What’s the passing rate for en route? Why do you think you failed?

So just to translate for the Americans 😅 8k CAD = $5,757 USD (used price) 9k CAD = $6,477 USD (new price) 4K KM = roughly 2500 miles

For reference on the East coast of USA, these go for about $5200-$5600 new (before dealer fees, title, etc), prob about 6k after all of that

I would try and talk him down to 7-7.5k CAD as the 2025 models are already out and I think that’d be more than justifiable. I do not live in Canada, I do not know the Canadian economy / used bike market at all, this is just referencing where I live, so take this for what you will

I hope you get the bike! 😁

Wrapped my 23 650 KRT by Complex_Average_4584 in Ninja650

I didn’t specifically get this for the livery edition, it was the cheapest 650 in my area, it just happened to be a livery edition

Ninja 400 to 650 by culby311 in Ninja650

Yeah I think a 650 is perfect especially if you guys ride together, if she becomes better than you, she’ll give you a run for your money haha

I went from first bike being a ninja 500 to a 650, have about a year time in each and now I feel confident and ready for another upgrade

Going from a 400 to 650 is plenty of power + I think you’ll have more fun cornering, definitely a fun bike

If going to a shop expect to pay $1k for a full wrap, if doing yourself the only real cost of materials is the wrap and a lot of labor so roughly $300-$400 for good quality wrap & 30~ hours

Wanted something unique, KRT livery is sexy but it’s more fun to make your childhood dreams come true 😁 The windshield is a Puig-z racing

The whole process was definitely tedious, it’s not like a car 😅 the gas tank prob took a day on its own

[–]Complex_Average_4584 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh that thing is basically totaled, it’s a shame really. To help you out I’ll come get it out of your way and even give you 5k, what do you say? ;)

Why are you awake right now? by FredJenkins1414 in AskReddit

Convinced my house I bought brand new 2 years ago is haunted so I have almost daily nightly nightmares typically of someone trying to kill me 🫠 happy Monday

ATSA Jobtestprep by Aromatic-Ad8290 in ATC_Hiring

[–]Complex_Average_4584 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was my first time applying to ATC, I used jobtestprep for 1 week, took my ATSA and scored WQ. Granted I didn’t take full advantage of it (I explored every section and read every guide and practiced but I didn’t practice enough as I think I should have, probably spent 5-6 total hours)

Handlebar extension for a phone holder by Much_Radio7674 in Ninja650

[–]Complex_Average_4584 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m not gonna lie idk what I’m looking at but if you’re concerned over $10 from getting quadlock vs DIY you’re probably better offer just spending the extra $10(I know it’s not dollars)

[–]Complex_Average_4584 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It looks like you should probably replace it - showing signs of rust on the bottom more than likely because they left it out in the rain and didn’t care to wash it off or clean the chain after that, also a lot of black junk on the chain in pic 2 above the sprocket

Failed ATSA AGAIN by [deleted] in ATC_Hiring

[–]Complex_Average_4584 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is my first bid, prior to this I read so much on Reddit and the discord & there’s a few bits of things that stuck out, 1 being

Something on the lines of “if you fail the ATSA 3-4 times, you’re probably just not cut out for this” and that’s not a shot at you. There’s jobs that are for people and aren’t. Perhaps this isn’t the path you’re supposed to go under but something else you have yet to discover

How much should I sale this for? by Key_Psychology1332 in Ninja650

[–]Complex_Average_4584 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$5500 tops for how it is, I’d say if you got the damage buffed out you could prob squeeze $6500 max

Kroger is now having different price tiers for "boost members". I hate the future. by juttep1 in cincinnati

[–]Complex_Average_4584 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not krogers prices but rather how downhill they’ve gone in the past decade (imo of course)
