There's a couple around here that show up at local bike shows. E.g. the local Norton club has an annual "Gathering of the Nortons" show every April, and the H1's are usually there (ridden there). That said, they aren't any safer to ride now then they were 40 years ago -- you have to be slightly crazy to ride one of those things!!

The rarest bike I ever owned was a Montessa 349 Cota
I spent my therapy money an a K1200S
The therapy worked, I got a GS now
A touch of insanity crept back in the shape of an R1200R
