Welcome Smurf!
That would be a nice combination to see. I think the NIVA would fit the picture better than the newer design of the Suzuki.
If you contact Vincent you could even have it in matching colours:)

That is a rare beast in this part of the world! Welcome and I do hope you will seriously consider another Russian beast.

Hi Rehan
welcome to the Forum. Just keep looking there will be one out there with your name on it. Take your time and remember it is easier to fix a mechanical problem than to fix one with lots of rust.
