[QUOTE="El Toro, post: 1270789, member: 14779"] The easiest large bike to put on the centerstand in my memory is/was the ST1100. Honda had the geometry down perfectly, and it would nearly set itself up on the stand. Plus there was a very nice little fold out handle that would allow you to get a good grab for easy force application. The worst I can remember, and it wasn't that large a bike, was the Moto Guzzi Norge. I owned a 2007, and it was lighter than the ST1100, but it was much harder to put on the stand. The FJR is somewhere in the middle, at least the Gen II is in my opinion. Yamaha is pretty clever though, so maybe the Gen III is better in this regard. I think I remember that the Gen I was a bit lighter, and so maybe Gen II is the worst? Sigh.... Congratulations on your new bike!! [/QUOTE]
