Picked up a 1982 Honda FT500 Ascot for $550.oo
500cc thumper, made only 2 years.
Always liked these bikes, probably because I grew up by Ascot Raceway in So Cal and
used to go there to watch races and Speedway.
Sitting 10 years, gas tank clean, has compression. title on non-op,
has side covers (not in pic). Bike is in decent shape, needs a seat cover and some other
minor items. Just bought a battery (AGM) for $38 on eBay. Fingers crossed it is a runner.
Took it to a buddies who is a motorcycle mechanic for 40+ years. Going to swap some electrical work labor for his bike labor. That way the wife won't see it till it is running. Lol
Haven't told her yet.
