You got an excellent deal and you will eventually fall madly in love with the beast. Be careful with the panels. The tabs break easily. 2 stage epoxy does not work. Neither does super glue or Rapidfix. Plastic weld does.

I have found that Acetone applied to each side of the broken plastic will weld it together.

Hello, just to let you know, I have owned 2 PC800's. 1990 and now a 1996. I did do 3 track days on my 1990. I got comments like, "this is the strangest bike we have ever seen here", "is it running" and an ex Canadian Super Bike Champ who runs the race school said "you ride that bike really well". Compliment accepted. Yes I did get passed by almost everyone on the longer straight, but gave them fits in the slower technical corners. One instructor came and took me out to follow him and at the end of the session I cornered so hard I had rolled rubber off the front tire like the race bike slicks. Gees, I love these bikes. BTW I was 66 years old when I did this and had never been on a paved race track before, only for parade laps. I was and still am a dirt bike guy. Great fun.
Coop from Canada out.

Thank you for an (I believe) objective review of the Honda PC 800.
I must admit, I should have done a more 'in-depth' search on this bike before buying one. However, I'm itching to ride, so after lots of going through the cycle trader, Craigslist, and other boards' ads, I bought one (I could afford!).
It's a 1990 with 24k miles (I was told were original). In South Florida advertised for $1700... I counter offered and got it for $1400.
After reading your post/review, I feel much better about my purchase; I mean, I'm not second guessing my decision.
