Rider Profile

Best ForWell suited to relaxed, experienced riders rather than beginners, mainly due to its considerable weight and low-revving character rather than any difficulty in power delivery.
PurposeDesigned as a weather-protected, low-maintenance, shaft-driven sport tourer for comfortable long-distance and commuting use rather than outright performance.
Rider FitThe low seat height makes it accessible to shorter riders, but the substantial dry weight demands confident low-speed handling and some upper body strength at a standstill.
CharacterA quirky, car-like, fully enclosed touring machine that prioritizes comfort, weather protection, and mechanical simplicity over sportiness or speed.
Not Ideal ForNot for riders seeking sharp cornering agility, high top-end power, or any off-road capability.

Rider Fit Visualizer

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 765mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 1995 Honda PC800 Pacific Coast, with a cramped knee angle of around 65 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
