    Yup, got one on.

    I really missed not having one. Makes lots of little jobs much easier.

    Get one. Now!

    Yep, me too

    Fitted when I bought it mind, I guess fitting yourself is well test

    Essential to me. I can get mine onto mainstand myself. Could never do that with AT.

    Honda charge rather a lot, and it's a pig to fit, but a centre stand makes maintenance and cleaning (wot's that?) much easier. And if you should get a puncture on a trip, it's feasible to remove the wheel!

    Yup, dunno what flavour mine is, but I got it brand new off Ebay for £40. Significantly easier to hoist up there than the AT for sure.

    Re: mainstand

    Get one!

    Having just got on with things without one the difference really brings it home on my AT. Should I ever get a Vara (and there's a fair chance of that TBH...) it will have a centre stand..

    It's starting to make me mad that these bikes don;t come with them as standard....
    I'm going on a trip!
