I've owned dirt bikes since I was 8 years old (30 years ago) and rode them between farms on the county roads as a kid all growing up. I bought a VFR800FI in 1999 and rode that until '06 upon which date I became bikeless the first time in my life until '09 when I got a dual sport bike (DR650SE), and bought a Hayabusa this year ('14 ABS Pearl Mira Red - since it reminded me so much of my beloved VFR paint color).
I've owned only crate stands for the dirt bikes, and had an ATV lift style stand when I owned my VFR (was pretty poor and it was a big expense for me) and have never owned a rear lift or a fork lift stand. I'm curious about what sixpack577 wrote, that even if he had a Bursig (frame lift) stand, that he wouldn't get rid of his forklift stand. Why is that? Is there a reason someone should have both?
I bought the Bursig this time around because it seems to do all things better than fork/rear lift stands alone/together can do; you can lift the bike by yourself, you can rotate/move the bike around and it will remain stable while it is on the stand, you can adjust the lift to raise either the front or rear more if required and it lifts both ends at once. I'm just hoping you're not telling me that if I plan to work on this bike by myself, that I'll eventually need to *also* buy a fork lift/rear stand someday??
