awesome smooth riding little bikes. I had 2, they were great.

One of my riding buddies has one of these and a R1200R. The Pacific Coast is a white one with red pinstripes. The whole thing is shrouded in Tupperware. Smooth quiet machine. That rear trunk is unique in motorcycles. We got stopped at the Can/US border and the border agent asked to see what he was carrying, he popped the trunk. You should have seen the look on her face, "Do they all do that!?!" We laughed, she laughed. No duties or taxes required.

It was conceived as a yuppy bike back in the 80s, kind of like the equivalent of a two-wheeled 3 series.

I always thought the Pacific Coast was a beautiful motorcycle.

The PC800 was a fun bike. I had one back in the day. Of course, it didn't fit any traditional idea of a motorcycle with that trunk on the back. But it was a pretty good ride. 

I looked at them a few years ago.... just an older/earlier, smaller version of the F6B concept, imho. A decent 'starter' tourer for the right rider. And here, they qualify for significantly less cost for insurance, with collector status.

My father has owned two of them, currently has a 1994 white one. Something to keep in mind - if they aren't stored indoors, the plastic gets brittle and starts to break after all these years.

On a side note, it had no problem beating my VStar 1100 in a race...except from a rolling start to 50 mph.

The interesting thing is Honda through surveys ask the public what would be the perfect bike at the time. Twins, less then 1000cc enclosed bike (less washing I guess) etc and developed this mis-size touring commuter ( which tanked in sales) This what the Riders wanted but wouldn't buy.
