Have had a go on others pre war bikes, and riding them was scary for me as getting it wrong will be expensive and don't think I relaxed while riding the bike so handling was terrible.
Worst thing is the bikes have a unique way to start so if you stall the bike you have to go through a sort of ritual to get them going again.

Do it.
This is my dad's Matchless just after it was rebuilt. This spring I have to go with him to where its stored and ride it. God knows what condition it's in now.
