The Honda NTV650 Green Goblin Custom Motorcycle by Wimoto

Wimoto takes a Honda ‘NTV650′ motorcycle and turns it into this sinister cafe racer dubbed the ‘Green Goblin’. Created by Netherlands-based bike fabricator Wido Veldkamp, he and his garage originally built this bike as a gift for his wife to learn to ride on.

Based on a Honda ‘NTV650′ (1988-1997), Wimoto knew that the donor bike was unattractive, with little potential, plus it had the perfect opportunity to flex its muscles in fabrication. It initially planned to build a scrambler, however, after fitting its handlebars, headlight, and seat, it didn’t take the form it craved. Wimoto then experimented with a half-fairing and found it completely lifted the bikes appearance, changing its focus to a café racer style.

The ‘Green Goblin’s’ 1990s-style half-fairing is positioned to intersect the diagonal line of the frame, masking the bottom edge of the tank with its green finish. At the rear, Wimoto mounts a bespoke aluminum seat pan and cowl on a modified subframe, while trigger has wrapped the seat and grips in aged tan leather. The bike also features rebuilt suspension by hk, plus fresh white powder-coated rims to contrast the green elegantly, both wrapped in sporty Maxxis tires. The bike's lighting is completely revised with its LED headlamp and tail-light mounted to its front-fender bolts. When the time arrived to apply its attractive finish, Q at spray solutions laid the siniter ‘racing green’ paint.
