Default Single Post Motorcycle Lift

Is anyone using or has anyone done any research on single post motorcycle lifts? Any information is very much appreciated. I'm getting a new car in approximately 1 month and I will not be able to park both cars and the bike in the garage like I was able to with my old car. It appears that the only solution is a lift.

You really want to park a bike on a raised platform over something in earthquake country ? Might want to talk to your insurance agent before you go too far with this.

One of the ones I would look at (if I had limited floor space).

I'm always kind of leery of a manufacture that won't post their price, it also does not look particularly robust in construction.

Okay I thought the OP was looking for a single post hydraulic lift that you mount into the concrete floor and lift the bike for maintenance. I looked at them when I built my shop because they disapear flush with the floor and you can park over them. The down side is it blocked the bottom of the bike not allowing access for fluid changes and it was going to be impossible to secure the bike on it. For me a lift table was better.
