While Honda may have become famous for their automobiles and motorcycles, Honda has been producing approximately 500,000 lawnmowers every year for sale in the global market. All Honda lawnmowers have either a GXV or GCV engine that provides high performance and low fuel consumption with a clean emissions exhaust. The HR216 model was a rotary mower first produced in the mid-1980s that typically came with a two-year warranty.
