My motor sans turbo, downpipe and muffler weighs under 120. The transaxle is 70lbs tops. I figure 225 complete and full of coolant.
The whole car weighs in around 1400lbs

And the Goldwing is replacing your motor with one that produces a lot more HP.
The last dyno I saw of a Goldwing was almost identical to that of a Miata.

How about a Rocket engine in a Triumph Spitfire? Triumph on Triumph goodness there

In reply to FlightService:
That was the first thing I was thinking with the Rocket III. I was a bit bummed that I couldn't do it in Street Mod under the umbrella of Triumph Car, Triumph Engine. Turns out they specify a car engine
Would've been awesome, though. Sequential gearbox, 140 hp, 150 ft-lb torque (at 2500 RPM!) stock. That'd move a Spitfire right along. And then there are the forced induction kits... I do wonder how tall that engine is, though. And what it weighs...
How many other like-brand motorcycle engine/car body swaps could there be? Hayabusa-powered Swift under the Suzuki banner? Blackbird-powered Honda N600?

Ultra complicated way to make the same power as stock, I love it!
