You're looking at Honda's most advanced technology

The BF100 and BF80 engines incorporate many of Honda's legendary technologies and benefits.
The BF100 and BF80 outboards are powered by the same engine found in the best-selling Honda Jazz. Thanks to decades of experience in the development and production of automotive engines, Honda has been able to raise the performance and reliability of its outboard motors to unattainable heights.

Let's start with the VTEC technology used on the BF100. VTEC provides a superior combination of high power, torque and fuel efficiency at any speed. This technology was used in Honda cars. This technology is now available in outboard motors.

Add here multi-point electronic fuel injection, BLAST system, Lean Burn Control, 3-channel cooling system, and you get one of the most reliable, economical and efficient engines with explosive acceleration. This means you'll have a great time on the water!

The BF100 and BF80 outboards feature exclusive Honda innovations such as

• Honda BLAST™ Boosted Low Speed ​​Torque technology (abbreviated as BLAST®) - adjusts the fuel-air mixture and ignition timing, allowing you to use more torque when accelerating sharply from low speeds. Developing more power at low revs allows you to begin planing sooner. The system is activated by quickly moving the accelerator handle;
• The VTEC™ (Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control System) variable valve timing system is a unique technology originally created for Honda vehicles.
• The VTEC™ system varies the lift of the intake valves and the duration of their opening to provide optimal engine performance. This system is equipped with some models of Honda outboard motors so that they operate smoothly at idle and low speeds and at the same time have high peak power and torque;
• Our unique ECOmo technology allows for ultra-low fuel consumption at cruising speed. Sensors accurately measure the ratio of air and fuel in the mixture to ensure optimal fuel consumption in all conditions.

Honda 100 reviews

Russians willingly buy Honda brand engines, despite their high cost, which is why there are quite a lot of reviews about the performance of these units.

• Artem from Saratov purchased a boat unit in 2013. I did not find any shortcomings during use. But the Honda 100 turned out to have many advantages. Among them are unpretentiousness in operation, quick start-up in almost any conditions, low noise level and decent quality.
• Friends advised me to buy this motor. The only thing that bothered me was the relatively high cost, but the technology completely justified itself. And now I am very happy with the purchase. After the purchase, I did not delay the start of work and checked the engine on the same day. I managed to start it the second time. The Honda 100 worked very confidently and warmed up quickly. Within 3 minutes I started my journey. At low speed the engine was practically inaudible. Unlike the 2-stroke engines that friends have, this model consumes much less fuel. What else made you happy? The low weight of the unit significantly reduces the inconvenience during its transportation. Over the years of use, no serious breakdowns have occurred. I also liked the beautiful silver color of this engine. Honda 100 is an excellent model, suitable for both outdoor activities and fishing.
• Nikolay from Samara purchased the unit for use with a small boat Sportex “Shelf” 250. For this model, the power of such a motor turned out to be even too much. The engine itself turned out to be thought out to the smallest detail and is easy to maintain. Its main quality is reliability. At the same time, it is mounted on the boat quite simply (2 people can easily handle the process). Since the unit is 4-stroke, there is no need to add oil to gasoline. . However, in extreme heat it is better to control the temperature, since the Honda 100 may overheat. The price tag for the unit is not the smallest, but the device is worth it. For lovers of fast driving and those who travel long distances on water, this model is ideal.

