Only thing I have against the Pacific Coast is their age, and finding parts will be more difficult.

So I'm going to make a more modern suggestion. The Honda CTX700. There are brand new, left over 2015's being advertised at dealers around here for about four grand. Not a whole lot more than the used PC800's I've seen. What looks like a fuel tank is a storage compartment.

Or the similar but more adventure oriented NC700X.

Thank goodness!

All that talk about Harleys had me worried...

I think the PC will work well for you.
