Honda BF15 2024: Big Displacement, Light Weight, Honda DNA
The 2024 Honda BF15 pairs one of the largest displacements in its class — a 350cc long-stroke OHC twin (21.4 cubic inches) — with a weight of just 104 lbs, among the lightest fifteens sold. The long-stroke design delivers optimum torque throughout the rpm range while a microprocessor precisely controls ignition timing from start-up to wide open (WOT 4,500–5,500 rpm). Honda’s auto start enrichment eliminates choke fiddling, the decompression system enables easy one-hand starting, and the class’s highest-output charging system keeps electronics powered even at troll. Shallow water drive and power tilt options round out a premium entry in the 15HP outboard class.
