I'm feeling musical! 
Many YouTube versions. Me thinks Richard Thompson's voice is best here.

Oh says Red Molly to James "That's a fine motorbike.
A girl could feel special on any such like"
Says James to Red Molly "My hat's off to you
It's a Vincent Black Lightning, 1952.
And I've seen you at the corners and cafes it seems
Red hair and black leather, my favourite colour scheme"
And he pulled her on behind and down to Boxhill they did ride
Oh says James to Red Molly "Here's a ring for your right hand
But I'll tell you in earnest I'm a dangerous man.
For I've fought with the law since I was seventeen,
I robbed many a man to get my Vincent machine.
Now I'm 21 years, I might make 22
And I don't mind dying, but for the love of you.
And if fate should break my stride
Then I'll give you my Vincent to ride"
"Come down, come down, Red Molly" called Sergeant McRae
"For they've taken young James Adie for armed robbery.
Shotgun blast hit his chest, left nothing inside.
Oh come down, Red Molly to his dying bedside"
When she came to the hospital, there wasn't much left
He was running out of road, he was running out of breath
But he smiled to see her cry
He said "I'll give you my Vincent to ride"
Says James "In my opinion, there's nothing in this world
Beats a 52 Vincent and a red headed girl.
Now Nortons and Indians and Greeves won't do,
Ah, they don't have a soul like a Vincent 52"
Oh he reached for her hand and he slipped her the keys
Said "I've got no further use for these.
I see angels on Ariels in leather and chrome,
Swooping down from heaven to carry me home"
And he gave her one last kiss and died
And he gave her his Vincent to ride.

HONDA'S new RCV-based road bike has finallly broken cover after years of speculcation that the firm was working on such a machine.
The RC213V-S was unveiled this morning as a protype but is listed as a 2015 model.
No details have beeen released as yet but it's clear it's based on the 1000cc world-championship-winning RC213V MotoGP bike raced by Marc Marquez.
The prototype was ridden onto a stage at the Eicma motorcycle show in Milan this morning by world champion Marquez, who joked: 'This is my road bike, made just for me.'
The machine ridden by Marquez was matt black with carbon-fibre bodywork while a second version shown in press studio shots is in the colours of the Japanese flag.
