I have a 1999 Polaris Trailblazer for sale for 2,500 theres nothing with it at all the only reason is I have the childish need to be out in front (i'm 14). So if your interested email me at rebelforlife_1999@yahoo.com Thanks

 

BlazerBoy, That's a normal need for you, at 14. It's a childish need for me, I'm almost 38.

Yo Joel,
That's plenty or power. A 335 will be perfect for you. BUT, I suggest that you MUST get the MAGNUM 325 ->4x4. It's a little more $$$, but who cares! If you don't enjoy life while your alive, then you're pretty much screwd. If/when you get stuck with a 2-wheel drive, you will definately whish you went for the 4x4! >PLUS<, the Magnum 325 4x4 also has low range which is a must (for me if I had one) if you ever get caught in a slow going, hard situation, it will save your belt alot. Just my opinion. Just keep in mind the two more features the Mag 325 4x4 has, it will help you make the better decision.

 

One last question and I'll let this topic die.

Has anyone used Sam's Club buying program to buy an ATV. I used the program to buy my pickup and save $8000. Just wondering how good it might be for ATV's.

Oh no you won't let it die I have question!!!I see all these guy's saying buy the 335.WHY?Isn't it about the same weight and size as 500 I have friend that bought his wife 335 he has 500 and now they say they wish they had got her the 500.
My better half isn't big by any means and she rides and handles 500sp just fine.I really see no advantage to buying the small engine,any input welcomed I just don't understand reasoning.DD no matter what you say now I would bet that won't be long you'll be hitting the trails and be coming back with stories about how much fun you had just like the rest of us.This is from personal experience and some one that has been getting AARP mail longer than you have. LOL CM

I went to polaris site and got this comparision for the 27LBS difference I'd have the 500sp.

 

This is comparison on 335 and 500SP # on left side are 335 and right side 500

Nobody ever replyed why 335 over 500? CM

 

You know cob, i think you are rite, the 500 is more economical and that is what i would do. I ride a 450es, i went up against a friend with a Sportsman 500 and rode it, we raced, went mudding, hill climbing, and had a bet who could pull the the most round bails. He beat me in every categlory (i was riding the es), even though i am a better rider. I cant believe the ride of the 500, wow!!! I said some sh*t that i would not buy a polaris, and i was lying to my self. I deleted those posts, and that was the rite thing to do. Screw the Rubicon, i am getting the Sportsman 500 H.O. AKA "the king"!!!! You and Lurch are not like "some"<------(i dont wana start a fight) of the guys here you dont fight with them or use say **** like my quad is better than yours or my brand is better than ur brand.

 

I'd like to hear from 335 owner and see what the reasoning is behind that purchase over 500.CM
