I have to admit, that bike right there does somehow defy the physics of cosmetic evolution. Meaning, Honda could put that bike out right now as a 2024 model and it would still look cosmetically correct. The aesthetics would fit right in with a modern bike for sure. Just unbelievable.
I have one 1989 Bike was 35 years ahead of its time Super quiet Fast enough No vibration Coooool dash I have four bikes in garage two years on a row Only the old 89 started on the spring ! Carbs and all!
A beautiful motorcycle, and a design masterpiece by Honda. I had the Deauville 650, and was tempted by the Pacific coast at the time, but probably too heavy for me now.
A beautifully designed bike and should have been in production for 20 years like the Helix scooter another classic. I'm turning 71soon and retired from riding a '89 1500 & '02 1800 Goldwings and downsized to a 250 '96 Helix.
I've got a black 94 I bought new I've been in love with it for 29 years I rode it yesterday I also have a 95 they are smooth to ride and little to no maintenance
By far, the most tame/pedestrian bike I've seen you ride. Unlike most, I loved these bikes. What they sacrificed in acceleration performance, was made up two-fold in every other department. Honestly, I like it better than the Goldwing. Only reason I never owned one, is because I live in the mountains. They'll handle the curves... but the one I rode, struggled with steep grades. Downhill braking was PHENOMENAL though.
Didn't see orh ear about this ever, it is absolutely awesome. Thanks so much for showing it to people like me who haven't seen it before. Magnificent piece. I really respect your work btw. Pls keep these coming.
PC800 is quite remarkable. Never even seen one, but Honda absolutely should re-introduce this to market. Now when there's actual desire for good economics and as most manufacturers are "downsizing" their lineup this would be awesome. Just bit tweak to looks, slap modern Honda engine in, put goodies like heated grips and seat. Make it more accessible by making panels easy to remove for maintenance and I'd buy one immeadiately.
I've never even heard of this model and I'm in LOVE !!!!! What a killer bike with top of the line everything. Look at those brakes ! Damn !!!! EDIT : I WISH this was a scooter. OMG, a V-Twin, shaft drive ? This is THE baddest bike on the planet. Nearly zero maintenance, just oil. This is THE total old man bike and I LOVE IT !!!! I'm 55, into cruisers and scooters and this is SMACK in the middle !! This is the Helix's dad.
Its such a nice all around bike its a shame people didn't buy it.And remember it was made to be as Automotive as possible because it was built to make riders out of folks that never really thought about riding a motorcycle. Was supposed to also be kinda sorta reminiscent of a scooter.A huge scooter but a scooter none the less.Again it had to be attractive to the car only crowd.Still a wonderful piece of machinery. Shame it didn't sell well enough to justify making it better and better as the gears go by.
This is great and can carry a few sacks of groceries, but you need the striking white CBR600(F1) to compliment it. That is a striking match for this bike. With all the plastic, if these are not taken care of they start looking pretty bad. =Make excellent investments since not many left in excellent condition. = A true Museum Piece.
They did that because they were pitching this bike at first time bike owners, people that had only owned a car, so they tried to make it look as much like a car as they could. According to Hondas marketing blurb anyway.
Nice one! Currently in process of buying one that looks just the same, but a 91.... When I get it home I am painting it all black and making a knightrider themed bike. LOL
I admired this bike when it came out. Kind of a Deaville with a lot more protection. It is in my opinion a brilliant design that somehow did not succeed. It was the Pan European on a budget.
Like Honda marketed Bikes to get Harley Riders, Bikes to get European Sport Bike Riders. Honda marketed the Pacific Coast to get - Car Drivers The rear taillight design was actually taken from their Car Division, the Acura Integra. It was designed for minimal to no Engine maintenance, there's the Trunk, the side view mirrors are a Car design. The front end had an anti-dive braking system to eliminate Fork-dive...the Bike was a total fail of course...nice classic Bike to us Bike Guys, though.
Have same bike Same color Had true pro Honda mechanic re work carbs Runs like a new bike Last spring only bike that started in my collection post winter By far oldest
Hondas marketing said they pitched this bike at white collar first time bike owners, and obviously, it was designed by Honda Research America, for the North American market., tho it was sold in other markets. They tried to make it as much like one of the cars as they could, hence the car looking dash and trunk. Its an interesting bike, not my cup of joe, but interesting.
The Honda PC800 was designed to be a commuter bike and it is the swiss army knife of motorcycles! It looks like this one has the factory radio that came in the early models. You will never see one in this condition again it is a real museum piece. Unbelievable!
I just had a weird and strange thought… What do you think the total number of times is that Sr has swung a leg over a bike? Any bike... Every bike... Do you think it would be up in the hundreds of thousands? I'm talking every bike he's ever owned, every race he's ever gone into, every test ride… I'll bet you he's lifted his leg over 1 million times probably. Something to ponder… Lol Art in Middletown

