Thanks Matchless appreciate the reply. Does anyone know of anything to watch out for on the 16h's?

Thanks Matchless really do appreciate the reply and I shall seek advice when I find what seems to be the right one. Hadnt thought about a g3wo could be interesting. Not had a side valve yet so not sure of the benefits v disadvantages Trying my best to get a bit more knowledgable on the bikes of the period and the correct an incorrect details. Been reading the forces motorcycles book as well

Hey everyone hope we are all well. Just turned 30 an starting to look into getting my first ww2 bike with the aim of using it regularly. (Currently ride a Norton 650ss as a daily) my grandpa was in the desert rats so thinking of riding a wd bike to pay respects to him miss him alot. Main two I've been looking at are the Norton 16h and the Bsa WM20 and was wondering which is the easier to live with as an every day bike or any preference handing or reliability between the two? Any other standout models saw the Velo's are quite rare an the Matchless g3l has conventional forks. Not experienced girder forks though so quite curious to own and ride a bike with those. Thanks in advance, Tom aka norton.rider on instagram and youtube.
