Is 500$ reasonable to change water pump?

Hey guys just had my water pump changed on my 2005 R50.

It cost me 500$ and i wanted to know if that is a reasonable price. Just the pump itself was 330$....
Luckily i'm friends with the mechanic and he only charged me 3hrs labor.

What have you guys paid?

Yeah, that's reasonable. That's a couple hours job because of where it is located. The problem I have is the price of the pump seems a little high. I think they are actually around $200 ... don't quote me though -- that may have been for a refurbished.
