Yamaha 305 BIG BEAR SCRAMBLER description

I found this beauty in an antique store, so I think this 49 year old classic falls under the category of a genuine "Barn Find".   The speedometer shows a reading of only 4 miles, and judging by the overall condition of the bike, it could very well be original mileage.  However, I can't gaurantee this as I am not the original owner, and I have no prior history of the bike. On inspection I found the oil pump had been removed, (possibly robbed for parts by selling dealer?), so it is set to run on a 32-1 pre-mix. I removed and inspected the top end, cylinders and pistons, and found absolutely no signes of wear, consistent with the 4 mile speedometer reading. The air cleaner also appeared spotlessly clean and original.   Engine and frame numbers are matching numbers.  The bike starts easily and runs great and  in general is in excellent overall condition for its vintage.
