I bought an 05 330 for my woman to ride, it has a solid axle and she loves it. I wanted to trade it in for 500 EFI once she got use to riding, bad thing is she likes the magnum so much she wont let me trade it in for a NEW 500 EFI.
We went riding last weekend with a few friends one of which is an ATV guru he has a King Quad 700 that he bored out to a 750 did a TON of work to make the thing a TON faster than a stock KQ with everything you can put on one to make it faster. Another friend was riding a 02 Raptor 660R only thing stock on this bike is the frame and the lights and is simply a BEAST I have rode it. She was on their ass all day long on her 330 like white on rice. I still with less than 30 miles on the 800 stayed back with the rest of the group who rode slower and let them go ahead.
At the end of the day they both commented to me how well she rides and they were trying to push her and she how well she rides and were both VERY VERY impressed how well she handled her little 330 and was able to keep up with both of them with no problems at all.
If she is happy with I am happy with it for sure.
