    Canadian 84 1150E original paint scheme?

    I just picked up an 84 1150E. It needs paint for sure as it has what appears to be a spray bomb job on it now. I thought it was a somewhat original scheme but perusing the 1984 Suzuki Brochure it only lists the bike as coming in red, not red and black. Although the red and black would look cool I want to restore it to original, does anyone have insight, as said it is a Canadian bike.

    Thanks

      My memory is a little vague due to time and multiple motorcycles having passed but I remember this as an "84.

        I checked the gallery: It's a mystery but it is starting to appear that the Canadian 1150E was all red, the EF had a couple of different choices (my previous 84EF was red and black). I think someone spraybombed my bike into the 85 US black and red scheme. I really don't care for all red but I sure like the 85 or 86 White and blue scheme which was probably a US thing. I'll start sanding it down next week and see what I decide I guess, all red will be easier that's for sure.
