I’ve been using reasonably priced stands for years and not once had a problem of a bike being poorly supported or fall. Just take time to adjust them properly and they’ll serve you fine. You don’t need stands that cost hundreds of £’s or $’s.

There are plenty of riders who have used cheaper stands and not had a problem for sure. There are also plenty of stories from riders who learned this lesson the hard way. IMO there are better places to save a few bucks than a set of motorcycle stands. The purpose of this is to show even though they may look similar in the photos they are not all created equal. All riders should do their own research before purchasing so their expectations match the end result. Thanks for sharing your experience. - Brian Van

I was an engineer at one of the very best machine tool builders (lathes, machining centers, tooling, etc) in the world.

This is why all these things are so closely regulated in the aerospace industry. Trust me, the Far East still has a lot to learn about building reliable, durable products.

Notice the only one he tries to bend are $100+ stand vs a $ harbor freight stand. I can't bent my trackside stands with any reasonable amount of force, that includes standing on it while its on its side. Ill give you alot of the fork lift stands are sketchy, some better than others. But by the logic of this video, bike stands should be made out of 3" solid steal bar. That way if you try to use is as a shackle between two trucks doing a tug of war, your bike won't fall over? 🤷‍♂️ lol.

He ain't wrong. The pitbull stuff is just miles ahead of less expensive stands in terms of quality and strength. You buy a pitbull stand you're never going to have to replace it if you're using it for it's intended purpose. and it's going to have no problems supporting any bike on the market. You can put a bike up on a pitbull stand and then sit on the bike, and you'll feel completely stable. I tried sitting on my 675 while it was up on a HF equivalent stand and it didn't feel secure at all getting up on the bike. After I got off I could see that one of the pipes had flexed. I haven't owned any woodcraft stands, but if their stands are like they crash protection products, they're also going to be excellent.

Yea dude... Bending stands like a pro :)

@@TheBeagleBrigade I get it, but like I said I don't play around much with the bike when it's on the stand. It holds it perfectly fine being a smaller bike (2019 MT-09). I would also recommend getting the Pitbull IF you can afford it. Some can't.

Bro his videos are the real deal. Hes just letting you know the difference in the stands and in his opinion. He has the best videos on gear too. Does he promote the stuff he sells, yes he does but he only sells a few brands and its because he has chosen what he thinks is the best for riders. He has a store he could have everything brand but he doesnt. He does however find the best of the best for people who are on a cheap budget. His sense of humor is dry sometimes but he was having fun. Look at some gear vids. You will change your mind

I been using a track side stand for 6 years with no issue. I just had to grind away some metal that was blocking my chain adjuster but it work fine. It would been more convincing if you would of done a strength test with the force pushing down on the stands, like if a bike was on it, to see how and when it would fail.

@sportbiketrackgear

The issue is instability caused by lateral force not direct load. When you work on the bike on the stand it moves around. The weaker the stand, the more it moves and becomes unstable. I stand behind the fact I should not be able to destroy a stand designed to hold a 400 + pound machine. - Van

I'm living in another side of the world and I have to say that I do trust strongly in US & EURO goods. From an engineering standpoint, they are reliable and durable. I bought a pitbull stand many years ago and I must say it still stand strong in the test of time. There are other items that I do buy such as flyscreen, fairings, protection and etc. Lasted years and years eventhough through the rough and tough. As a rider, I do compare the cheaper alternatives to the harder ones in terms of durability, history of R&D and few other components such as quality and material. Depends on each individual on choosing which investments that will last a lifetime or rather the economical side of things. Each person to your own and its all about the passion of sharing your interest, especially the freedom to ride. Safety is still no. 1 and I support BV for sharing his knowledge and practical everyday tests on the quality. Cheers.

Using the price of a bike as your number when discussing a bike is totally stupid, right? Sure, he could have used a bigger number, but why is it necessary? And this is some common term, where there's some sense of "proper" now? I think you're just being An Idiot .. ahahaha ...

I think that's a young guy thing or one who's never went on the mile slide. That's a way too common truth in cheap, but as long as they look the part... Then everyone's insurance goes up because of cheap gear, parts, and a bad injury combined due to nature of cheap. They may save a few dollars, but the group will pay the price as insurers calculate new risk assessment for another year.

No bending or flexing and my bikes live on their stand after 2 years zero issues. Show us how the stands break with bikes on them as they are designed for. Yeah..... didn't think so. Nice gains.

It's something I've never had to worry about. Back in the day when my 600 lb. '88 Katana 1100 was made most bikes came with center stands that worked amazingly well. 32 years and 114,000 km later mine's sitting in the parking lot on the center stand right now. I understand manufacturers want to make the bikes light and all but at 68 years old I don't think I could put a bike on a stand alone stand like that, ... at least not without someone else holding the bike straight. I've watched one vlogger do it by himself with old GSXR 1100's though so I guess it can be done.
