I have two Ascot's that I need to sell 1st one is 1983 VT500 [wife's] metallic purple? other one's mine 1984 VT500 yaa its black.They have a few scratches but minor, new tires, battery's. have always done the services on time. We have taken these on trips before with no problems, reason for selling--- I got to many bikes and just bought a Transalp. asking $4000.00 for pair $2100.00 each pm me for any information. Ok sold the 1983 , have the 1984 left this one has only 10,000 miles on it, pretty low mileage! I have sold both of the VT500, one in Missouri, the other to Iowa. We enjoyed both bikes, they were easy to handle on and off road and the fuel mileage was great, better than the Transalp I just bought!!!!! Anyway I will stop in the read this forum time to time Thanks
