I use vortex... cheaper than the pitbull and built solid. It has four caster wheels so it's very stable. I don't believe universals will work well on the 600RR. I measured and the swingarm is lower on one side and I was also told by shops I had to buy a spooled stand, if I wanted the bike to be level. Duh... That said, if I had to do it over again, I'd buy the ones from our sponsor at http://www.checkeredflagmotorsports.net/stands.html . They look the same as my Vortex and you get both front and rear for $100.

Josh... the universal you're using, is that on a 600RR? How are you leveling the bike out?

Check out the Cycle Cat UCS01-01. I had my 12 year old daughter lift my bike by herself and it works as advertised.

MSRP is $225... ouch. I'd hit the gym and buy a cheaper stand, my $115 Vortex is easy for me to lift the bike by myself.
