Cedric Smith's Honda CBR1800RR Goldwing

No, it’s not a joke. Far from it, it’s not a Honda prototype either. It’s the creation of Mr. Cedric Smith, a citizen of the state of Washington in the United States. This two-wheel enthusiast salvaged the remains of a Honda Goldwing in poor condition. After that, he decided to reinvent it to build the beauty you have above these lines.

Apparently, after an accident, the Goldwing ended up totally unusable in terms of bodywork and part of the chassis. The good news, though, is that the frame and engine were in perfect condition. As flawless as Mr. Smith’s mind, which came up with an incredible idea. He bought the bodywork from a CBR1000RR Fireblade and, as if that weren’t enough, painted it in the colours of the Repsol Team.

According to Smith himself, his idea was to do a complete job using Honda parts. Unfortunately, he had to use the fork from a GSX-R. The frame, as we said, is the one the Goldwing used, as is the engine, which is the same 1800cc six-cylinder boxer engine it previously fitted.

Seen at first glance, it’s truly surprising. Can you imagine the power-to-weight ratio this bike may have compared to the Goldwing? The engine delivers 110 hp but, I’m completely sure, it won’t weigh the 410 kilos that the touring bike weighs.
