Honda Other description

You are looking at a 1983 Honda Ascot 500. This is a 500cc, twin cylinder, 6 speed, water cooled engine with a shaft drive and is very quick and handles like a dream. I have ridden this bike about 2000 miles without the slightest problem. I would not be afraid to ride it any place. I always run ethanol free gas so that may contribute to its fine running nature.


This particular bike is in excellent condition. There are no leaks, it start instantly, idles smooth as glass and runs excellent. There are hardly any flaws on the bike considering its age. The seat is perfect. The tires, battery, and starter are brand new. All the lights and gauges work. The only item that is not stock is the gas tank. The original tank was rusted beyond repair, and after a thorough, fruitless, search for a stock tank I opted for a Honda shadow tank which fits with no alterations to the original mountings. The tank does have a very slight dimple. The pictures show it. I just like to be truthful so there are no bad feelings. If you desired and found a stock tank it would just be a matter of taking this one off and putting the stock one on.


This bike model is becoming very rare and to find one in this shape rarer. My reason for selling is because I am seventy and its time for my “boy toys” to go.


I am putting a modest reserve on this auction. . Bid with confidence. Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer, but I will do my best to accommodate you. Thanks for looking

Awesome Anaheim Supercross

Fri, 11 Jan 2013

The highlight of this winter has to be my visit to last week’s Anaheim Californian Supercross.  I’ve followed this spectacular series on Motors TV but the atmosphere while watching the action live is something else. Forty five Yankee dollars gets you a good seat high in the stadium, with practice starting at 12.30pm and the main event kicking off at 7.30pm. If you are making a day of it however, I’d recommend buying a pit pass then you can get in full anorak mode to hassle the teams and riders for autographs and photos.  We conveniently made some new friends allowing us to do some pre event ‘tail gating’, a great concept which is basically barbecuing and downing beer around your vehicle in the surrounding car parks.  The evening race schedule is four hours of nonstop action starting with the capacity crowd standing for the American national anthem sung by a stunning blonde with a huge voice.

Honda Tuner Mugen Motorsports to Enter 2012 TT Zero Electric Race at Isle of Man

Thu, 16 Feb 2012

Engine tuning company Mugen Motorsports announced it will compete in the TT Zero electric motorcycle race at the 2012 Isle of Man TT. Though not officially a Honda company,Mugen was founded by Hirotoshi Honda, son of Honda founder Soichiro Honda, and the company is best known for its work as an engine tuner and parts maker for Honda vehicles. The Mugen entry to the TT Zero represents possibly the closest connection so far between a traditional motorcycle OEM and the relatively new realm of electric motorcycle racing.

2012 GSX-R1000 arrives at Visordown HQ

Wed, 23 May 2012

You've probably seen the video of Simon Crafar smoking up the 2012 GSX-R1000 at Almeria. Impressive stuff. Suzuki are (correct me if I'm wrong) the last manufacturer of an inline four superbike not to offer it with some sort of electronic rider aids.
