You Will Probably Die If You Put An R6 Motor In a Lawn Mower

At least wear a helmet, dude.

​There's a reason why riding lawn mowers only go so fast, sir.

With a complete disregard for his safety, this man decided to rev up his lawn mower with a Yamaha R6 motorcycle engine. It's capable of propelling motorcycles to speeds of 160 mph, so yep, it's not screwing around.

Anyway, the man's daredevil test was all caught on camera. After some vroom vrooms, the lawn mower catapulted down the side street at what appeared to be at least 60 mph. The lawn mower was speeding so quickly that its front two wheels left the ground.

Even though he didn't wear a helmet, the man was safe. For now.
