That flat type of lift would require you to become inventive in effectively creating some sort of "cradle" to safely secure and balance the bike package. Specially crafted for the particular bike you are working on. Short of that, I'd be quite concerned with stability and toppling.

A rear paddock stand and a lower triple, pin type front stand have had a Triumph 675 lifted up in my garage a couple months now....quite steady and secure. Affordable, these are more generic stands and can be (and have been) used on many different bikes, certainly not limited to 1.

I seem to remember a recent thread on front and rear stands ...was it here or another forum?
