The BF40's are an outstanding combination of Honda’s legendary four-stroke engineering and their latest outboard innovations. The result? The lightest, most compact engines in their class. And because they are from Honda, they’re loaded with the unparalleled features and technology you want. Like BLAST (Boosted Low Speed Torque) for vastly improved hole shots. Programmed Electronic Fuel Injection, for easy starts, instant throttle response, and overall better fuel economy. Lean Burn Control stretches your gas even further by allowing a leaner air-to-fuel mixture. Put it all together, and you’ll l find that the BF40's aren’t just at the head of the class. They’re in a class by themselves, redefining mid-range four-stroke performance.
