Since my first couple finds fell through I wanted to post here to let potential sellers know I am looking for one. I want something that my girlfriend can take out with me when I'm on the dirt bike and something I can ride as well. I'm leaning more towards the 250 simply because of the price point, but a 350 would be great at the right price. I live in the Black hills region of South Dakota and would be willing to drive probably 3 hours max to get one.

If you have one or know of anyone that does I would appreciate it. Thanks for your time.

If she is going to be following you at any speed over 25mph, you're going to need an FL350.

The FL250 will beat her to death and isn't fast enough to keep up with anything other than another FL250 Ody or maybe a child's quad.

Been there done that....wasn't fun. The FL350 will do 65mph WOT (Wide Open Throttle) while the FL250 is maybe 45mph WOT (Wide Open Throttle). What makes the FL250 hard to ride is the lack of suspension which will bounce and jar the hell out of you. Don't get me wrong, they are a lot of fun but the FL350 is a much better vehicle.

In one of your other post's you said you worked at a Local Honda dealer, I would put up a flyer at work so people can see it when they come in, you never know somebody might see it and remember they have a odyssey in the garage and want to get rid of it.
Also post on Craigslist in the wanted section and ATV section saying you are looking for a odyssey..
Something will show up, just keep looking.

Gotta agree with Rand :-) Like I said earlier, if you can pull of getting a 350 by just waiting for one to pop at the right price or saving up for one, you'll be better off. You'll both love the 350 over the 250 espically when your sticking your girlfriend in it, it's a lot safer plus has reverse if she gets stuck in a jam. Believe me, that reverse pays for itself :-)
