Ten builders representing ten European countries created ten 750cc custom builds, five based on the CB750 Hornet and five on the XL750 Transalp.

Builders from 10 countries each getting their hands on a CB750 Hornet and an XL750 Transalp — that's the good stuff. The same base turning into a completely different face depending on who touches it and how. The on-road versus off-road theme is interesting too, testing each builder's interpretation of the material. If you go there yourself, you'd see — a lineup of 10 bikes like this is culture itself. 30,000-plus votes is proof the builders' passion is genuinely landing.

When this kind of buzz picks up, custom parts prices tend to climb right along with it.

I wonder how they actually pick one entry each from 10 countries.

It's an official competition run through hondacustoms.com, so entries should be selected by each country's dealer.

Doing this kind of show in Biarritz has become a yearly tradition.

Wish BMW and Triumph would run custom competitions like this too.

Doesn't a voting system just end up favoring whichever country goes viral on social media?

Setting it up as a 5-vs-5 showdown between the CB750 Hornet and Transalp is a fun format.

Whether builders go on-road or off-road probably reveals their whole philosophy.
