The Honda Ascot, designated FT500'82, was sold in 1982. Two colors were available: Monza Red and Black. The tank stripes and the "FT500" decal were gray and silver on the red bike; but they were red and orange on the black bike. The speedometer was limited to 85 mph (135 kph).

The transmission was a 5-speed. The serial number began JH2PC0708CM000019. | The Honda Ascot, designated FT500'82, was sold in 1982. Two colors were available: Monza Red and Black.
