Honda FT500 Ascot Single for sale (Plain Jane sits @ the bar waiting for a drink)....
Hi Guys ,
No worries , I didn't make a mistake .... I posted my bike where it belongs ...in th CLASSIFIEDS section . Just wanted to bring attention that it's there waiting for someone who appreciates it to get noticed ...... Kinda like the plain Jane girl who sits at the bar ...waiting for you to buy her a drink . You question whether you should ......but you don't realise she may be a treat for you hidden there ...so don't pass her up ...give her a try !! 
Cheers,
Ron

How cool, I just saw an FT500 coming out of DC on I-395 the other day! I owned a VT500 Ascot from 1983-1991 and I could easily climb her up to 120mph! ...sure loved that thing but she was stolen Thanksgiving of 1991!

120 indicated is what in real mph? After all, we all know speedos lie like a rug, and yet people are still able and willing to throw figures out like their lives depended on them. I gave that stuff up with my my old 750F Honda. That was so long ago that I can barely see through all the dust on my memory!

Here is an interesting project for you Ascot lovers. I had a Transalp, which had a bumped up version of the Ascot motor. It was a heavy bike, but it had it's bright side of uniqueness. I used to call it the White Whale.

Re : FT500 Ascot...
Hey Dudes !
Yeah , now you are talking about VT500 Ascots ....An FT500 barely pulls off 90 mph !! I think my SR500 Yamaha was faster than my FT500 . As for the sidecovers....yeah mine are definitely worth stealing ...along with my near mint fuel tank which has never seen the pavement ! Hell , the decals have never seen a scratch ! Yeah baby !

My XR600 with airplane gearing can pull off 90 with a tailwind.
Big difference between the vt and the ft though........
