the much maligned "Plastic maggot" or Honda CX500. (The Germans called it "Gullepumpe" - get Winglad to translate).

A 'Güllepumpe' is used to pump Gülle/Guelle (if you don't have an umlaut key) which is the liquid you get after draining water through a very large pile of cow dung into a tank - the farmers spray it onto the fields as fertiliser and everyone who lives nearby knows about it from the stink!
The description is not intended as a compliment, but the CX is now quite sought after - don't know why?

Well, even it sound some funny being named "Güllepumpe" - fact is that Honda built same 2-cylinder engine to mobile pumps for firefighting and farming.
Japs multipurpose...

Once a biker saw this, nickname was born for ever .

Forgot about Winglad calling it a sludge pump, although I do remember the conversation
