The Honda Pacific Coast 800, named after the great Pacific Coast Highway,
was a bike ahead of its time because it was such a simple bike to own and ride.
It is powered by a very smooth and quiet 800cc v-twin, has shaft drive and hydraulic brakes-valves-clutch which
means the only thing the owner needs to change is the tires (20,000 miles) and oil (8,000 miles).
My MPG is 50 city and 60 highway on 87 octane.
As you can see by these photos, the owners are loyal to their PCs.
