller pieces, which results in a better looking lawn. And because smaller pieces result in better mulching and bagging performance, there's less work for you.
Honda exclusive technology
Honda offers more groundbreaking innovations than any other manufacturer in the industry, including:
- Roto-Stop® Blade Stop System (VXA, HXA, HMA models)Stops the blades without stopping the engine when you let go of the handle. There's no need to restart the engine when emptying the bag or moving debris out of the way. This also allows transport of the mower without the blades engaged.
- Versamow System™ (HRX models)Mulch, bag, discharge, or shred leaves with no tools or attachments needed. Versamow even lets you partially mulch, giving better performance and more versatility.
- Cruise Control hydrostatic transmission (HXA, HMA models)Our top of the line hydrostatic transmission offers effortless variable speed control.
- Smart Drive® variable speed control (VKA, VXA models)Easy, intuitive control of the mower's speed.
- Auto Choke System (VKA models)Just pull the cord to start. No need to adjust the throttle or choke.
- Full Throttle Control (HXA, HMA models)Full choke and throttle adjustment from the operator's position
Details that make a difference
- Better baggingHonda lawnmowers are designed for superior bagging. Our twin blades create smaller clippings, so bags hold 30% more clippings than a single blade mower. Decks are designed so grass has only a short distance to travel to the bag. Wide deck and bag openings also improve the bagging performance, making it easier than ever to bag your clippings.
- Easy on-off grass bagsHonda grass bags are balanced for ease in removal, even when full. The grass bag is simple to remove and install. There are no levers to latch or buttons to push. The bag easily passes through the handlebars for convenient access. And with wide mouths, our bags are also easy to empty.
- Ball-bearing supported wheelsEach of our mowers offer ball-bearing supported wheels. These high quality wheels offer better maneuverability and a smoother ride. You'll see better durability as well. HRX and HRC series mowers offer ball-bearings in all four wheels, while HRR and HRS mowers have ball-bearings in the critical rear wheels.
- Ergo-Active handlesThe handlebars on Honda lawnmowers are designed with operator comfort and control in mind. All controls are easily accessible, and the handlebar can be held from multiple positions as preferred.
High quality, reliable products
There's a reason Honda has such a superb reputation for quality and durability. We use high quality materials and superior engineering to build you a mower you can count on.
And unlike other manufacturers, we don't just bolt on someone else's engine. Every component we use is designed specifically by us, for us. It's all Honda, and you can have confidence it will last.
2011 MotoGP Championship: Repsol Honda is working hard!
Here's a mid-season update for you MotoGP fans out there! Let's hope Casey Stoner keeps up the incredible racing he's put in so far this season, RIDE HONDA.
From motogp.com:
"The second wave of back-to-back rounds will be completed this weekend as the eighth instalment of the 2011 MotoGP World Championship takes place at the Mugello circuit. The Gran Premio d’Italia TIM takes place immediately after the Assen outing, as the campaign maintains its intense pace.
"The second wave of back-to-back rounds will be completed this weekend as the eighth instalment of the 2011 MotoGP World Championship takes place at the Mugello circuit. The Gran Premio d’Italia TIM takes place immediately after the Assen outing, as the campaign maintains its intense pace.
Having stretched his Championship lead to 28 points after seven rounds, Casey Stoner’s position at the head of the standings continues to look ever stronger and the Repsol Honda rider will aim to continue his impressive form in Italy. Second place at Assen was Stoner’s 49th premier class podium, and the Australian will become only the 12th rider of all time to make 50 the next time he steps onto the rostrum.
The man in pursuit of Stoner is Jorge Lorenzo, and the Yamaha Factory Racing rider is already contemplating a sizeable gap to his rival. The reigning World Champion managed to salvage sixth place in Assen having crashed on the opening lap through no fault of his own, and a timely first premier class win at Mugello would boost Lorenzo’s challenge. Aiming to impress a home crowd however will be Andrea Dovizioso, and the Repsol Honda rider has finished the last two rounds on the podium to close the gap to Lorenzo in second to just nine points.
Sharp focus will fall on Valentino Rossi and his Ducati Team this weekend as the Borgo Panigale factory and Italian rider approach a hugely significant home race together. Having finished 30 seconds off race winner at Assen Ben Spies, there is still plenty of work to do, but Mugello is a track at which Rossi has an unparalleled record – between 2002 and 2008 he won for seven successive years. Last year’s Mugello GP was the site of the leg injury which brought to an end Rossi’s 230-race starting run, and the scene is set for a special weekend for the Italian.
Another major point of interest at Mugello will be the return to action of Dani Pedrosa. The Repsol Honda rider, who fractured a collarbone at Le Mans and who has subsequently missed the previous three rounds, confirmed on Monday that he would ride in Italy and Mugello was the scene of the first of his four wins in 2010 as he took a flag-to-flag victory from pole position.
