Damn the NM4 is sexy af

I’ve always wanted a pc800. I love it man.

The drums in the music at the beginning. If u now what i mean, you know what i mean XD

I thought it was going to have a steering wheel

At the beginning he called it a VT800! Which is does share the motor with the VT800 Shadow. I owned one as my only vehicle for a couple of years. It is a great commuter, and a better daily rider than the Goldwing. Reliable, good gas mileage, easy to wash, funky, and oh yeah, that trunk. And for the 'scooter' moniker, many PC800 owners also own a Honda Helix.

I’d love to see your sources on the 10%/25% congestion reduction values!

well it doesn't surprise me none it's happening with all the cool cars also everybody thinks they need a big giant truck or SUV or Harley Davidson to blend with the sheep I just ride a scooter it has the wind protection and storage and after riding standard motorcycles my whole life the CVT transmission is a nice change it definitely grows on you

How did this bike fail while the Pan European was a great success? Wrong market?

Not sure how they thought a 600lb motorcycle was relevant to first time motorcycle owners, but they got a lot right for people who prefer riding to working on motorcycles.

2:26 Damn that bike got a fat ass.

Oh what a weird looking GoldWin... A PC what? PC800? Why I never heard of it?

If you want to know someones character, just ask what type of motorcycle he would buy... I did, and was amazed by the anwsers, i didn't expect from those persons..

I remember when these came out, it was right after the 600 & 1000 hurricanes. I thought Honda might have started hiring blind designers or something.

25% sounds beautiful

0:29 BMW ? Really ?

This is not the way it happened.

I always assumed it was meant as a re-placement/re-styling of the Goldwing: Not all that chrome to clean, 80s futurism à la Star Wars (blocky with rounded corners, off-white); probably someone had just seen Akira and made this?

How about roads just for bikes.

It's my bike back in 2011....

Isn't this the grandfather of Goldwing? How is it "killed" then?

How do I adjust tracking?

Honda started the push to infiltrate the car driver market in 1986 with the introduction of the Helix CN250 scooter. The first scooter with "feet forward" riding position (sitting really), glove compartment, handbrake and a boot (trunk). It was so successful that it remained in production until 2009 in Japan. Very comfortable and capable of long distance touring (at 70 mph top speed) and surprisingly agile despite its very long wheelbase (1,625 mm)

Pre GoldWing

for some reason I am strangely attracted to the NM4, I was and am too broke to currently afford one but got my hands on a 1987 Honda Helix which looks like the NM4's grand pa but its a smooth ride.

Acura should make at least two motorcycles. A luxurious 650cc & 1,000cc crotch rocket. Better than a Ducati Panigale for less Money.

I really enjoy your presentations...almost Subscribed twice.

LOL. The "Politically Correct 800"! Now they just need to make an electric one with soy based plastic bodywork!

A motorcycle made for car drivers has more than two wheels. THAT'S the only thing that makes sense to me. Think about it...

I'd honestly love to check out this bike, and Honda's other autos just cos theyre unique.

yamaha tried NIKEN as well.

Anybody have the source on that traffic congestion study?

I got the “pleasure” to work on 2 of these bikes

what I remember most about the PC800 was one of the motorcycle magazine reviewers referred to it as the "Pathetic Coast"... thank you for another great video! :)

And, it'd ugly as sin. Like brown bag ugly.

The PC was the best Motorcycle i ever had. 😍

I freakin love this channel, top notch quality!

Beautiful bike! I like these retrograde designs. I have a burgman 650 and I really love it 🥰 all the bikers snub me and turn their heads, but I don't care, I could go to the end of the world with it. It's my bike.

Thanks bro almost forgat to delete search history

I remember, back in the day, saying to some motorcyclists how cool I thought the PC800 was. They just looked at me like I was daft. I didn't realize it weighed 640 lbs, exactly twice the weight of my CB300R. I think Honda did eventually succeed with this concept with the Silverwing.

Simply amazing

The milk toast pacific coast

I'd argue that maxi luxury scooters are exactly that. Like the Majestic, Morpheus, PCX and so on. At top trim they feature cruise control, stereo speaker systems, full upholstery, trunks in some cases, ensconced and backlit dashboards, remote lock and start, and some of the more modern ones are gyroscopic-assist. Perhaps not what the average motorcyclist is looking for, but would sweeten the transition for car drivers. Edit: I'd like to add that this video was a true work of art, the synthwave, wipe effects, aspect ratio, coloring, VCR-style grain and audio mixing were a delight!

Some of the stuff mentioned wasn't new on the PC, like the TRAC anti-dive that was introduced in '83. And maintenance access wasn't a whole lot worse than GoldWings of the same era. Oh, and if they were such a failure why did they bring them back for 5 more years?

You got a top gear commentator feel, I dig that

used to have one and I loved it :)

I actually really like it. Just because it's so ridiculously retro 😂😂

laughs in honda goldwing

Somebody gave one to me. It was ugly as hell but like the ride and practically

Our good lord and savior Rossi, idol Ronnie Mac, and this guy. Podium holders. Maybe ol yam noob holding down fourth.

I can decide whether I love your channel or hate it and that sir is when I know that I am looking at fine art!

Not for everyone of course. I’ve owned two, and gone coast to coast on them. To me the PC800 is the most practical motorcycle ever made, and Kudos to Honda for going out on a limb on this one!

The predecessor to the ST1100.

👍👍😎✌️

If you're not being paid to make these videos by the makers you really should be, because F9 videos make me want to buy stuff more than any advertisement ever lmao

I can see why they did this, and it wasn't a horrible idea... But it's hideous. :P

I once watched someone on a old goldie like this with a grocery cart full of groceries make it all disappear in the bike. Still perplexed by what I saw.

