It's a Honda so it should be very fuel efficiant just like their cars and my lawn mower (Uses 1/2 as much gas as my old one).

Slap an R-Type sticker on there, some flames, and maybe a fin or two, that baby will FLY.

I am going to do that. I have a Honda HRM-210 Lawn Mower, Later on today I will go out and get a Type R Sticker, then slap it on the side. It should cut grass much faster with it pasted on there.

EDIT:
Post thought: Riceing a Honda Jet would make an Interesting Worth 1000 Photoshop contest.:D Submit your entries now!

So wait... if this thing has Maximum take-off thrust 757 kgf (1,670 lbf) x 2.. does that mean if one of the american motor companies made a jet the takoff thrust on it would be somewhere around 3,000 x 2?
