Have you tried/installed nvme-cli and/or xnvme

I wonder if your issues come from buggy nvme modules

If MS was to sell less licenses than there out there, or claims more than actual, I would suspect there would a tax-ivasion liability against them. So if they have claimed sales of 3bil then they brag of 4bil users, someone would notice.

On the other hand, in terms of anonymity of browsing you’d rather be identified as one of the many with the exact same setup than being unique. TB actually used this to even the mozilla version that was most popular, and even advised not to adjust the default screen size or window size to merge with the “croud”.

But you have a valid concern, when rags come out and say 97% don’t use linux/bsd when in fact 14% do.

Using vanilla ff or chrome is the worst possible way to protect your personal information. https://digdeeper.neocities.org/articles/browsers

I saw this bike in Daytona before it had reached showrooms, I can’t recall if it was Lawson or someone famous, basically they opened the box, slopped some tires on, removed lights, and took it racing. It was as if all other bikes were 500s and this 900 was just lapping them. Very intimidating to someone who had just gotten a year old gpz750 and thought was hot. This bike felt like it leaped back from the future.

SHOEI also had just released a special Porsche designed helmet with kevlar/glass hybrid in red/gray ninja which I believe Kawasaki offered as the original Ninja helmet. White/blue came years later. This bike surpassed in life both the gpz1000rx and zx10r top-gun, and in some markets it was sold new deep into the 90s. Years later there was a shaft-driven version in 1000 called concourse in the us, GTR everywhere else. That was a great touring bike, maybe the best I’'ve ever ridden. These days when you say GTR all people know is the 1400 plastic boat.

There was something about that era of bikes that made them feel more real and that you were riding them, instead of feeling fake, fragile, and riding on their own now. You get on a SS bike these days and it just seems to turn just with the thought of it, and no matter what you do the bike turns the same exact way on the same turn all the time. None of this “am I going to make it past the apex or am I going to eat dirt” kind of excitement. :)

Back on its day this bike became quickly famous for its handling, probably a decade ahead of its time, and the smaller alternative to GSXR750 (600 came much later).

It was also known for a design fault in the engine case where it would run dry of oil and mess up cranks and gear boxes, something the 750 and 1000 engines didn’t have. It was almost bad enough for a recall, I am not sure if it was ever.

This brief moment of development to have 16" front wheels came at a time when forks were still perceived as glorified noodles, and the 16" was calling for a much more rigid fork to compensate for the light steering effect. By the time better forks appeared (45-50mm up.si.do) the sportsbike industry shifted to 17" wheels, more manageable by common mortals, quicker than 18. MotoGP bikes appeared larger on photos than they actually were because of their special 16.5" wheels, few people knew this. When a motogp bike stood next to a sup.sport production bike. it looked like a minibike, and the GP riders were mostly mini-size as well.

The VFR series bikes at the time was what Honda offered as sport bikes, not touring bikes as later vfr. This was before the CBR-rr frenzy. The line went 500, 750, then there were VF1000 and VF1000R. The last was a limited production supersport of the time, and people either loved it or hated. There was so much hi-tech that went to the vf1000r at the time it appealed more to engineers than sportbike riders. This bike had HRC written all over it, and was nothing like the rest of the VFs. Although riding it didn’t impress people as much as the tech. it carried.

Sorry for the long history lesson “kids” :)

There were G bikes that had shaft drive in late 70s early 80s that found their own special market, but this was like a recent retro revival of those gsxxxG bikes, early 90s I think. The motor’s fins reveal the oil cooled head and top cylinder Suzuki of late 80s GSXR, later found on GSF Bandit bikes when GSXR turned to water cooling. The tanny seems like a modified chain system being on the left.

This must have been Suzuki’s answer to the BMW K success, if there was any, but it was BMW’s last effort to maintain the moto-industry as the R bike had fizzled and caused great losses. BMW K bikes would have only dreamed to have the power characteristics of the Suzuki motor. Great era and a great cross between air cooling and water-cooling.

Sweet bike if you could learn to tolerate the gyro effect of the shaft drive and the weight. I don’t know if this model sold much if any in US or may have been a gray import from a returning soldier from Euro tour.

Brakes seem very 90s too, even world class racers would have wished to have such in the 80s.

I also find it surprising clean in design for Suzuki who was notorious of designing Japanese dragons with wheels. :)

although you speak of $ I am not sure this is US or not. A title is either free clear in the name of the owner or had a lien on it and you can only transfer the ownership with a lien release. If the CU accepts for you to take over the balance of the loan, a new lien will have to go on your title for the old one to be released. The difference with a clean title and lien release in your hands is additional lien placement/removal fees charged by mva/dmv.

It doesn’t matter whether he owes $11k or $1k on it, a lien is a lien. If it is smaller than the price he gets the balance, if it is higher he has to pay the difference for you to get the bike. When you buy a vehicle new and drive 100yd off the shop with it, it has lost about 20-30% of its value. Except in rare cases of high demand limited models you were lucky to have ordered long before everyone else wanted one. You change your mind and sell it at the spot, with a 100% financing, you end up paying 25-30% off your pocket for the sale. It doesn’t seem fair, it is market dictated reality for the past 50years maybe.

For a 3 yold bike, I’d say 50% msrp is about expected.
