1989 Honda Pacific Coast

We are delighted to present another one of our hand-picked motorcycles here at Retro Bikes Dublin, and this one is a genuine future classic that always turns heads. This 1989 Honda Pacific Coast PC800 is one of the most distinctive bikes Honda ever built, and they are becoming increasingly sought after by collectors who appreciate just how clever and ahead of its time it was. This one stood out to us straight away. The Pacific Coast was Honda's bold attempt at a fully enclosed, fuss-free touring machine, designed so you could ride it in your good clothes and never touch an oily part. The whole bike is wrapped in smooth bodywork, and the party piece is the rear, a full clamshell boot that opens just like a car, giving you a huge amount of lockable, weatherproof storage. There is genuinely nothing else quite like it. Underneath all that clever bodywork sits Honda's silky 800cc liquid-cooled V-twin, shared with the legendary Transalp and Africa Twin family, paired with shaft drive, so it is smooth, torquey, reliable and beautifully low-maintenance. It is the ultimate stress-free way to cover miles in comfort. Some of the highlights include: 800cc liquid-cooled V-twin engine Honda shaft drive (no chains to maintain) Full clamshell car-style rear boot with huge lockable storage Fully enclosed, weather-friendly bodywork Tall touring screen for proper wind protection Comfortable dual seat with passenger backrest Classic cream / champagne factory colour scheme Front and rear disc brakes Irish registered on an 89-C (Cork) plate It is a striking machine in person and genuinely something we are proud to have in stock. We work hard to find bikes that feel a little bit different, machines with real character and a story rather than just standard examples, and this Pacific Coast fits that perfectly. It presents well throughout, the bodywork is clean and the iconic boot works exactly as it should, and overall it is just a really honest, well-kept example of a bike that is only going to grow in appeal. A lovely opportunity for a touring rider or a collector who wants something genuinely unique, supremely practical and built to the highest Honda standards.
