Honda today
announced it's adding an all-new flagship BF250 outboard to its proven high-performance, fuel-efficient marine engine line-up.
Making its
debut at the 2011 Miami International Boat Show, the concept BF250 provides the
first indication of the design direction for the new outboard, which is planned
to be available in Australia towards the end of this year.
Based on a
large-displacement 3.6L engine, the concept BF250 has been designed to deliver
the optimum balance of performance and fuel efficiency, through exclusive Honda
technologies including BLAST – air/fuel ratio linked ignition timing control
technology; VTEC – variable valve timing and electronic control; and ECOmo – unique lean burn control system.
The concept
engine is also NMEA 2000 compliant, allowing engine-to-electronics data
communication to deliver engine management and performance data to compatible
marine electronics displays.
Through its
innovative design, the concept BF250 also incorporates a streamlined, striking
and sleek exterior that reflects Honda's position as a premium brand in the
marine industry.
As the
world's largest engine manufacturer and the pioneer of modern four-stroke
engine technology, Honda upholds its moral obligation as a company that society
wants to exist while caring for the environment.
Honda's
current class-leading range of marine outboard engines – from the BF2.3 right
up to the powerful BF225 – meets California Air Resources Board (CARB)
standards and exceeds all European RCD regulations,
which are among the most stringent environmental regulations in the world.

Incorporating unique attributes such as BLAST, ECOmo and
VTEC, along with a five-year warranty, Honda's technologically-advanced
four-stroke outboard engines run quieter, offer greater fuel economy,
burn
cleaner and are just plain better for the environment... at the same
time
delivering superior power and unmatched reliability. Honda –
four-strokes of
genius.