I think it would need bit tweaks in the looks, but still it has stood out remarkably well and would be very easy to re-introduce to markets.
I have one
1989
Bike was 35 years ahead of its time
Super quiet
Fast enough
No vibration
Coooool dash
I have four bikes in garage two years on a row
Only the old 89 started on the spring !
Carbs and all!
I don’t even know where battery is !
Best commuter bike ever made I owned 3 of them the last had 75k miles it runs like new bulletproof for sure underrated for sure
I've been saying the same thing, since my first ride on a PC
For an old motorcycle it looks amazing and modern even today.
A beautiful motorcycle, and a design masterpiece by Honda. I had the Deauville 650, and was tempted by the Pacific coast at the time, but probably too heavy for me now.
My first bike was a 1994 Pacific coast. So cool to see one still around that isn't trashed. I rode the wheels off mine for years with 0 issues
How many miles on the bike?
I owned an '89 PC a for 3 years, bought it for s $990 rebuilt the carbs and forks. Dude the final drive mod. It was a great bike. I now have a ST1300.
Amazing bikes, I owned two of them, can ride all day long
A beautifully designed bike and should have been in production for 20 years like the Helix scooter another classic. I'm turning 71soon and retired from riding a '89 1500 & '02 1800 Goldwings and downsized to a 250 '96 Helix.
I've got a black 94 I bought new I've been in love with it for 29 years I rode it yesterday I also have a 95 they are smooth to ride and little to no maintenance
I love how quiet the PCs are
3 valve motors are underrated. The Ducati ST3 comes to mind, a nice blend of old 2 valve grunt and 4 valve top end rush. Great for sport touring...
wow , that's quiet ! love this bike still looks exceptional !

80s Honda = absolutely awesome 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Those are awesome, and look really nice. I've never seen one before. It's like a streetbike and a scooter combined. Thanks for the great video.
Nice review for that beautiful 1989 Pacific Coast Honda.
This bike was on my want list for a long time. Finally had one for about a year and really enjoyed it, but not enough to keep long term.
why not?
@@glovester my legs are really long and the seat/peg relationship was really tight, making the bike a bot uncomfortable for long days.
These motorcycle are simply Amazing !
My motorcycle instructor rode one of these. When we had to follow him on the CB500 bikes we could barely keep up.
I owned 3 so far very reliable commuter the best for sure
I never liked the styling of these bikes, but wow, in white it actually looks great!
I think these are a good deal for what your getting, if I was going to buy one this would be the one!
The bike is actually pretty nifty. Saw it on fortnine. And I gotta say the Microphone is doing a fantastic job picking up your voice
Fantastic lookin' bike.
I wish Honda would produce this bike again.

