Just picked this up last friday.  It's a '96 with 20k miles and in showroom condition.  Had to drive from cleveland ohio to lexington ky to get it.  Rides like a magic carpet and best of all it's a Honda.  Water cooled 800 cc Vee twin, hydraulic valves and shaft drive.  This is as close to a maintenance free MC as it's possible to get.

I like it!  More Pics!... Oh, and what model is it?  Looks like a sporty version of a Goldwing, like an ST.

This is a pacific coast PC800.  They were sold from '89 - '98, but production was interrupted from '91-94.  They were not very popular and dealers had a hard time selling them, therefore only about 14,000 were sold in the US total.  They are becoming popular (like our NH's) now that they are out of production & their values are rising.  Finding low mileage good condition one is getting harder.  One good thing is that they seem to run forever with many examples going 100, 200K miles.  One owner claims to have had over 300K & going strong until a minivan killed the bike.
Here are some additional pics






One of the best features is the trunk, it even has a drain plug in case you desire to carry some iced down beverages.

I actually would like a Pacific Coast, but all the people around here want really high amounts of money for them.  Like, $4500.00 for an '89 with 48K on it.

It was the same here in my area, thats why I decided to travel 700 miles RT for this one.   The PO wanted $4000 but came down to $3600.  That was a good enough deal for me.

If I had the cash, I'd snag one.  I have debated selling the Nighthawk for this purpose, but can't do it.  Besides, if one is broken, I need something to ride (plus the lady friend wants a bike)!
