VIN JH2PC0701CM012044 Click the thumbs for larger pix. Pictures will open in a new window.   How different is THIS Ascot compared to your run-of-the-mill Ascot? check out these stock pictures.... I think THIS Ascot beats the daylights out of any stocker out there when it comes to looks. Problems/ Issues "Hot spot" in starter. Starts fine until it hits the hot spot. A complete FT 500 engine with starter comes with this bike Small dents in tank Needs new battery (dead from sitting) Small tear in front of saddle "Rattle can" black spray paint Side covers are there, but have cracks (not very noticeable) Been sitting in a barn for about a year (Owner is a horse jockey who travels the "circuit"... Simply does not have the time to ride this cool bike.) Questions? Zap me. Thanks Back to Squirts' Biker Page
