That fagged it up even way back then.

heres a groovy little number about Honda when gay meant full of joy..

I'm gonna wake you up early
Cause I'm gonna take a ride with you
We're going down to the Honda shop
I'll tell you what we're gonna do
Put on a ragged sweatshirt
I'll take you anywhere you want me to

First gear (Honda Honda) it's alright (go faster faster)
Second gear (little Honda Honda) I lean right (go faster faster)
Third gear (Honda Honda) hang on tight (go faster faster)
Faster it's alright

It's not a big motorcycle
Just a groovy little motorbike
It's more fun that a barrel of monkeys
That two wheel bike
We'll ride on out of the town
To any place I know you like

First gear (Honda Honda) it's alright (go faster faster)
Second gear (little Honda Honda) I lean right (go faster faster)
Third gear (Honda Honda) hang on tight (go faster faster)
Faster it's alright

It climbs the hills like a matchless
Cause my Honda's built really light
When I go into the turns
Lean [Tilt] with me and hang on tight
I better turn on the lights
So we can ride my Honda tonight

First gear (Honda Honda) it's alright (go faster faster)
Second gear (little Honda Honda) I lean right (go faster faster)
Third gear (Honda Honda) hang on tight (go faster faster)
Faster it's alright

First gear (Honda Honda) it's alright (go faster faster)
Second gear (little Honda Honda) I lean right (go faster faster)
Third gear (Honda Honda) hang on tight (go faster faster)
Faster it's alright

Or should this be:
Led Zep, Deep purple, Rolling Stones, Black sabbath?

Nah! surely you mean The Clash, Stiff Little Fingers, The Ramones and The Buzzcocks

And Phil Goff ( Goof ? ) rides a late model Bonneville , go figure.

Well I've had heaps of bikes from all of them.

From my experience I'd say:

Honda- got a certain nostalgia about all their bikes. smooth and prestigious.
Suzuki- gixxer says it all really. Hooligans bikes, built like tanks.
Kawasaki- the most powerful and often fastest, classis clunky gearboxes, always ahead of the others with little features. infamous cam chain tensioners!!!
Yamaha- agree with OP that theyve had some weird arsed bikes, the in between of suzuki and kawasaki. very nice 2 strokes.

Even Slayer can't make that song good:

Though there is something woefully wrong with the mix

Saint anger = soft cam lobes in the early V4 motors.

Ahem, since it would be made from various thicknesses of steel plate its anemic outdated engine would never get it off the ground.

Harley Ferguson - Constant speed, variable noise.
