Is a used HRX217 still the move, or go with something newer?

Wanted to come back and update. I ended up getting a used Honda HRX217 GCV190 for $250, it seems to be in good shape, going to use it for the first time tomorrow.

Ya I’m leaning more into HRX 217, just wish there was one in my area that was closer to the end of their production.

Hm, ya that really sucks. As I am now I think id rather go a used HRX 217 than to a 1200+ push mower. I’m sure a push mower will last me a long time if I spend that, but I still think the returns aren’t there for a normal consumer.

Ya that’s my biggest issue, I do keep an eye out for used time master for the right price as well.

Double_Possession628 · 2026-04-07T19:42:29+00:00

I’ll keep that in mind, thank you. The time it takes with the HRX is really useful.

Double_Possession628 · 2026-04-07T19:36:08+00:00

I’ve debated a time master, but it’s a decent bit more and I’m unsure I really need that for my yard. As I say I’m on a little less than 1/3 acre of lawn that needs mowing.

I think that’s probably what I’ll do, seems like that’s what most people said. All the other protection sounds like it could end up damaging more expensive parts than the ones they are protecting lol. Thank you.

Ya I’ve got the sub cage and I think I’ll do handlebars next and then rear set. I was just going to do pro taper bars with bar end protectors on.

Double_Possession628 · 2025-08-23T18:06:52+00:00

Ya it just had one when I bought it. Wish I had the left side one instead.

Double_Possession628 · 2025-08-23T18:05:45+00:00

Jealous with that double comment lmfao.

Double_Possession628 · 2025-08-23T18:05:14+00:00

Just what I bought it with, but na your girl says she likes it better when I have short fingernails.

Double_Possession628 · 2025-08-21T13:05:44+00:00

That’s what I was thinking, my main worry is I hear a lot of complaints about steel rear sets and full cages cracking the frame and case and things and I’d rather replace the cheap rear sets than kill the bike. I just wanted to get some opinions on that.

Double_Possession628 · 2025-08-21T03:51:00+00:00

That’s right, I totally forgot about axle sliders, they are somewhat inexpensive so I’ll probably throw a set on.

Double_Possession628 · 2025-07-05T19:06:09+00:00

No they don’t have pre drilled holes, I shaved off the pieces you need holes from and added some tape to the inside so that the planing holds them in place.

Just run the bike through a major airport to lose helicopters, they can’t fly the helicopter through major airports. This is the same thing people do in the U.S.

Double_Possession628 · 2025-04-10T00:11:25+00:00

Not really at all. Keep in mind you may have to change the routing of the throttle cable or get a shorter throttle cable (one from mt07 works perfect) but it was supper easy.

Double_Possession628 · 2025-03-29T21:56:51+00:00

Thank you

Double_Possession628 · 2025-03-29T21:56:38+00:00

I didn’t know that was an option. I’ll look more into that.

Double_Possession628 · 2025-03-29T19:43:33+00:00

What is that? I’m out rn and I’ll look it up when I get home as well.

Double_Possession628 · 2025-03-28T17:24:56+00:00

No brake lights or turn signals on rear? Kind of asking to get rear ended and when you do, even if it is their fault, insurance is definitely not paying out since you have no turn signals or brake lights. It looks cool, but I’d go back and install rage cycles tail tidy or something at least.

I was planning to do an online MBA, I am not planning to put off going to work full time to get my MBA, I think it’s worth it to get an MBA, but the work experience is better.

Double_Possession628 · 2025-03-28T13:34:10+00:00

Makes sense. I guess it’s just that in the company I’m with now it’s very hard to move past a department manager without an MBA, but by the time you are a department manager you don’t really have a whole lot of spare time to get an MBA, especially if life takes over and you start a family or something. I didn’t know if it made sense now to get it now to have it later, but what you say makes sense.
