Electrifying GEM EVs Now Available at Mungenast Motorsports

May 2, 2013 By Leave a Comment

Being green doesn’t have to be boring, and for distances that don’t always require driving a car or truck are often bothersome on foot.  That’s where the GEM EV comes in.  GEM, or Global Electric Motors, is subsidiary of Polaris Industries and corporate sibling to stable mate Victory Motorcycles (we sell both brands).  The vehicles are 100% electric and are street legal on roads with a posted speed limit of up to 35mph and come in seating configurations for two, four, or six people.

For a visual tour of the GEM, watch the video embedded below.

The Honda NC700X Arrives At Mungenast Motorsports

January 3, 2013 By Leave a Comment

It’s official – the smart and innovative Honda NC700X is here in the United States for 2013.  It may not be the loudest or flashiest motorcycle on the road, but it’s among the most practical.  Combining the agility of a sport bike with storage capacity like a bagger, bikes like the NC700X are unusual, if not very hard to come by here in America, but this bike may change all that.

Power comes from a unique 670cc parallel-twin engine that shares its basic architecture with the Honda Fit’s power plant, providing excellent torque while returning a combined 64 MPG fuel consumption average.  That engine is in the normal place you’d expect it, but the NC700X features a storage compartment where you’d expect the fuel tank to reside.  The storage compartment is large enough for helmet storage, which many riders will find useful.

Two versions of the NC700X are available, a version with a six-speed manual or a brand new Dual Clutch Transmission-equipped version with ABS.

Overview – 2012 Honda Ruckus

June 13, 2012 By Leave a Comment

There are all kinds of ways to get around these days without hopping into a car or a bus – and while a motorcycle is a great option for some, others prefer something more personal.  For them, there are scooters.  But not all scooter admirers want something “cute” – they want something that’s more rugged, something that stands out.  Meet the 2012 Honda Ruckus.

The first thing you’ll notice about the Ruckus is that it doesn’t have much of a body – it’s literally missing a cover, which gives this scooter a very rugged, “Urban Warrior” kind of look.  Its bold design is available in two different color schemes – all black, or a unique white/red.  Either way, the Ruckus will make a statement anywhere you take it.   The 49cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder four-stroke engine is plenty to get you around town.  And with an EPA estimated fuel economy estimate of 114 MPG – the Ruckus is dirt cheap to operate.

Come down to Mungenast Motorsports and come see what the Ruckus is all about (we love saying that)!

Spring Tips For Lawn Mower Maintenance

March 12, 2012 By Leave a Comment

It’s that time of year again! The grass is turning green, the trees and shrubs are beginning to bud, and the temperatures are slowly climbing, and there’s more rain in the forecast. If you’re like most homeowners, you probably mow your own lawn, and this means preparing your lawn mower for the grass cutting season. Here are some tips:

1) Change the air filter. Mungenast Motorsports carries Genuine Honda Parts for your Honda lawn mower or other power equipment product.

2) Clean the undercarriage. You’ll want to remove caked-on grass clippings and other debris to clear passage to the discharge chute so that you don’t leave clippings behind that couldn’t make it into the bag.

3) Sharpen/replace the cutting blade. Over time, your blade may become dull, and a sharp blade ensures an even cut. If you cannot sharpen the blade, now is the time to replace it.

4) Replace the spark plug. You’ll want to ensure that your mower starts easily and runs cleaner.

5) Change the oil. Just like on a car or motorcycle, engine oil must be replaced on a regular basis, and once-a-year is about right for any residentially-owned lawn mower.

For more information on lawn mower maintenance or which oil and filters to use for your model, please consult your owner’s manual or contact Mungenast Motorsports at 314-894-1330 or submit an online inquiry by clicking here.

Never Be Without The Power You Need To Succeed

February 29, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Don’t get left in the dark, folks.  When there’s a power outage, nothing’s worse than being stuck at home with no lights, computer, or TV – or worse, worrying about all that the food you just stocked the fridge or freezer with – knowing that it will spoil unless the power comes back on.  While power outages are a fact of modern life, you don’t have to sit in the dark or worry about your food going bad.

With a Honda generator from Mungenast Motorsports, you can run essential equipment in your home, like a refrigerator, a couple lights, and a television, for as long as you need to.  Or on your next camping trip, make sure you pack a generator to power your camper if your campsite doesn’t have its own place to plug in.  They’re also great for the jobsite if you’re in construction or even mobile detailing.  Never be without the power you need to succeed.

At Mungenast Motorsports, we carry a wide variety of Honda generators – we’ve got Economy, Deluxe, Industrial, and Super Quiet generators – meaning we carry THE generator to suit your needs.  And for our Super Quiet generators, there are custom vinyl graphics available from Honda so that you can show your support for your favorite NASCAR driver – a great way to show team spirit on your next camper trip to the racetrack or tailgate party.

Come in today or visit our website to see the large inventory of Honda generators we carry.  For more information regarding the full line of Honda Power Equipment, check back to our blog and find us on Facebook.

Are YOU Ready For The Big One?

February 29, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Winter in St. Louis can be rather unpredictable.  In no other city would you expect the fashion police to not harass point out someone wearing shorts with a parka (and a Cardinals cap, too).  Over the past week or so, we’ve been graced with relatively mild weather – but as a seasoned St. Louisan, you know this weather won’t last long, and it’s only a matter of time before you or someone you know will be faced with having to remove snow and ice from around your home or office.

Luckily, Mungenast Motorsports has your back.  We’re your local one-stop shop for ALL of your outdoor power equipment needs, and we’re proud to carry Honda single-stage snow blowers.  You’ll be impressed with how quickly and effortlessly you can clear heavy winter accumulation from your entire driveway and sidewalk in minutes, not hours.  Moreover, according to USA Today, you’ll be reducing your risk of a heart-attack related to shoveling snow, because you won’t have to shovel your driveway anymore.  But be forewarned – don’t be surprised if your neighbors will start to ask you for little favors now and then – especially once they see how effortlessly you can remove snow from around your home, and they’ll ask you to do it for them occasionally (but you know they just need to come down to our showroom and buy their own!).

Again – Don’t be fooled by this mild winter weather, folks!  Hurry into Mungenast Motorsports today to make a purchase you won’t regret this season – invest in a quality Honda snow blower!

Honda Completely Revamps CRF Line For 2012

February 29, 2012 By Leave a Comment


There’s good news for motocross enthusiasts!

Honda’s line of CRF Motocross bikes are back and better than ever.

After being completely redesigned for 2012, the new line of CRF bikes are set to make their offroad debut within the next few weeks.

With three different models — the 450R, 250R and 150R — the Honda CRF line has everyone talking, including the pros on Honda Racing.

Over the last few years, the CRF has taken the lead in the four-stroke motocross revolution, and is expected to remain on top, especially with new features, such as refined suspension, better brakes and steering precision, that have been added to each model.  The CRF series has undergone a serious transformation, but the bike’s acceleration and handling were not compromised during the procsess, thanks to a new cylinder head, camshaft, and throttle body. And, while performance among the new line of CRFs has dramatically increased, comfort and traction has also been upgraded, as each model is now equipped with wider, longer footpegs and Dunlop MX51 tires to help give each bike more traction. Other additional features were made to the CRF engine, too.
