Honda’s capable middleweight V twin


In various forms Honda’s liquid cooled 500cc V Twin has been around since 1983. As the VT500C ‘Shadow’, VT500FT flat track styled ‘Ascot’ and VT500E with ‘Euro’ styling for the European market.

www.hondavt500.com is an on-line resource for Honda  VT 500 owners in all its forms, to share information brochures, period road tests and experiences.

Your VT500 photos are always welcome, e-mail them to info@hondavt500.com.

It was a random picture on Google images that awakened my interest in the VT500. Visit the VT Gallery page and see where other peoples imagination has led them

Appreciate something different? Surely the most unconventional VT500 ever constructed ....The Phasar. Visit our page dedicated to the unique Feet First VT500 nicknamed ‘The White Shark’

Sharing the cycle parts and with a short stroke engine Honda also produced the NV400SP in certain markets. Looking identical to the VT500 the NV400SP was not sold in the UK but some have found their way in through the grey market. The NV400 now has its own page NV400SP

If your tastes in motoring are broad, you may appreciate our motoring prints and posters in our Etsy Shop
