Built around Honda's sport touring motorcycle platform, the 1995 Honda PC800 Pacific Coast utilizes a 800 cc (48.8 cu in) liquid-cooled v2, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 46 HP (33.6 kW) at 6,700 rpm while maximum torque reaches 58 Nm (42.8 lb-ft), transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and shaft drive (cardan) final drive. With a specific output of 57.5 HP per liter, the engine character is prioritizing low-RPM tractability, mechanical longevity and relaxed throttle response over peak redline numbers.
On the scales, the PC800 Pacific Coast measures 264.9 kg (584 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.17 HP/kg (5.76 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 765 mm (30.1 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,554 mm (61.2 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 15.89-liter (4.2 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 5.22 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 304 km (189 miles) between fill-ups, while factory top speed is listed at 203 km/h (126 mph).
