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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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 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 !
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.
wow , that's quiet ! love this bike still looks exceptional !
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...
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 love how quiet the PCs are
Amazing bikes, I owned two of them, can ride all day long
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

80s Honda = absolutely awesome 👍👍👍👍👍👍
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.
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.
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'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.

Nice review for that beautiful 1989 Pacific Coast Honda.
I never liked the styling of these bikes, but wow, in white it actually looks great!
Fantastic lookin' bike.
I wish Honda would produce this bike again.
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
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.

Shame it didn't sell well enough to justify making it better and better as the gears go by.
Basically the SilverWing of the future
Also love it and wish, Honda will make a new one, with the engine of the AfricaTwin and DCT gearbox...
I think these are a good deal for what your getting, if I was going to buy one this would be the one!
I’m very interested, what is the price?
Umm is that an attenna at the back ? if so then its got a factory radio them?
Stunner!!!! 😎👍🏼
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
I owned 3 so far very reliable commuter the best for sure
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.
Everyone loves Moses!
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 many miles?
I have a 96 800cc just hard to find parts
If you didn't know any better you'd think its newer then an 89!
looks ambiguously futuristic
would rather one of these than a gold wing tbqh looks the business
How much did this go for?
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 is 100% right, she's a rare bike in that condition.
Moses Rules !
They should have used the 1100 motor instead.
Ma gzosh, Kapllan. Asht kryeveper ky motorr
The rear of the right-hand middle panel below the seat is not sitting right where it meets up with the trunk lid.
Baby gold wing very nice
Its beautifuly quiet
How much for it please
Wish this was still for sale
what a ship
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.
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

Perfect bike for the trailer park king

cool bike.
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
This guy reminds me of Patrick Swayze. 🤣🤣
I am 6'-1" and I rode one which I loved but it was just a bit too cramped for me.
My bike back in 2011...
красивая хонда
AHH the Milk toast pacific coast
$2300 hmm I just did all that work on mine...guess I will have to double the asking price!
Comfortable if you have a 28 or less Inseam.
In California you can get it for 1.500
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 ???
And trust me;
She'll like it, too 😉
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.😄
Wow
the plastic honda ahead of its time
Back to the future huh?

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. 🤣🤣🤣🙏
It's to quiet, nice bike
Gran moto, purtroppo incompresa.
Pacific Coast? More like Caspar the Plastic Ghost.
She got the scarf on her neck huh
Aww common, it's Butt Ugly.
Not a fan of the exhaust it sounds too much like a scooter
God Bless America and Vote Trump 2024!
I have a Honda ST 1100. Better than that one!!
Like an uglier, lower powered Pan European ST1100.
Like a mini goldwing
