I've used mine on some slippery and muddy green lanes with no dramas. Sure a decent off road bike would leave it for dead amd be much easier to ride, but it didn't get stuck and was fun! As has been mentioned, the stock tyres are a big surprise, and work pretty well for a road based tyre.
However, if you did get stuck, as I have many a time on enduro bikes, it'd be a pig to pull out with the extra weight. But that's not what it's designed for, so I can live with that. Changing the front rim would give a better tyre choice, changing the rear might give you clearance issues on the swingarm, and you can get a reasonable tyre already. Ground clearance could be better, but would spoil the lovely handling on the road.
I've made my own heavy duty steel bash plate, as the stock is pants. I've also changed the footpegs, as the stock ones have the same friction qualities as an icicle when wet and muddy!
I love my Scrambler!
