Honda BF 5

5 HP3.7 kW127 cm³OHC – 1 cylinders

Incredibly practical: the same engine that takes you to the middle of the lake fits right in the boot of your car. Light weight and an ergonomic carry handle make it easy to take anywhere. Four-stroke technology means low fuel consumption, affordable maintenance, and chances are you will get thirsty before your engine does. The newly developed 127 cc powerhead delivers noticeably more torque at low and mid-range RPM, comfortably moving heavier hulls. A compact 1.5-litre internal tank can be supplemented by an external fuel tank for longer voyages. The 12V 6A charging output keeps your onboard electronics powered, digital CDI ignition ensures reliable starts, and water cooling guarantees consistent performance in all conditions.
