- This video is a walk around of my 1990 Honda Pacific Coast 800 (PC800). These are uniqe commuter cruisers that were made in the early 90's and had a huge trunk and other cool and unique features.
I am in UK and just bought the PC800 1990. Best well balanced bike I have bought. I am 71 now and its has a real grunt to the engine. I think it should be reintroduced! I reckon it is the forterunner to the ST1100 which I have had and sold. This is much better than the ST.
enjoyed your presentation....just bought a beautiful 1989 white pacific coast with 22k miles and in immaculate condition...
Nice buy. These are getting hard to find, but they are still reasonable price wise. I'm glad you found one in great condition too. I'm jealouse!
Great to hear! Mine was cherry, then I had too much fun and scratched her up and broke the mirror. Getting hard to find parts. Ohhhh! If you just got it I'll give you something to check. Get a cheap voltmeter as these bikes are known for weak stators and voltage regulators (VRR). I was pumping out close to 20v for a while causing some really wierd issues. After some research I had it fixed for $50. Pretty easy repair also. Enjoy the bike! I was lucky enough to get a Corbin seat and luggage tank factory colored matched. Shoot me a DM if you ever want to sell. I'd like 3 of these in my garage. Lol. I've been riding since 1990 Harleys, sport bikes, cruisers, you name it. I don't know if it's my size or what but this is my favorite bike to date. I was lucky to even get the factory Kenwood radio with mine too. Have fun man! Thanks for letting us know about your gem!!
@@advancedinvestors Hi! how many mpg?
I only just heard of this bike and I am OBSESSED. I ride a Vulcan Classic 1500 v-twin , and a Honda Elite 250 scooter and this is right in the middle. It's PERFECTION.
what a beautiful bike...... I have a 2006 ST1300 with 74k miles, but have always found these to look very special. .....
I also have a pc! It’s a good mid sized cruiser and the breakaway mirrors are very good, since a hit it and was able to reattach it with just a allen key
They made em in black too I've got a black 94 I bought new and a black 95 I picked up 3 years ago they also ride 2 up very well I can't imagine a seat more comfortable than the original though
My 1989 has almost 61,000 miles, everything works perfectly. It had dealer service from new. Now I do it. You can look forward to a LOT of years of riding it...whatever you do in the way of maintenance is more than worth it. Somethings just fail because of age...and dirt. If you have electrical problems.. some cleaning of grounds and contact cleaner will go a long way, when the panels are off..that's the time to strike !
hey 7th core, me too. had a service writer than spent 100 hours to replace steering head bearings
Once owned a 1990 PC800 myself.
That trunk is waterproof. (Aside from the radio)
And each side has a drain plug. You could pack sandwiches & sodas on ice and then drain it later.
Bingo!
My thoughts are... drum roll please... I have always wanted one of these but with the vtwin 1100 Sabre engine with fuel injection. This is another motorcycle Honda needs to bring back but for guys that still own the older 800cc one make all the body panels inter-changable so guys with the old 800 can get new body panels again for their old PC800 but make sure the newer PC1100 looks identical to the old PC800. That is just how much I love the look of this bike.😁
It's basically a 4 gallon tank. My gauge calibration is little wonky. When it just hits E I have1.25 gallons left..which is a big reserve.
Cool motorcycle.Let's have more videos)).
Thanks! Definitely will as soon as it warms up again -10F here yesterday. No riding! Coming soon however. Thanks!
@@advancedinvestors We will wait for the heat))).Good luck to you!
Kinda seems like Honda’s thinking in making the Pacific coast was to offer people a lighter weight version of a goldwing. Looks very much like one.
Yeah. The history behing the PC800 was to make a commuter bike for the coastal large cities with traffic issues that would appeal to brand new riders. That's the reason for the big trunk. You can put your helmets in there and your briefcase. I've seen 2 full beer cases fit with the trunk able to close also. Lol. Your correct it's comfortable, large windshield, radio option, and easy to drive. And it looks sporty. Unfortunately the concept never really took even through several iterations from 89 to 96 I believe. Even a gap or two where they didn't sell them in between revamps.
Looking to add one to my collection
My favorite bike to date. The trunk is awesome and the ride is smooth. Thanks for watching and the comment. More this spring!!
Cool, I’ve never seen or even heard of that bike
Also I have 1999 Red HONDA HELIX 250cc Whit 4,200 original Miles good scooter 🛵
Hi friend I'm on Chicago, I just bought a 1989 Whit 50,000 miles good bike but missing front fender parts , where I buy this parts?
I just bought one exactly like that one from a estate 8000 k for $800
Pardon the sarcasm but the Pacific coast 800 is basically a super size Honda Helix 250 because those are the only two that I know that have a built-in trunk like that yes I understand that the Honda Helix is a scooter but they do have similarities what do you expect come on it's Honda they're great at what they do
Haha. Hard to compare a scooter to an 800cc but I getcha on the trunk. Thing is....... Trunk has become one of my favorite things on this bike not to mention the most comfy bike ever (full discretion. Corbin seat).
как ведут себя шины irc
Rear tire is loose on sharp corners. Have to ease up on throttle.
Awesome bike man. Looks new. Can't believe she's a 1990 !
