    I saw the full commercial when I was a kid and have loved Grace Jones ever since. Bad-ass. 👍

    I think the "I'll take you" version only showed on MTV.

    0:26 you don't see where Grace's hand went but it seems to have a positive effect on Adam.

    When I first saw this commercial in my junior high days, I didn't know who these 2 were; but what I DID know was that they really made me laugh! Grace is SO cartoonish here! 😂
    Then years later I looked it up & was all, "Wait a sec, that's Adam Ant?!!!" 😂

    Yeah...this aired in this exact form on broadcast TV in Charlotte and Atlanta in the early '80s. I don't recall any outrage.

    I remember this commercial very well! At first they did show the ear biting one, then all the goofballs 'got offended' and they cut that part out and shortened the commercial,.

      Grace Jones was amazing, but far ahead of her time for the 1980s. Too many people were afraid of her.

    You are correct. I saw it on MTV when it first came on in the 80's. Yep, I'm really that old. LOL!

    i remember seeing this commercial, but it would cut off immediately after he says "i'll take it."

    This commercial made a big impression on me. I think it appeared in 1983. I was only 6.

    I’ve owned three of the models shown! aero 50, aero 80, and elite 80. They’re everything she said and more!

    My dad bought me a Honda Elite when I turned 15 in '84. Even though it turned out to be a POS, I road the hell out of it. RIP dad.

    It looks rather modern for a 1982 model.

      It wasn't that long ago and despite the grainy looking clips that people show sometimes... When the stuff really came out for the first time it looked clean

    This commercial would never air in the U.S. in the 1980s

      well it must have because they never sold these motorbikes in Europe they would have been too big for the road
