I have given them money, so now I can submit this (click on image to embiggen)

To translate: I now own a 1987 Suzuki Savage 650. It happens to be purple. I am picking it up tomorrow.
Does anyone know if there's anyone in the Boston area who is looking for a starter bike? My Rebel 250 has done well by me for many a long year and I'm looking forward to seeing her off to another newb.

Many many thanks to ectropy  for pointing me towards my not-oft seen friends, C & P, who apparently could part with such a lovely bike.
