Here is something someone brought to my attention that one doesn't think about... wind.
Like from a non-stop express
NC700, nice
Hogging two bays, not nice
My steering only locks in the other direction

Center Stand just because my Metropolitan only has CS, but I am getting familiar with the side stand and I like it

I always use the centre stand, always forget there is a side-stand tbh - maybe once a year?

This was on the 2013’s or there about right ? Weren’t the center stands on the later models a different design to correct this issue ?

The issue was on the original non eSP model, manufactured from 2009-2011 I believe.
The centrestand mount lugs were significantly beefed up on the eSP engines.

To park: Side stand to get off the bike. This also kills the engine and disables idling stop. Then always center stand with side stand still in open position.
To go: Take the bike off the center stand and lean it on side stand to get on the bike. This is particularly helpful when Termoscud is installed.
