Honda PC800 Pacific Coast Reviews

Choke cable needs adjusting.

45 mph wobble remains annoying (when hands are off bars).

Wheels are hard to keep shiny.

Love this bike for sport touring in the mountains of North Carolina, Tennessee, & Georgia. Good acceleration for a 800cc v-twin. I've logged 19,000 miles so far in the year & a half I've owned it, and plan on easily that many again in the next year.

I added highway pegs for super slab comfort, plus a GPS. Love the trunk space & seat comfort, and the smooth handling on curves when I ride with my sport bike & cruiser friends, and the 45-50 mpg I get while riding about 180 miles before fill up.

People stop to ask about the bike everywhere I ride, because many have never even seen one before.

The '94 is the black & silver model, which is my favorite color. For the price (I bought mine for $3,000), I don't know of any other bike that can match the value & performance of the Honda Pacific Coast.

Nothing has gone wrong, only falling over.

I wanted to add my comments that it's not a really good beginner cycle, and it's not a scooter. I have owned many bikes, and though I would love to love this bike, my opinion has changed as I have ridden a lot more bikes.

There is something that is so unbalanced with this bike when stopped that it makes owning it a scary experience. You will go down. I don't care how big or how long you have been riding, the PC will bite you in the ass. It corners just OK.

The hassle of getting to your engine and the plastic tabs is a horror...

If you're serious about a PC, look at an ST instead. Now looking back at it, I'm glad I sold it. Won't get another.

Water pump at 8,000.

Tires at 10,000.

Wonderful motorcycle for cruising or two up touring. Replaced the wind screen with a lower custom Rifle fairing. Does everything well.

In the seven years that I have owned it, I can't think of anything that has gone wrong other than gunked up carbs from letting the bike sit.

The Metzler tires started coming apart, but they were over 12 years old.

I also have a Shadow Aero, and they both are bulletproof and reliable. If my beemer were like this, everyone would ride them...

It's not the most attractive bike or the fastest, but it sure is an all around pleasant bike to own for the long run. The only negative is that when stopped, this bike is very very top heavy. I think everyone who owns one will drop it a few times till you get used to it. It's over 640 lbs with your stuff in the big trunk..

I get constant 45-50 MPG at 70-80mph, which with 2 people it can handle all day. Water cooling is great when you get stuck in traffic.

The bike does not make you want to go fast, just cruise and enjoy the ride. Perfect riding position, it's ruined me for any other style of sitting.

Stock screen stinks as does the stock seat. Most go with a Clearview with the goldwing vent.

It's very hard to get to the motor with the maze of plastic panels that are difficult to figure out how to take off.