Owner reviews of the Honda BF 100 A LRTU

• Ruslan, Krasnoyarsk region. The Honda BF 100 A LRTU engine is a specialized unit for everyday travel and professional tasks. Device with remote control and electronic ignition system. The power plant is adapted to heavy loads and consumes no more than 35 liters per hour, and in gentle operation mode it can be within 30 liters. The engine is demanding on the quality of gasoline, which is not surprising. But the acceleration dynamics are certainly impressive, considering the 100 horsepower. I would like to note the high quality of workmanship and protection from corrosion and other external influences - for example, underwater obstacles. The most vulnerable component is the propeller, which is why it is made of winged metal. The motor is relatively quiet in operation, including at maximum speeds and high speeds.
• David, Simferopol. The best motor in its class. In my opinion, this model is definitely better than the Yamaha and Mercury engines, which are far behind the Honda. Of course, Honda is a very expensive model. But the motor is worth the money spent, as it is offered in the maximum configuration and is equipped with everything necessary for safe and comfortable operation. Trim and tilt are adjusted automatically, as befits a motor of this level. I only fill up with original oil and fuel. By the way, only AI-95 gasoline, and I didn’t even try the cheaper AI-92 - I decided not to risk it. I would like to note the ease of operation due to remote control and the presence of electronic ignition, which speeds up starting even in cold weather conditions. The unit is also very stable against the current or in a headwind. At the same time, the accelerating dynamics do not disappear, since 100 horses says a lot. And the noise and vibrations here are justified, given the power and torque.
• Ruslan, Lipetsk region. I have a Honda BF 100 A LRTU four-stroke outboard motor, equipped with remote control, electronic ignition and other useful options. Everything works without interruptions and extraneous sounds. The unit is equipped with high-quality components, including a three-bladed aluminum propeller, ease of operation thanks to ergonomic controls, a large gas tank and original spark plugs. By the way, the latter are enough for six months of continuous work. I have been using the motor since 2021. Almost two years have passed, during which time I have experienced more pros than cons. It is impossible not to note the disadvantages - this is an increase in noise and vibration with increasing speed, which is quite understandable. I will also note the expensive components and accessories. The propeller costs about 8 thousand rubles, and the navigation equipment also cost a lot. In addition, the motor is quite large and heavy, especially when compared with two-stroke counterparts. The engine is equipped with a powerful generator, which allows you to connect a large number of electrical equipment, including the same navigator.
• Daniil, Ryazan. I have a four-stroke Honda BF 100 A LRTU engine, which has been working properly for three years now. Of course, such devices are bought for many years to come - with a big reserve for the future, so to speak. The device fully met all my expectations and is equipped with everything necessary for trouble-free operation. I mean the presence of a remote control to improve maneuverability, high-quality spark plugs, an alarm in case of overheating or low oil pressure, protection against starting when the gear is engaged, multi-level adjustment of the trim and engine tilt angle in automatic mode. In general, there are many things that make it easier to use and easier to maintain. For example, this also includes an automatic lubrication system that does not require manual mixing of gasoline and oil. This significantly saves time during maintenance, unlike my previous engine, the two-stroke Gladiator. So the Honda BF 100 A LRTU model can be recommended to all lovers of active and trouble-free long-distance driving.

Honda Lead 100

The Japanese scooter Honda Lead 100 (Honda Lead), like all motorcycles from Japan, is characterized by excellent reliability and amazing durability.

Honda Lead 100 with the JF06 index was originally designed by engineers for everyday high loads and covering long distances at maximum speed. It is precisely because of its reliability that the Honda Lead 100 moped has gained immense popularity among motorcycle enthusiasts.

The design of the scooter is made in a progressive, modern style for that time. The front crystal optics are combined into a single unit with direction indicators. The low and high beam from the headlight is equally effective in any weather and at any time of day. The Honda Lead 100 scooter can be confidently called a full-fledged two-seater scooter, and a long journey with two people on this moped will be equally comfortable for both teenagers and adults. This comfort, in particular, is ensured by the anatomically shaped two-seater seat and the presence of footrests for each passenger. To no small extent, the state of comfort is ensured by the soft and at the same time powerful suspension of this device.

The front gas-oil fork has springs with active characteristics that adapt to driving on any road, and the rear suspension has a fairly large travel, which gives stability to the scooter at any speed. Anyone who gets behind the wheel of this scooter at least once will immediately feel all its advantages in handling, power and smoothness.

The engine of this moped has a vertical arrangement, which significantly increases ground clearance, due to which the scooter can confidently move on a variety of roads, including slight off-road conditions. If we qualify the Honda Lead 100 scooter by the standards of its older brothers motorcycles, then it can safely be classified as a tourism class. The main emphasis here is primarily on power and comfort, supported by maximum safety.

The safety of this scooter, it must be said, is excellent: powerful front disc brakes, durable and very grippy rear drum brakes, and the presence of such a useful function as a parking brake.

In addition, this moped is equipped with a system for locking the steering wheel with the ignition switch and mechanically locking the parking support, which is located in the glove box under the seat. Moreover, all these locks are included in the standard version of this model.

The Honda Lead 100 scooter is quite simple and easy to maintain. Maintenance typically involves replacing the air filter and replacing the spark plug.

A non-destructive two-stroke engine with a separate lubrication system does not require any preventive maintenance for the entire period of its operation. Maybe that’s why these mopeds still ride on roads all over the world in very good condition and with original engines.

You can buy this scooter inexpensively in our stores located in convenient places in Moscow. If necessary, equipment is delivered using the company’s own transport or third-party carriers.
