The Weird Motorcycle Designed like a Car

What happens when you tell a bunch of car designers to go build a motorcycle?
Well, this. The Honda PC800 Pacific Coast. Overlooked genius or just another Failblog entry?  >:()

Looks just like an ST, only stoopid  :rofl
A man rides on his STeed, says “Why am I short of attention? Got a short little span of attention”.

You can call me Steve, with apologies to Paul Simon.

Nope- another Honda fail to add to the list.  The Goldwing already fills the luxury space and car drivers aren't looking for "fully cowled"- they're looking for four walls and 7 airbags to protect them.  If Honda stuck with the Cub 50/110, 110/125 dirt bikes, the 750/4, the ST1100 and 1300, CBR1300 and the Goldwing they would have saved a motza.  Money wasted on the CTX1300 and now this would have been better spent upgrading the ST1300 to match BMW RT1200 or FJR1300 specs.
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott
