If no traffic is around, I can duck walk it back with the balls of my feet. I'm no where near both feet flat on the Ninja - even less so on the Honda.

If the slope or ground conditions are not good for backing into a spot along a street or when only one space is open, I'll dismount and walk it back, steering with both hands on the bars and using the clutch and brake to adjust speed.

Usually though I look for spaces I can pull into and circle around to be pointing out (three or more spaces wide), or a spot I can pull through to be pointing out, or any other spot in the area that is better for me to safely and easily park. I don't care if it's close or near others or away from where I'm going, me being comfortable is all that matters.
