Good Points: I like the shape, the utter reliability, nice engine note in a tall gear going slow. But of course it has to be the built in panniers. Have been on many a camping trip, and guess who brings back the groceries! Yet my mates call it the Queen Mary. Terrible thing envy! Just fill it with fuel and go.
Bad Points: I am a little tall for the foot peg position, but have got used to it. Would like an extra gear for motorways, and a larger fuel tank.
General comments: Overall I rate this motorcycle very highly indeed. It will perform if asked to and keeps the rider isolated from rutted road surfaces. It handles far better with Metzler Marathon tyres as against the old Dunlops that came with it and gives good fuel economy if you don't thrash it. I agree about the hassle of removing the plastic bodywork, however, once done it gives you confidence to explore. I think this bike is an engineering marvel and look forward to many a happy years riding it.

What a dream of bike to own. Trouble-free, a great commuter and tourer. I rode the Honda Pacific Coast to Alaska twice (11,000 miles round trip). All I've ever had to do is change the oil/filter, rear shaft fluid, air filter and a set of plugs. Oh, one carb sync check but it was still spot-on.
Yes, they look unique, but I hate looking like all the other clones anyhow!
Too bad Honda stopped making them, they are just now becoming more sought after and appreciated.

If you think id like a deauville but the panniers are too small or its a bit much for two up, or i,d have a pan european if it had a smaller engine then the Honda Pacific Coast 800 is definitely well worth a test ride. I sold mine to buy a sports tourer and always wish I,d stayed with the Honda pc.
