Information: This is my 3rd FT500. My 1st was bought in 1984. The FT500 Ascot sold in the USA as 1982 and 1983 models.
Retail in 1982 was $2195 US by 1984 they were $1295 at the dealers. Great Great Bike not appreciated. 4 stroke single Cyl.. Light weight. Over 50 Miles per gallon. Counter balanced for smoothness. maybe 30 HP. Not much. Ive owned/riden Honda NX650''s and a XR650L and this 500cc is way smoother and doesnt shutter at the lower RPM''s like the larger thumpers. Nice examples can be found for about $1000 US.
Update. After 5 years..Sold my example for $1400.00 US Dollars.
