I think I'm having trouble finding this month's Bike of the Month. When I click on where it should be, all that comes up is a incomplete, pumpkin colored Katana, missing the seat, side covers, & the katana fairing. Also looks like they painted over a rusty exhaust can without removing the rust.... Or maybe it's just me.1983 GS1100E, 1983 CB1100F, 1991 GSX1100G, 1996 Kaw.

Another Kat, in any form, that is back on the road and not parted out is a good thing.
Good rescue, Mike.2@ \'78 GS1000Comment

82 1100 Kats are quite rare in North America as only Canada received a few hundred of them. And to rescue one from its previous abomination (including a chopped frame and sissy bar) is a great thing.
That Kat engine has the factory goodies that only 82 1000 and 1100s received. So while it may not be as pretty as a stock Kat, you're the one having a blast riding the snot out of it!
Farmer Mike, if you want to keep going and need any Kat parts, send me a pm.Scott

My lips are zipped!
But in defense of Bike of the Month. Maybe there wasn't enough top quality photos to choose from.
But yeah, I remember when if your background wasn't just right you got kicked out of consideration.
Thumbs up to this fellow. He nailed the background. He also got the motorcycle up and running and looking the way he likes it. 👍My Motorcycles:
