Nice, but I'd rather have a restored Norton Commando. I worked for Norton as Development/Test Engineer in the mid-1960s and did about 35,000 miles testing on the prototype Commandos.
After we arrived in Seattle in 1968 to take a job with Boeing, I looked at all the little old ladies driving 45 mph on the freeway in their Oldsmobile 98s, peeering through the steering wheel and probably not seeing the end of the hood that clearly, and decided I didn't want DW to open the front door to a stern-faced State Trooper.
I've never owned a bike since and, though I miss riding, I'm getting past it at 73.
