Sakura - my recently (fall 08) acquired 86 was the same color as yours. In fact before I saw it, I never even knew suzuki made that color in the savage.
Mine has 2500 miles, was bought in 90 ridden till 91 and parked while the owner had to leave for alabama in a hurry and forgot about it he said. He said his uncle had it in a storage building.
It had carbs had black tar in them, the gas tank was ironically empty having been emptied into the carbs and the air box and then presumably to the ground ...
But it had fresh clean oil, and a broken starter clutch. I would have guessed someone had tried to start it after the owner fled, and busted the starter clutch, taken it to the shop, found out what the cost was, and refitted it hoping no one will notice.
Anyway, my paint was decent, all the metal that was chromed was pitted with rust. Someone told me that was due to the place having lots of chloride ... like pesticides around the bike.
Anyway I have much of it powdercoated for now in the same blue as the body.
Cool.
Srinath.
