The 335 did even sell worse then the 330 while the 304 was sold in bigger numbers (I bought one too). Montesa too announced the 304 as a successor to the 242 also with monoshock. The 330 had a successor the 335 model, which is a monoshock version of the 330. The 330 was a further development of a design that came from the end of 70's beginning 80's when most factory's and riders still thought that a more powerful engine would do the job better with the peak bike of Montesa the mighty white 349 also called the "white wonder". ![]() But because the 242 had less power more "adjustable" and sensible and lighter too the complete handling aka riding was so much better. Montesa produced in the same time the 242 model which was and is much better to ride, less weight much more lively engine too less powerfull but when do you really need all power and all torque. Still a good bike but heavy and very powerfull moped, it shares a lot with the SWM Jumbo. ![]() Parts are not a serious problem in Europe but this bike is even in Europe not very common.
