I got a used Handy Lift off of EBay. One of the best moves I made. Yes, even used I paid 750.00 for the table but its rock solid with my 35K plus bike on it. Go to any bike shop or dealership, I will bet at least 3 of 4 are using Handy lifts. For me, I feel it's cheaper to buy the best tools at first rather then save a little and have to upgrade later.
Good luck with your search. JIM

A few buddies and I just purchased this lift. Wish it lifted slightly higher but other than that we are extremely happy. ($899 delivered)

I do some light work for others... services, minor repairs and whatnot...
Plus paying $100 for premium materials and doing my own oil changes for 2-300 dollars less than the dealer...
That lift has paid for itself a few times over.
IMHO, you get what you pay for... or as another member once said, you don't get what you DON'T pay for.
Good luck!!

Harbor Freight lift here with the separate wheel chock from Harbor Freight. I have no issues with it at all. With the different chock bolted on it's rock solid. It is also bolted to the floor, I used pound in anchors and then bolted it down so it's still movable.
Have had it for almost a year with bike sitting on it for the past eight or nine months without issue.

I have been looking at tables for a few weeks now, have use many in the past, some more stable than others.
That said, I found one at Northern Tool that looks a little better than the Harbor Frieght model.

I'm not familiar with Direct, looked at their link http://www.directlift.com/MotorcycleATV-Lifts-C15.aspx and the Pro Cycle xlt looks like the way I would go. Side extensions and a drop out for tire changes. Look at the lifts here and compare specs. http://www.redlinestands.com/catalog...c-290_110_111/ Shipping on the one you linked to was $377 to my house.
Good Luck

Lots of nice lifts out there for a price....I've seen the Harbor Freight one on sale for $299. If it works, and is not dangerous, I might consider it....Since I only work on my bikes, it would probaly be all I need...(after replacing that lame front tire mount it comes with)

I have a Greg Smith lift and have the extensions. Extensions make it easier to ride on and off as it gives you a place for the feet. I use it for my bikes, garden tractor, and golf cart. Extensions come off if I want to get closer.
If I had it to do over I would have also got the drop tail version which allows you to drop a panel out and remove the rear tire.
