The ‘Hachimaan’ GB350S made by Italy’s MAAN Motocicil (@motocicliaudaci) has been crowned the 2025 Honda Customs winner.
The 2025 competition built on the success of previous years, and put the spotlight on the A2-compliant GB350S – a bike loaded with retro style and evocative design details from front to back. Tapping into the simple, universal appeal of a motorcycle – two wheels, handlebars, an engine – the GB350S is the ideal template for the competition, allowing customizers to exercise their creativity, self-expression and individuality to the max.
