Hi guys,

I think of buying this stand from Louis.de, but says max load 150 kg. Is that too little to keep the rear end of the GSXF off ground? I reckon that most of the weight of the bike is... or rather, it's more heavy at the front end than rear. So 150 kg should do it?

Do you know of any other good alternatives to that one, preferably for sale in Europe?

These are some of the best stands you can buy, but they are a 20 more than the one you are looking at.

You'll be fine, you can even sit on the bike with no problem!
Front/Rear weight is probably 55/45 for our bike. So that makes about 110kg on the rear wheel.

Ah great! Thanks, that was my concern that it wouldn't be able to lift the bike safely.

Super! Then I don't wanna waste money on the "deluxe" version and just go for the cheaper stand :)
