| Kurt, I wonder how much work it is to get the center or back end stand down on this scooter. |

| I would have the same system on mine as the Beemer 1200 It has a motorised centre stand. Besides if that was not an option, knowing my way around pnue.. err pneu err. compressed air systems, I could easily rig up a sidestand with compressor, tank and cylinder etc. etc. |

| I doubt it would be that much harder to put up on the stand. That scooter can't be much heavier if at all than my Goldwing's 850lbs. Add to that the longer wheel base so you wouldn't be lifting as much of it's total weight and I'd bet it's pretty easy. I kinda like the tandem scooter but those other bikes look like more show than go to me. I've never liked choppers for the same reason when form gets too far ahead of function I don't see much point in it. |