Sold for how much ???
Umm is that an attenna at the back ? if so then its got a factory radio them?
Also love it and wish, Honda will make a new one, with the engine of the AfricaTwin and DCT gearbox...
Never heard of them before there's one locally here in Salt Lake for $800 right now that runs with all the windshield and everything
I’m very interested, what is the price?
Stunner!!!! 😎👍🏼
How many miles?
This is the future in the pasta and Now it's so incredible actual Thanks Kaplan Here on'7:00 a:m It's a dream
Basically the SilverWing of the future
The rear of the right-hand middle panel below the seat is not sitting right where it meets up with the trunk lid.
I like it,never seen one. They've covered every piece of mechanical engineering,even the handlebars.
They did that because they were pitching this bike at first time bike owners, people that had only owned a car, so they tried to make it look as much like a car as they could. According to Hondas marketing blurb anyway.
looks ambiguously futuristic
would rather one of these than a gold wing tbqh looks the business
That shaft drive cover looks like a Honda Shadow 750s. I have always loved these bikes, quite rare in NZ
Ive never seen one in NZ at all, but then its amazing what people have tucked away here in NZ.
@@uhtred7860 I saw one on trademe one time for $3.5k - but you are right, never seen one on the road.
Not sure if they sold well here
You might see my silver one on the streets of Christchurch.
How much did this go for?
I have a 96 800cc just hard to find parts
Everyone loves Moses!
Ma gzosh, Kapllan. Asht kryeveper ky motorr
Nice one! Currently in process of buying one that looks just the same, but a 91.... When I get it home I am painting it all black and making a knightrider themed bike. LOL
Moses knows the deal.
If Casper the Friendly Ghost rode a bike -it would be on this with all his ghost buddies in the storage compartment.
How much for it please
I admired this bike when it came out. Kind of a Deaville with a lot more protection. It is in my opinion a brilliant design that somehow did not succeed. It was the Pan European on a budget.

Wish this was still for sale
Have same bike
Same color
Had true pro Honda mechanic re work carbs
Runs like a new bike
Last spring only bike that started in my collection post winter
By far oldest
Its beautifuly quiet

Moses is 100% right, she's a rare bike in that condition.
Moses Rules !
Baby gold wing very nice
If you didn't know any better you'd think its newer then an 89!
This guy reminds me of Patrick Swayze. 🤣🤣
I own one you had one before was 1990 model candy red I remember this is the second time ken
Cheyleesi bike. Fortnine did a good review also. But cheyleesi has been riding one of these for years in Tampa. Shadetree army
Fell into a 1990 with only 2329 original miles a couple years ago.
what a ship
I am 6'-1" and I rode one which I loved but it was just a bit too cramped for me.
Perfect bike for the trailer park king
cool bike.
The Honda PC800 was designed to be a commuter bike and it is the swiss army knife of motorcycles!
It looks like this one has the factory radio that came in the early models. You will never see one in this condition again it is a real museum piece. Unbelievable!
And trust me;
She'll like it, too 😉
They should have used the 1100 motor instead.
My bike back in 2011...
AHH the Milk toast pacific coast
I have A CANDY RED 1991 Pc 800 i just had shipped from NY to LA…Thinking about letting it go 🤔 shoot me a price ???
красивая хонда
$2300 hmm I just did all that work on mine...guess I will have to double the asking price!
In Indonesia we had Honda PC X
The PC-X is a 150cc scooter tho, this is an 800cc bike, that looks like a scooter.😄
Comfortable if you have a 28 or less Inseam.
Wow
In California you can get it for 1.500

Everyday for sure. If for some reason he cannot find a bike, (airport/travel) he still likes to swing the wing -out of habit.
Hahahahahaha!!! Yep.... he probably does!!!! A combination of force of habit/withdrawals. 🤣🤣🤣🙏
the plastic honda ahead of its time
Back to the future huh?
Gran moto, purtroppo incompresa.
It's to quiet, nice bike
Pacific Coast? More like Caspar the Plastic Ghost.
She got the scarf on her neck huh
God Bless America and Vote Trump 2024!
Aww common, it's Butt Ugly.
I have a Honda ST 1100. Better than that one!!
Not a fan of the exhaust it sounds too much like a scooter
Like an uglier, lower powered Pan European ST1100.
Like a mini goldwing
