The BF5 lead its class in noise reduction from low to high speed.
LOW VIBRATION FOR A COMFORTABLE RIDE

LARGE DISPLACEMENT ENGINE FOR MORE POWER
Water-cooled, single cylinder design for better low- to mid-range power.

EASY STARTING
You'll be impressed with how easy it is to start the BF5. The decompression mechanism opens the exhaust valve during the starting process. This reduces the amount of force needed to start the motor. Starting is easy, every time.

The one-push stop switch makes it just as easy to shut off the motor. Pressing the stop button once safely shuts off the motor without it re-starting.
