The Honda FT500 is a single-cylinder motorcycle from the Japanese maker Honda of the early 1980s, powered by a 500 cubic centimetre engine and competing with the then successful Yamaha SR 500. FT stands for Flat Track: its looks followed the racing machines used in American dirt-track races. The four-stroke engine was taken with changes from the XL 500 S enduro, so the FT 500 has an electric starter, a larger oil pan and larger exhaust connections at the cylinder head. The open-bottom single-tube frame, a long, shallow-angled telescopic fork with 37 millimetre stanchions and a long wheelbase favour straight-line stability and comfort. Production in Japan ended in 1983.
