When I was a very young child, one thing I absolutely remember wanting was for my grandfather to take me for a ride on the mower. To little four-year-old me, that riding mower looked like the coolest thing, and the smell of fresh-cut grass couldn’t be beat. I never got to ride it, because my grandparents were afraid that I’d get hurt (and as an adult, I totally understand why not).
That, of course, was a perfectly normal riding mower—and nothing like the Suzuki GS 450 lawn mower go kart build that the guys from Cars and Cameras just built. This contraption is powered by the engine out of a Suzuki GS 450, complete with its six-speed gearbox. It’s really more of a go-kart build than a functional lawnmower, but since they slapped the cover from an old Lawnflite riding mower (completely with enviable patina) over the engine, they’re calling it a mower anyway.
