I'd look for a good 500 instead of the low powered 335.Plus it was only made a couple years and people are having trouble on getting parts as many are nla now.

The 500 has a lot more power as Opt said. I've ridden a 335 before and its painfully slow.

I'd still stay away from it for the simple reason it was only made a couple years and a lot of repair parts are getting hard to find. Several people on the forum have had problems on finding parts.This was not a very successful selling model. Stay with a model/brand that's been around a while.

I'd look for a Scrambler 500 4x4. A lot sportier and can be found for not a lot more than that.
