Vehicle Information
Honda Ascot 500 Motorcycle - Street (1982-1984)
The Honda Ascot 500, produced from 1982 to 1984, was a unique motorcycle series known for its distinct engine configurations. Initially, the FT500 model (1982-1983) featured an air-cooled, single-cylinder 498 cc engine, derived from the XL500 enduro, paired with a 5-speed transmission and chain drive. In 1983, Honda introduced a significant mid-cycle change with the VT500FT model (1983-1984). This new variant boasted a liquid-cooled, 491 cc OHC V-twin engine, a 6-speed transmission, and shaft drive, offering a completely different riding experience. While the FT500 continued for a short period, the VT500FT represented a new generation within the Ascot 500 lineup, providing riders with a choice between two fundamentally different powerplants and drivetrains. Q: How do I ensure I select the correct parts for my Honda Ascot 500?
A: The Honda Ascot 500 was offered with two distinct engine types during its production run. To guarantee fitment, please use the year and model selector on this page to specify your exact motorcycle, whether it's an FT500 or VT500FT.
