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

Casey Stoner To Test Factory Honda At Motegi

Mon, 22 Jul 2013

British publication MotorcycleNews.com is reporting that 2007 and 2011 MotoGP world champion Casey Stoner will test a factory Honda RC213V at the Twin Ring Motegi, Honda’s test track, August 6-7. Stoner’s shock retirement from MotoGP at the end of the 2012 season was met with skepticism in some circles, as many believed (and still do) that the 27 year-old, current Australian V8 Supercar driver would eventually make a comeback to two wheels. As it stands, HRC has no plans to enter Stoner as a wildcard entry at Phillip Island or Motegi MotoGP rounds, and insists the former champion’s services are being used strictly to help develop next year’s RC213V and the 1000cc production racer Honda plans to introduce next year.

New Delhi Auto Expo 2012 – Motorcycle Manufacturers Draw Battle Lines for World’s Second Largest Market

Mon, 09 Jan 2012

In past years, the biennial Auto Expo in India slipped under the radar while the industry was focused more on shows such as EICMA in Italy and Intermot in Germany. But with India’s middle class starting to flex its financial muscle while other markets continue to struggle, the New Delhi show is becoming much more prominent, with major OEMs positioning themselves to claim a piece of the India’s 13 million vehicles-a-year market. We’ve already looked at India-produced Royal Enfield’s new Thunderbird 500 and Hero Moto’s hybrid scooter concept which debuted at the Auto Expo, and today we’ll look at what the major international OEMs presented.

Honda To Build All-Green Test Track For E-Bikes And Cars

Mon, 19 Aug 2013

Honda has been making motions about its intentions to enter the electric motorcycle market with the RC-E concept bike and the Mugen Shinden Ni electric race bike (pictured above). Those plans are further bolstered by the news Honda will be constructing a test track dedicated entirely to the development of electric motorcycles and cars. Building an entirely new test track requires a massive amount of  resources, and Honda intends to make this project 100% self-sustainable by using 70,000 solar panels, spread out over 33 hectares, with the track and remaining facilities taking up another 25 hectares.
