I Agree that the stand is for Crap. I have a rune that has no issue tipping. I parked my CBR at the lake, okay so it was on dirt for 10 secs as I tried to get a piece of wood for the stand, and the da(*&* thing fell right over. Okay so you say, fool that's your fault. I agree not the smartest decision. But, I backed the bike out of the garage and parked it so that I could start it and warm it up. Now, I was not on the bike but I tried to get the gears to Neutral, while I jacked around with the shifter the bike must have moved 1/2 of a CM. The bike started to fall on me[:@] Luckily I've never done any damage, but I was mad enough that I let my dealer know about it. Makes me think twice bout buying another CBR, But then I go and ride mine.
