(Just offering a suggestion....not assuming you don't already know this...) Be gentle on the first few "kick-overs" to get it started. If it hasn't been turned-over in many years, I would pull the plug and spray some penetrating lube into the top end and let it sit for a day before kick-starting. Might even want to turn it by hand before using your foot, just to make sure the internals are still friends.
Sounds like the bike is in GREAT shape! Let us know how it goes!

 

Where are the pics!
