I guess you need to get the one with the best service plan

My take is if my bikes will be lifted a few feet off the ground I am making damn welll sure they dont come tumbling down because of inferior products.

I have given up on the handy stands for that reason. seen first hand them failing a few times including with my track bike.

F the service plan. You know I got the lift shit taken care of. I still have the sears jacks. Use it sometimes. But not much ever beats my actual lift.

The service plan was a little joke aimed at someone else from another thread

hmm, alot of you guys are posting up lifts..........2 entirely diff things then a stand. and the lifts won't work w/ sportbike fairings in place and prolly not even if you took the fairings off.


the abba stand doesn't lift both ends of the bike up. nor is it movable.

and none are movable like this bursig stand.

It's par for the course.

Tigger tells us how little to spend and Gas Man tells us how much to spend, with pics. Neither has anything to do with the topic at hand.

The bursig stand looks great. A little pricey but more convenient and compact than front and rear stands.

Plus, like you said, you can still move the bike while on it.

Nice elegant device.

It *might* work on one out of the four bikes I'm working on, but if the bike fits it certainly looks easier to use.

Only thing that would concern me is that it seems to have a fairly small footprint, and a top-heavy bike might be pretty easy to knock over onto the left side.

I'm still sticking with my engine hoist for flexibility.
