I parked the rocket next to an unrestored '31 Scout on the weekend, stick shift, springer front and rigid rear - coolest bike I've ever seen and sounded awesome! Still had the original exhaust. The owner inherited it from his Pa who bought it new. I did note that apparently this model is cooled by keeping ALL of the engine oil on the outside - owner said that in 80+ years there wasn't a single day when it hadn't leaked.
Parked on the other side was an early 70's Ducati 860 (I think it was a GT??) in pretty good condition. In the hour I was having lunch I watched almost everyone - young, old and inbetween stop and look at all 3 bikes, but it was definitely the Scout that got the bulk of the attention!
