Hi Wilbur, mowing 2 acres with a 460 is doing it too tough.You would be better off getting a Victa 24, now they are one serious machine and even 50 year old ones are unbelievable, they just murder the grass. If you get a few years out of a $400 Chonda I wouldn't think that was too bad. Not knowing the total situation, what about something like a grey Fergie and a slasher , that will get over that area in a very short time and they hold their value well and you won't be wearing your Greenie out every few years. Now lets not go talking about the cost of running motorbikes and their engine longevity
And then if you wanted the genuine Honda you can go for one of these which we all know give very good service.

Wilbur, one thing to remember if you fit a Honda on this ( I think yours is a Evo with the fuel tank around the steering?) If so this is extremely difficult to get the throttle cable to work because it has to go down under the tank. Because of the slope on the bonnet I don't think you could fit a tank up the front. Just something else to be aware of and the Chonda may present a similar problem, I had forgotten about the Evo fuel tank position
