Well this one I am borrowing from a co-worker that has a yzf600. Haven't been able to get in touch with him before I pick it up.FROM WORK:
"let's just say you are my favorite.I like a response back on the same day from work issues, not like a work husband who kind of heard a request and mentions it weeks later. just damn"

Maybe they think it means pooOriginally posted by soulless kaosbut personaly I dont see a point in a 1000 you can get the same power from a properly tuned 600 with less weight and better handeling.

A centerstand isn't an option for me, but I'm curious, why do you prefer the centerstand Cyber? Going through maintenance stuff in my head I don't see anything that would be easier with one that is more difficult with the other.
Just picking your brain.90% of motorcycle forum members do not have a service manual for their bike.

Because the centerstand is ALWAYS in place when you need it.
That means you can do what you need to anywhere you happen to be, rather than just at home (or the shop) where the rear-stand is.
It also means being able to park on hot asphalt or loose sand without worries of the bike tipping over, knowing that if someone climbs on the bike (neighbor's kids for example) it won't tip over, being able to clean/lube/adjust the chain anywhere, and I feel it makes fixing a nail or screw-hole in the tire on the road much, much easier...
Or to put it another way: the ZX-14 doesn't come with one stock, but it's an optional Kawasaki item (and the ZX-14 one is pricier than any rear-stand on the market, I might add). I still immediately ordered one when I got the bike and installed it shortly after it arrived.