Ben Spies arrives in Italy fresh from celebrating his first MotoGP win at Assen, a victory which marked a number of milestones, one of them being that he became the first American to win a race since Nicky Hayden did so at Laguna Seca in 2006. The Yamaha Factory Racing rider also became the first rider to take a maiden MotoGP win since Dovizioso (Donington, 2009).
Spies’ compatriot Nicky Hayden will aim for a strong home display for Ducati, whilst Hiroshi Aoyama returns to the San Carlo Honda Gresini garage after filling in for Pedrosa at Repsol Honda in Assen. Aoyama’s team-mate Marco Simoncelli will be desperate for a first premier class podium in front of a fervent home crowd (for both rider and team), a result that has so far eluded him despite having started from the front row for the past five races (including poles at Catalunya and Assen).
Monster Yamaha Tech 3 pair Colin Edwards and Cal Crutchlow have both been in impressive form, the latter will be riding at Mugello for the first time in his rookie season, whilst Toni Elías’ LCR Honda team are preparing for their home race. Héctor Barberá (Mapfre Aspar), Álvaro Bautista (Rizla Suzuki) and rookie Karel Abraham (Cardion AB Motoracing) will all seek improvements in fortunes and results after Assen, whilst for Pramac Racing Randy de Puniet will fly the flag as the sole representative in the team’s home race, after Loris Capirossi was deemed unfit to ride due to fractured ribs and a shoulder injury sustained in a crash in qualifying at Assen which forced him to miss the race."

- The new seat cover and urethane seat-cover material is more comfortable, waterproof and features a new, sportier, custom perforated look.
- Revised suspension settings front and rear yield added compliance for a better ride and more comfort.
- The 2012 Gold Wing’s new layered-surface bodywork offers more wind and weather protection around the rider and passenger’s lower legs, so you’ll experience less buffeting and more warmth on cool days.
- A new SRS CS Auto™ surround-sound system is tuned exclusively for the Gold Wing and produces a rich, three-dimensional sound brimming with realism.
The ULTIMATE Honda Big Red
We've talked about how awesome Honda's workhorse is, and even how it was improved for 2011. But have you ever imagined just how ULTIMATE it could be?
Well... we did.
So... we built it.
Hey, you can't blame a Honda man for using his imagination, as long as he comes up with something awesome: Check out the ULTIMATE Big Red.
We loaded this guy down with everything a workin' man could possibly want for just about any job, big or small.
First, we put a Big Foot Kit and then added a 2" highlifter lift. Nice, huh? Then, there is the folding windshield, back glass, and hard roof. Then, we added a Honda line front grill, a 4,000lb winch kit, and Warn Halogen & HID light sets on front. Drooling yet?
We weren't done there. Next, we added a rear view mirror and an SSV Works sound bar. On it are four 200W Marine grade speakers, an iPod dock, and AM/FM radio.
Ok.... just a few more things. We have to allow for more than 2 people to enjoy this awesome machine! So we added a passenger jump seat with gun grips attached. Ok, now we're done. Well, maybe... what do you think?

Could a Goldwing Hybrid be on the way?
Check out this exciting news from MotorTrend online, just another reason Honda is always on top of innovation.
“Having contributed to the start of the hybrid movement more than 10 years ago with the original Insight, Honda may now be looking into hybrid motorcycles. According to Bikes in the Fast Lane, Honda has filed a patent for a hybrid touring motorcycle, which they claim looks a lot like the Gold Wing tourer currently available. The wording used in the filing, as is the case with most patents, is heavily laden with technical jargon and legal speak. But it does clearly list an electric stator motor as one of the motorcycle’s key components.
Based on the patent drawings, we can see that the electric motor is placed between the front wheel and the engine. The fact that the Gold Wing can fit a supplemental electric motor onboard isn’t a surprise, as it’s one of the largest bikes Honda offers. If this hybrid is intended to be a touring bike like the Gold Wing available today, meant for comfortable road trips and long-distance commutes, then a two-mode system might be best-suited for it. Such a system would allow both the internal combustion engine and electric motor to transmit power at the same time. The designs in the filing could indicate a two-mode system, as they show the Gold Wing’s usual 6-cylinder boxer engine downsized to a 4-cylinder—meaning it could use the extra oomph of an electric motor on the highway.
With Honda’s experience in producing hybrid cars, developing a hybrid motorcycle would be a natural next step for the company. As this patent was filed in September of last year, a Gold Wing hybrid prototype might already be running around in Japan. While we don’t know exactly when the bike will become a reality, this patent gives us a good idea of what Honda has in store.”