I clicked on this thinking it had a head and back rest

Nice.. that 750 four in the ad.. I grew up on the back of one of those... My DAD had one with an aftermarket front sprocket... I think he went 1 tooth smaller in order to give it more torque and rev faster when moving, but dropped a couple mph over all... I miss that bike. As for the pacific coast... I once jumped one of those on the highway... It was confusing for both of us.. He said he needed a jump so I said get the battery exposed and he opened the trunk.. and he looked so confused when I pulled up in my beetle and opened the hood (he was walking around back to the trunk.. the beetle had a diesel in the front in 98 :D ) We both got a laugh about our vehicles NOT meeting eachothers expectations, had a good chat, and then we parted ways.

Does look very much like the bulk sale Norton wankel that was sold to UK police forces.Think this would have done well in the UK market for police & despatch riders(who loved the CX500).

Very impressed by your work.

Brother, I can see you working for NBC Dateline. Or 20/20..... Or some other investigative t.v. show. Lmao. Good video🤙

Not gonna lie, I like it.

Bought one of these to introduce the wife to motorcycling. seemed less scary to her than the BMW. Hung on to it for a couple years and used it as a second motorcycle so friends and family could ride with us. check tire pressure, add fuel and just ride for 10's of thousands of miles. I hate to say but way more reliable than my RT that was newer by 2 decades! BRB scanning craigslist for a red one

If they hadn't painted the 1st ones quite, and made them look like an overgrown scooter, they may have sold a lot more of them and they would be a nice motorcycle. As mere fact they were quite nice.

Can anyone tell me what is the name of the song at 2:47 pls?

That pivoting front brake caliper is absolutely genius tier engineering.

So did anyone else notice the music is from The Neverending Story?

I don't own a motorcycle but damn look at that trunk size, I don't honestly like wearing helmets, not because they look bad but they do but because they have to be bulky to protect your nogin. This seems like a great motorcycle to put the safety equipment in, hoping it fits and some other cargo like breakdown tools.

This is the bike I learned to ride on.

i kinda want this bike.

If the motorcycle is the answer, governments should hand them out for free.

Better than a reliant robin

Giant scooter

Car driver here (future motorcyclist) question: why do bikes last a lot longer than cars? It's common to find 80s, 90s even 70s bikes available but cars aren't unless they're meticulously taken care of

That transition at 0:50 was so good I had to rewind 4 times

If it didn't cost more to ride a motorcycle than a car people would ride more. Tell this to the government

I always loved this weird-ass bike, though I have never ridden one. Admittedly, I also have a soft spot for the late-80s Acura Integra.

They may not have sold well, but over the years I've looked at them in motorcycle trader magazines and online used motorcycle sites. Almost all that I've seen had really high mileage compared to a lot of other bikes of the same year. It is a commuter bike

never ending story music?

Perfect! A motorbike designed for those with back damage! I would really like one since even my ybr125 hurts too much.

I used to see these on the road and I always wondered what the deal was with them. They always struck me as a motorcycle for people who don;t like motorcycles. It's interesting to see the story behind this bike.

I thought the Goldwing is designed for people who drive cars lol

i tought i was going to be rick rolled at the start of the video

4:3 aspect ratio. Nice.

Honda is/has been the most innovative company in the history of motorcycling. I have ridden Hondas starting in 1969, fifty years later - I now have most of the bikes I rode over the years, ten vintage Hondas from 1971 CB-750 to 2003 Gold Wing with the CBX, CB-1000 Custom, 1982 Gold Wing, Trail ST-110, CX 650 Silver Wing, CRF-230, Rebel 250... in between. My 1971 Honda CB-750 Four reached over 102,000, without opening the engine, just regular maintenance. They are extremely dependent and reliable machines - brilliantly designed. What an era the sixties-seventies were in terms of designs. I am glad to have lived it - the days when one would never let a fellow motorcyclist "broken down" on the side of a highway (usually an English bike or a Harley-Davidson). Peace be with you all and enjoy your weekend - it is supposed to be real nice in the North East! Ciao, L (ME/QC)

I've got a '94 PC that I've put over 100,000 miles on. It's the most comfortable bike I've ever ridden.

Both this and the Sega Megadrive were released in the same year. My dad had a clean PC 800 that I hoped to buy off him, but he sold it for something smaller and more modern.

It's so fugly it hurts to look at it.

The rise of the maxi-scooter shows that Honda was on to something - 30 years too early perhaps. Personally, I always wanted this bike.

They should design a bike like that but with a cover, like Bulmas bike.

My best friend bought one of these as his first ever motorcycle. He loved it and it got him riding, so it was a great bike. I cant tell you how much grief he has gotten over the scooter looking bike though... I really need you to do a similar video on the Victory Vision, his current bike. What can you do? he likes the unusual ones...

i got to tear one of these down once, its a gem

Honda's problem is they keep designing motorcyles that look like they should be packing Macross style multiple missile launchers but they forget to ship the missiles.

This thing is epic! I personally think it's really cool and with many panels comes many panel mods and fancy airbrush paints

Brilliant bike brilliant episode 👍

The fact that the bike doesn't have a steering wheel disappoints me.

I have a co-worker who owns one as part of his motorcycle collection. He rides it to work often. his biggest complaint is that spare parts take time because they never made that many.

hey what your favourite stretch of highway near Vancouver?

I like this concept of bike

I never actually learn about the bike as I'm to busy being blown away by the production value
