Leaning too far on the kickstand?

Leaning too far on the kickstand?
Is this just a CBR thing or what? My bike seems like it leans way over when its on the kickstand. Its fine on flat ground but in less than ideals situations its sketchy. Im just worried about it being tipped over in a parking lot or something.Is everyone'slike this? My brothers GSXR seems way more stable.Here's a pic in the garage on perfectly flat concrete, compare it to the axle on my quad:

Looks like normal amount of lean to me but I*d still take a look at the stand to make sure everything looks okay. Keep in mind that the lean actually adds more stability not less (up to a point) .. in strong winds the gsxr*s more upright stance is more likely to go down.

my '08 600RR leans ALOOOOOT more than my F4i. when i 1st got it, it took some getting used to.....as i'd be getting off of the bike and letting it rest on the stand it felt like it took a lifetime for the stand to touch the ground, lol. i kept looking down like 'wtf'...
its a-ok though

RE: Leaning too far on the kickstand?
Its kinda funny that you guys felt it was leaning over too far because I found it was too upright. For the first month or so owning the bike I was always double and triple checking the kickstand to make sure it was all the way forward. I guess it all depends on the kind of bike you had before. My friends thought it was a little upright too, one owns an F4i and the other a Kawa Z750.
