The Honda 305 was the first 'full size' bike I had and damn I had some good times on that thing. Thought it was the fastest thing ever made! Lots of them for sale on the net, 3500-5000 seems to be the going asking price.

Much better to use your method....500 for the bike and about 10 g's in restoration!
