Wheels & Waves is one of the events I want to check out with my own eyes every year. This year Honda ran a competition based on the CB750 Hornet and XL750 Transalp? The choice of theme itself is interesting. A production naked and an adventure bike, transformed by builders' hands - this is a contest of who does what with it. Photos alone convey maybe half of it. Go there in person and you'll understand - you have to breathe in that energy along with the smell of metal shavings in the garage.

There's a dedicated site, Hondacustoms.com? I didn't know that.

Biarritz always puts out this great atmosphere combining surf and motorcycles.

A custom based on the Transalp is rare to see, so it feels fresh — probably harder to pull off than a naked bike.

Wheels and Waves is already on its 7th edition — Biarritz's custom culture has really taken root.

Using the CB750 Hornet and XL750 Transalp as custom bases is a bold choice, and I like it.

Don't Honda's project customs usually end up prioritizing shock value over practicality every time?
